BROWN & CARSON
It mi only 5 eptember, and 1$97's Christmas was three months in tkt
future. But Virginia (XHonloo' s concern was with on important problem
I hot, to hot, know no season Tfcot was vfcy sAo wrote her letter to the
Now York Sum.
Tk o enswor to Virginia's question, written in 0 moment o4 deep spirrt
vol insight by F rone it B. Church, s tonds teen today as a testament express
ing two thousand years of faith. It has bean reprinted here because it always
will deserve to be road again
"Yes, indeed!
"Virginia, your little Ir lends ore wrong They
hove been offacted by the skepticism of o skep
ticol age -they do not believe except what they
see - they think that nothing can be which is not
comprehensible by their little minds
"All mindt, Virginia, whether they be men's
or children's, or* little
In this greot universe of ours, man is c mere
insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whale of truth and knowledge
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santo Claus
"He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they obound 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 childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable
this existence We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight The eternal light with which childhood
fills the world would be extinguished
"Not believe in Santa Claus' You might as well not beliave in fairies!
"You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but
even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Clous, but that is no
sign that there is no Santa Clout ? the most real things in the world are those neither Children nor men can sea
"Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof thot they are not there ? no
body can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable m the world
"You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is o veil
covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, or even the united strength of
all the strangest men, that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry,
love, romance, can push oside the curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty
and glory beyond
"Is it all real?? ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
"No Santo Claus! Thank God! ? he lives, and he lives forever ? a thousand
years, from now, Virginia, noy, ten thousand years from now, he will con
tinue to make glad the heart of childhood."
