"Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men: rr en Ret RR 11 ERATE fe a AA BE Ain A teh Brewers mrt Claus?" = An -editorial written by Francis Pharcellus Church, published in the Sun in 1897, one of the finest "stories in English literature, answered for all times and for all children this old, old question: "Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by =the scepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not, comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's are little, In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured:by the intel- ligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge. 4 "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 were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. © There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this exist - ' to watch all the chimneys on Christ- mas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things on this world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see faries dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but there is no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive. or imagine all the wonders that are un- seen and unseeable in the world. "You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, not even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart, Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, éan push aside that curtain and view and picture this supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.' ie oil 4 2 : - ' "No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever.
