Is There a Santa Claus!

1t is the same eterna'questlon.
And how often will it be asked.
Just as long and as often as
Christmas comes. You will be
asked and thousands more, and
little children will be answered
and treasured and made happy
lust as was the little girl who
put her question to the great
editor, Charles A. Dana. She
sought high authority when
someone had caused her faith IN
childhood's patron saint to fall,
and this is what the famous
editor wrote her. 1t is the best
answer that we know
Virginia, your little friends
are wrong. They have been
affected by the skeptlcism of a
skeptical age. They do not be.
lieve except they see. They
think that nothing can be which
is not comprehensive to their
little minds. All minds, Virg'
mia, wheather they be mems or
children's. are little. In this
great universe of ours man is a
mere insect, an ant, in his IN
tellect, as compared with the
b~oundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole OF
truth and knowledge. 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
highest beauty and JOY. Alas!
how dreary would be the world
if there we're no Santa Claus.
1t would be as dreary as if there
were no Virginias. There would
be no childlike faith then, nc
romance, to make tolerable this
existence. We should have nc
enjoyment except in sense and
sight. The eternal light will
which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished. Not be
lieye in Santa Claus? Yor

We would not for the world,
we're we able to do so, take one
iota Of hope, or dream of JOY
from the child heart of the little
ones, of their belief and sincerity
in a real and living Santa Claus.
There was one in our young life;
we know he still lives. Let joy 60

the little ones rejoice.

might as well not believe in
fairies! You might get your
papa to hire men to watch in all
the chimneys on Christmas Eve
to catch Santa Claus. but that is
no sign that there is no Santa
Claus. The most real things in
the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did
you ever see fairies dancing on
the lawn? OF course not; but
that's no proof that they are not
there, Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there
are unseen and unseeable in the
world. You may tear apart the
baby's rattle and seewhat makes
the noise inside, but there is a
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, 70

curtain and view and picture the
supernal beauty and glory be
You'd. Is it real? All, Virginia,

GIVES INSTANCE
OF POWER
OF PRAYER

Dear MI. White:-- ~
After reading in the Ledger Of Mrs.
Hunts testimony in regard to the
healing Of 'ood.ly affection by prayer :
the following is brought to my mind
In the fall Of the year 1850, my
father, D. R. Erisman, was sent from
Sabbath Home Methodist Episcopal.
Church, then standing two and one-
half miles south of Rush Hill as a
delegate to the district conference
held at Centrala.
He with two ministers were cared
for at the home Of Mrs. Hunt. The
three men were users Of tobacco. Mrs..
Hunt talked with the Minister'S in re-
gard to the example and influence on
their followers and then offered pray
ers for their willingness to quit the
habit. Also for the removal Of the
desire.
My fIther. who was a class leader,
Sunday School superintendent and
teacher Of a class Of boys had often
tried to quit the habit but was never
free from the torrnenting desire and
consequently would return to the
habit. During Mrs. Hunts prayer he
promised never to use tobacco again.
With a conservation which was deep
enough faith sprang up and as a nat
ural consequence the work was done.
Such is his testimony today.
Respectfully,
MRS. W. E. SPENCER.

CHAPTER XII.

Il was the gayest spring that Har-
| riet had ever known at Crownlands,
for yer at her best, Isabelle had been
socially an in~dividuallst, devoting her
! self to n man at a time, and to no
body else, and the whole family had
necessarily accepted Isabelle's atti-
tude. Richard had been too busy to
notice or protest, the old lady help
less, and Nina a child.
But now there was a beautiful and
gracious woman In Isabelle's place,
and long before the world knew that
Harriet Field wa really Harriet Car
ter, there was a very decided change
In the social atmosphere. Richard be-
gan to bring his friends to the house;
he was proud Of his smoothly running
establishment, anc proud of the
charming woman who neither fiirted
with nor ignored the men he brought
home.
Always beautiful and always busy,
constantly in demand on all sides, she
went about his house like a smiling
worker Of miracles, and Richard
watched her. When she went home
to her sister for a day or two he
missed her strangely, and wandered
about the empty room with a desc
late sense Of loss.
She was presently back, and amused
the young people at the dinner table
with q spirited account Of her sisters
move into a new house-"really an
old house." that she and her family
had been watching for years.
Nina and Amy and Ward had rushed
from the dinner table to an early
dance at the club, and Richard. after
a talk with his mother on the terrace,
had wandered about with a vague
! hope of finding Harriet somewhere
with her book, But she was NOT
downstairs.
He went back, and presently accom-
panied his mother to her door. The
old lady stopped outside Of Nina's
open door, from which a subdued light
streamed.
"Oh, Miss Field" said Madame
Carter. \
eYes, Madame CarterT The rich.

ara hoped she would come to the door,
bue his faotheE'sS message was dellv-

ssOh, yes, Madame Carter" Harriet
answered. The two exchanged good
nights Richard loitered into his moth
er's room, left her in her maids hands,
and went back into the dimly lighted,
spacious upper hall. He felt oddly
stirred; there were letters downstairs,
his usual books and anusements, but
he felt cautiously impesled to try for
one more word with Kiss Field.
He opened the door OF Nina's room,
and went In, and knocked on the half
open door within that connected 1t
with Harriet's room.
"Come In. Is it you. Pilgrim the
pleasant, quiet voice said. Richard
stepped to the doorway.
