Is There A Santa Claus?

How many times has the question
been asked? There was once a little
girl whose name was Virginia who
sought high authority for an answer
to Charles A. Dana, editor 81 the
New York sun, saying Some of
my friends say there is no Santa
Claus. Please tell ME the truth. l.
there a Santa Claus? The famous
editor was pleased to tell her the
truth. This was his reply, printed in
his paper:
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong They have been affected b.
the skepticism Of skeptical age,
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be
which is not compresensible to theii
little minds. All minds, Virginia
whether they be mems or children's
are little. In this great universe Of
ours man is mere insect an ant, in
his intellect. as compared with the
boundless world about him, as meas
ured by the intelligence capable OF
erasping the whole truth and know
ledge Yes. Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus He exists as certainly
as love and generosity and devotion
exist. and you know that they
abound and give to your life its high
est beauty and JOY. Alas how
dreary would be the world if there
were no Santa Claus. 1t would be a.
dreary as If there were no Virginias
