ALETTER TO
SANTA CLAUS

Mr.. Santa Claus,
Milky Way,
North Pole.
Dear Santa Claus:
It's been so long, so very long since
my last letter to you. Somehow,
grown-ups have forgotten to write
Santa Claus. Perhaps by writing this
letter | can feel again spark of the
great Faith and certainty | had when
| was small boy Today, however,
Pm not asking for books, skates and
toys. | am asking for those gifts
gifts that money cannot buy-gifts
that we grown-ups stand SO sorely in
need of today
Dear Santa: What has happened to
your beautiful Christmas Star that
stone with such luminous brilliancy
in the mystic stiffness Of that eventful
night several centuries ago. That
Star changed the destiny of the hu-
man race, more than the wisdom of
the worlds greatest rulers and more
than the combined work of all the
scientists up to that time. Please set
your Star again in the heavens and
let it's light shine brighter than ever
before so that its rays may penetrate
every part of the earth to light the
path of man onward. Those mystic
rays of light are the only hope of a
distressed people rent assunder by
wars, confusion of thought, selfish
ness and misunderstanding
Dear Santa: Send also men who
can see the Star and who will follow
it with the same courage, strength
and determination as did the Wise
Men of old. Send men who are filled
with the spirit of wisdom, unselfish
helpfulness and divine guidance to un-
ravel the mysterious web of misun-
derstanding and confusion of thought.
Men-great men, who can direct our
course into channels of unselfish,
useful service so we may receive a
larger measure of divine promises
and the full realization of a better
future.
Finally, Dear Santa, bring Peace.
Your sleigh bells even now are faint
