TINE FOR TOTS TO GET IN
TOUCH WITH TOY
LAND
TO PRINT LETTERS
Children Of LOwndes County
Are Invited To Address Kris
kringIe Through The
Columbus Dispatch.

AS has been It's custom for many
years past. the Dispatch will this
year publish letters from the children
Of Lowndes County to Santa Claus.
The first Of the letters was received
yesterday and it is hoped they viii
come right along until every child
has informed Kris Kringle the pres
ents desired at Christmas time.
OF course there is a Santa Claus,
big, fat, jolly smiling, white-whisk-
cred old fellow, who has the ability to
draw in his breath and slip down
ehimneys and who by some means
unknown to US can keep the flames OF
the Fireplace from burning his beard.
Santa Claus really exists. He exists
as certainly as love and generosity
and devotion exist, and you know that
they abound and give to your life its
highest beauty and joy Alas how
dreary il there were no Virginias.
There would be no childlike faith
then; no poetry; no romance to make
tolerable this existence. We should
have no enjoyment except in sense
and sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the world would
be extinguishcd
Not believe in Santa Claus You
might as well not believe in fairies.
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch all your chimneys on Christ
mas Eve to caRh Santa Claus, but
even if they did not see Santa Claus
coming down, what would that prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is
no sign that there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world arc
those that neither children nor men
can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawna OF course not.
But that's no proof that they are not
there. Nobody can conceive or I'M
agine all the wonders there are until
seen and until seeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise in
side. but there is veil covering the
unseen world which not the strongest
man, nor even the united strength of
all the strongest men that ever lived,
could tear apart. Only faith. fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push aside
that curtain and view and picture the
3upcrnal beauty and glory beyond.
No Santa Claus2 Thank God, he
ives, and he lives forever A thou
sand years from now; nay, ten times
zen thousand years from now, he will
continue to make glad the heart Of
childhood
He's looking for your letters, child
ZEN. so don't disappoint him You
AN help him very much by telling
lm in advance what you want. Send
,our letters TO the Dispatch as soon
IS you have written them.

Revival Services At
First Baptist Church

Everything is in readiness for the
revival services which are to begin
next Sunday morning at the First
Baptist Church Of Columbus. The
pastor Of the church, the Rev. Jesse
D. Franks, will do the preaching. He
is an earnest, consecrated, forceful
gospel preacher. He does not intro
duce any of the modern sensational
methods of revivalists into his pull
pit, but delivers discourses that are
helpful, convincing and inspiring, and
wins souls for Christ by means Of a
clear and uplifting presentation Of
the plan of salvation.
A feature of the series of services
will be the music, under the able
direction of Professor Charles But
Ter, whose work as singing evang-
elist has made him a welcome visitor
in any church in the South.
The Rev. Jesse ID. Franks, hopes,
first, to win men for Christ. He
hopes, secondly, to increase the mem
bership of his church. In this his
are laudable ard praise
worthy. Christian people of all de-
are invited to attend the
services, and as many as can are ask
ed to bring with them one or more
persons who are not chWch members,
The greatest success will attend the
meeting if numbers who are not now
identified with any church will attend
the services and become interested in
he Lords work.
