In the Greek and Russian restaurants

"NO Santa Claus!"

wF it be true, as some do say,
That there's no Santa Claus,
q What is this spirit on the way
That never seems to pause
When Christmas chimes are sounding
clear
Upon the frosty night
In spreading splendid gifts Of cheer
In every mortaPs night?
What Is this sense Of glow divine
That comes to you and me
When watching all that happy line
OF children round the tree7
Whence comes this mantling atmos-
phere,
So full of sweet release
That falls upon as once a year
And covers US with peace7
No Santa CLAUSE Oh, men Of doubt,
Whence comes this sorry elaim7
Would you so fair spirit flout
For reasons of a name?
Dear Santa Claus is everywhere
Where hearts are true and kind,
And where there's love of man tits there
His presence rare we find.

Some one has said that there cannot

OF course there cannot.
The occasion is the new birth of the
world. Unless the preacher Is com

grown since its new birth, unless he
can comprehend and declare the inf
mite greatness of that kingdom of God
which the Saviour of men promises in
the world and unless the same preach

cannot preach the sermon which shall
