SANTA CLAUS IS A FAITH
Take Kris kringle Away From Chill.
dren and You Rob Christmas Of
Halt Its Joys.

Some very honest people are such
sticklers for truth that they are con-
cerned about our firm belief in Santa
Claus. Well, it is a good thing to
stand up for truth, If we really know
the truth. But we know that q great
many very learned people have been
wrangling about what truth is for sew
eral thousand years, and yet it does
not seem to be definitely settled. But
for the most of Is truth is what we
truly believe. 1t is the faith that is in
US, and Santa Claus Is a faith, If not
a fact, and SO we say again that we do
believe in Santa Claus, says an ex1
change.
Take Santa Claus away from the
children and you rob Christmas Of half
Its Joy. Grownup though we may be.
we would rather hang up our stocking
"the night before Christmas" and find
1t bullying full Of gifts in the dim light
Christmas morning, than to have a car
load come duly tied up and labeled,
and delivered by the mailman. Who
wouldn't? There is a lure in the mys-
terry of Santa Claus that has endeared
him to every childish heart, and so do
not take him away until you have
something better to offer.
