YES! THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS
Maybe he doesn’t wear a red suit and snowy whiskers—
and drive reindeers— and crawl down chimneys— and live
at the North Pole, but there’s a Santa Claus just the same.
He’s the fellow who reminds us all that our most cher
ished ambition may yet be realized. He whispers hope in
the ears o f wistful youngsters as they press their noses
against windows filled with toys. He says a cheering word
to people who are cold and hungry and brings them a NYSSA YOUTH SEES

Thanksgiving mass. Then we spent a
half hour in the new Pennsylvania sub
way station. We watched a Santa Claus
parade by Glmbel Brothers department
store. We had Thangsgivlng dinner in
the Seminary dining room and after
wards drove to Franklin field to see the
football game between Cornell and the
University of Pennsylvania. Cornell
won 20 to 12.
That evening we went to hear Billie
Sunday. He seems to have calmed down
a lot from the preaching methods of
his youth.
Friday morning we listened to the
pipe organ in John Wanamaker's huge
store. We visited the art gallery. At 11
we went to the City Ha’ l to take an
elevator up about 500 feet to view the
city. A 39 foot statute of William
Penn surmounts the building. At 2 we
started for a 2 hour inspection through
the Philadelphia General Electric
Works. We spent from 4 to 5 in the
Pennsylvania University Art Museum.
There we saw good specimens of Greek
and Roman ruins. At 7 p. m. we went
to see Zlegfield Follies. Parts were e--
cellent, especially two or three of the
bal'et dances.
Saturday we made a trip through the
Art Museum. Paintings by English
painters were the best I had ever seen.
We spent 20 minutes in the Rodin Art
Gallery. Rodi is noted primarily for
his statue, "The Thinker." In the after
noon we heard Frits Kreisler. At 7:30
we went to Fels Planetarium to view
motions of the universe from a man
made model. I believe there is only one
other planetarium in the U. S.—at
Chicago, their building being represen
tative of Grecian architecture.
It was a great week end.—Jesse.
