There Is Santa Claus! Texas Youngsters
Prove It When His Whiskers Won t Pull OFF

in the neighborhood assembled before
Santa could return to the street. He
made a break for an alley, but the
kiddies knew the block better than he
did, and cornered him.
Pull his whiskers," one skeptic yelled
IF they come of, boloney."
The test was applied, but this Santa
had grown his own whiskers and the
kiddies were convinced. He took orders
for everything from dolls to limousnes
from his treasured admirers, before he
could escape.

PARIS. December 24.-Appeals for
peace and good will among men featur-
ed Christmas messages to the people
of the United States given to the Asso-
ciated Press by two Of the leading
churchmen of France, They were as
follows:
BY Cardinal Dubois, Archbishop of
Paris.
peace on earth, good will to men:
divine and ever opportune prayer, but
especially so in our time, on the NOR
row of a terrible convulsion from which
the whole world has not yet entirely
recovered.
GOOD wills are strung from one end
of the universe to the other. in order
finally to bring about by peace the
equilibrium of social forces, of rival in
terests. of national aspirations.
Shall we succeed in stabilizing peace,
in warding of for a long time at least
the menaceS of a new World War?
Yes, on one condition, that we call
ever more often for the aid of spirit
ual and religious forces, which are the
best agents of international concord.
Love One Another
Before the lnjustices or provocative
ambitions OF foreign WarS-agalnSC SUP
Iersive theories which arouse hatred and
prepare revolutions, the church rises up
with her divine doctrine of justice
and of charity. She repeats to individu-
ais as to nations the evangelical words,
love one another
May these words be heard and taken
to heart may the light of truth which
Christ brought upon earth spread
throughout the world for the guidance
of men. May true brotherhood, respect
ing the rights of each individual, unite
the sons of the same heavenly Father.
And may there spread more and
more widely on earth the kingdom of
God, for whom the Little Child Of
Bethlehem made Himself, here below,
the messenger to bring to humanity
the only efficacious conditions Of peace
and happiness"

APPEALS MADE FOR GOOD WILL
BYLEADING FRENCH CTIURCFIMEN
Christmas Messages Sent to Americans by
Archbishop of Paris and Leader of
Huguenot Church.

BY Pastor Henry Soulie, leader of
the Huguenot Church in France:
Bells are ringing on earth, angels
are singing in heaven. Over ocean and
continent the joyous message of Christ
mas is borne again: Love one another
All If we could but at last listen to
this divine appeal. how everything
would change. Peaceful would be our
hearts, secure and happy our homes,
brotherhood the motto of our cities and
state, cordial the harmony of the
world.
All Else Called Vain.
Eyes, love one another Outside of
that all Is in vain-religious observance,
wealth, power. civilization. With love,
on the contrary, divine love, the love
of what is good, of the humble, of
Christ of the Father, everything is
transfigured. With the love that comes
from the manger Christianity finds its
first seed. All-conquering. money, In
stead of being the worst of masters
becomes the best of servants; power
becomes the core of justice and peace;
civilization, the beacon of the Divine
Infant.
This Is the evangile in our hands,
the evangile in its simplicity of Christ
mas. The crusade to be undertaken,
the only thing necessary for the SAL
vation of our souls and the true great
ness of nations.
Let us take the initiative. You, the
United States of America, to remain
faithful to your traditions symbolized
by the pilgrims of the Mayflower; we,
France, once called the eldest daughter
of the church, also with its heroic line
of martyrs of the Reformation. This
crusade for the triumph of the gospel
throughout the world will unite us
more and better than political decisions
alone.
THE only lasting. fruitful, profound,
eternal truth is the unity of hearts
when we are on our knees at the feet
of the Divine Master, Christ, born and
dead on the cross, who reignS from
centuray to century and says to us day
by day: Love one another"

Are you excited about the coming

to oI,
lacked enthusiasm, particularly those
of the older children. They bore eX-
pressions entirely too cynical and de-
void of faith for children that age. The
smaller ones still retained a glimmer

thought Santa Claus woulo come, even
though older brothers said no. Il ! m

Turning to the little girls, whose faces
bore such pathetic expressions of mute

gets good little girls" The mother was
grateful and thanked the worker as she
hastened on her way, eager to report

with fewer Christmas trees than usual.
Reports from the steamship companies
indicate that probably not more than
$50 trees from New England were
brought to the island this year, and of
these probably the majority went TO
schools and institutions rather than TO
private homes.
The reduced number Of treeS'ordered
by merchants is believed to have been
due to the feeling that with losses from
