SANTA CLAUS is A FAITH
Take Kris KringIe Away From Chill
dren and You Rob Christmas Of
Half lts Joys.

Some very honest people are such
sticklers for truth that they are con-
cerned about our firm belief In Santa
Claus. Well, 1t is 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 1t does
not seem to be definitely settled. But
for the most of us truth Is what we
truly believe. It Is the faith that Is In
us, and Santa Claus is faith, II not
a fact, and so we say again that we do
believe in Santa Claus, says an ex-
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 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.

Of coy reserve, but Farley had stuck
holly and evergreen around the OIL

brave sprig Of mistletoe tied with GRIM

As each member of the household
came In the greetings were hearty and
quite satisfactory, even to Beth. She
had not thought the experiment would
bring out even that much fellowship
and good will from the silent, self-ab-
sorbed crowd at Mrs. Forbes.
She put the prettiest bunch Of all
and card Of Christmas cheer beside
Mr.. Benchley's plate. Poor, grouchy
old Scotchman, nobody ever had a
good word for him. In all the months
that she had been an inmate Of the

that anyone had ever given him even

But Beth liked him best of all. That

door box of fresh violets and q book
she had been wishing for inscribed
from her sincere friend, Alan Farley.
II was the book more than the inscrip-

she had smiled, remembering. a verse
that Alan liked to repeat from Mrs.
Browning: .~..

The Gift Divine
BY WIN. BRADFORD DICKSON

At this fair Christmastide,
When Joy bells ring out
The song of plenty and ring In
The reign OF peace throughout
This wonderful land of ours
The while-across the sea
Old Mother Earth Is drenched with blood
And hate and carnage reign supreme:
While stockings wall for milk
And children faint for lack of food;
While strong men fall beside the way
And homeless women kneel in prayer
I do not ask for gifts
OF frankincense and myrrh,
OF gold, Of Ophir or Of either Ind.
OF jewels rare or priceless merchandise.
OF marble halls or vast estates.
Nor cen the costly homage of mankind:
But this
II.
That may give each day full need
Unto the willing mind and heart,
OF light Of Truth and warmth Of Love.
OF matchless skill in coEtort's art
That magic all Transforming touch
Which heals the leper's spots
And turns to naught the wounds ana
scars
Deep scared upon the heart of man
On llfe's great battlefield
That I may bind earth's broken hearts.
Lifting UP the dropping heads
OF the oppressed and burdened ones.
That may plant within young hearts
A deeper longing for the Right
OF mercy for the hapless weak
And those who suffer daily throes
OF hunger. pain, disease. neglect;
That may know forgetfulness
For daily sights and wrongs;
That may hourly grow
In love Of liberty. Of friend and foe.
And all the world
May grow in love-a fruitful love
For all the beauty and true
In nature. art. the heavenly realm
And for the noble deeds of all mankind:
That I may fill the widening hours Of
life
With courage. cheerfulness. and hopsI
That may help my fellow man
Behold the dawn beyond the night.
The gentle calm beyond the storm.
These are the gifts crave
Above the blind worlds treasure trovs
OF gaud and gilt.
Who gives his better self the whole year
through
Gives lifes own priceless gift to all the
world and you-the gift divine.

hand up warningly.
"Don't shock me or alarm me, and

Meanwhile our American representa-
