Old Santa Claus on Christmas eve will come again with
laden sleigh and tots and kidlets will receive his bounty in
the old-time way. I see him now beneath the moon where
shadows on the sun-fields dance, urging his reindeer late and
soon out of the frozen north a-prance. And I can hoar old
Santa’s shout and tinkling sleighbells sounding clear, the
while he wheels his steeds about and welcomes all the chil
dren doar. And If he strikes our town at night, when snowy
silence hovers round, up to the roof with keen delight the
graceful, eager reindeer bound. Then by each gusty chim
ney-top the big sleigh chugs and sto|>e a bit, and with his bag
does Santa drop over the edge and into it. . . Ah chll-
dren in your whitest frocks, gather about the Christmaa tree,
fling on the air your curly locks, and welcome Santa mer-
rily. But all the time across the wave the hungry children
cry for broad, and babies totter to the grave on Christmaa
eve, unloved, unfed; unloved because their fathers fell on
many a field of bitter fight, unfed because we fare so well,
and do not send them bread tonight. If the meek Master
were anear, would He sit round a Christmas tree? or hasten
to his children dear that call unto him piteously? Fathers
and mothers, ere ye toll your children of Christ’s peace on
earth, help feed his lambs. Thus do ye well to brighten your
own Christmas hoarth.
