"this was his reply in his paper: " “Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism oi a skeptical age. They do not believe, except they sec.

We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills theworld would be ex- tinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus? You 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 there is no Santa. Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ‘ever sec fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not; but that's no proof that th-cy are mt there; No‘- body can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and uusccablc in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and sec what makes the noise inside, but fhcrc 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, ro- mance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supcrnal beauty and glory beyond. It is all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus? Thank Godi he lives and he lives forever.
