pressing at the same time our
great gratification that its faith

friends of The Sun.
Dear Editor: I am eight years

Sun it’s so.” Please tell me the
j truth, is there a Santa Claus?

they see. They think that noth
ing can be which is not compre
i headed by their little minds. A1
'minds, Virginia, whether they b<
men’s or children’s, are little
: In this great universe of our
I man is a mere insect, an ant, ii
; his intellect as compared witt
1 the boundless world about him
as measured by the intelligent’*
capable of grasping the whoa
of truth and knowledge.
I Yes, Virginia, there is a Sank
Claus. He exists as certainly a;
love and generosity and devotior
exist, and you know that the;
abound and give to our life it,
highest beauty and joy. Alas
how dreary would be the work
if there were no Santa Claus- II
would be as dreary as if ther<
were no Virginias. There wouk
be no childish faith then, lit
poetry, no romance, to mak<
tolerable this existence. W (
should have no enjoyment, ex
cept in sense and sight. Tin
j eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be ex
tinquished,
Not believe in Santa Claus!
i You might as well not believe ir:
'fairies! You might get your paps
to hire men to watch in all tin
chimneys on Christmas Eve tc
catch Santa Claus, but even 11
they did not see Santa Clam
coming down, what would thal
prove? Nobody sees 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
i can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? Of course
; not, but that’s no proof they are
I n°f there. Nobody can concieve
or imagine all the wonders there
are unseen and unseeable in the
world.
