"Yes. indeed!
"Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have
been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age—
they do not believe except what 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,
•n ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
"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 Vir
ginias. 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 6U« the
world would be extinguished.
"Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well
not believe in fairies!
"You might get your papa to hire men to watch in
ail 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
Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus
—the most real things in the world are those neither
children nor men can see.
"Did you ever see fairies dancing on th. lawn?
Os course noi, but that’s no proof that they are not

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS
Back in 189 1 . little Virginia O Hanlon wrote the fol
lowing letter to the editor of the New \ork Sun: "I am
8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no
Santa Claus. Papa says, 'lf you see it in The Sun it's so.’
Please tell me the truth—is there a Santa Claus?" The
editor wrote a newspaper and literary classic in reply i
to this childish plea. Il is reprinted here.
there—nobody can conceive or imagine all the won
ders that are unseen 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, or
even the united strength of ail the strongest men that
ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry,
love, romance, can push aside 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 Santa Claus! Thank God!—he lives, and he
lives forever—a thousand years from now, Virginia,
nay, ten thousand years from now-, he will continue
to make glad the heart of childhood."
