He is always gay, even festive.. He is the only god in all mythology. Some gods like Venus and Cofes are amiable, others as Cupid and Pan are mischievous. Bacchus 1s diabolical, but funny. Santa Claus is merry and gay. Now why? Men create gods in their own image as God creuted man in His. Why have we made Santa Claus the happy god? Let's take the old fellow, strap his legs and arms to the dissecting board, shoot a sniff of anesthetic up his dear old snoot and carve into him. Well, what do we see? Gouging into his subconsciousness we come to his philosophy. bs There we find the reason for his merriment. His philosophy is the shortest philosophy in the world, a one-word philosophy: “Give.” - - ‘When man gives he is happy if he is worthy to give, and to be worthy to ive first of all one must have self-respect. Only the beggar feels worthy to receive, It is the strong man who feels able to give. This mood of giving which Santa Claus conjures up strengthens the self-re- spect of humanity. By the magic of crowd psychology with everyone giving and giving again, self-respect, by the sheer act of {imitation and repetition, comes flooding into the heart of the world. Christmas is the one season where we say “God bless you” instead of “God help me,” and the phrases are-poles apart. He who “— a blessing ignores his inferiority complex; he who asks one magnifies It. Santa Claus, the merry god created in the image of our seltireapect, makes us happy by the very glory of.a temporary rebirth, We are in- deed new creatuyes regenerated, born again. The whole musty jargon of theology about the necessity of being born anew is explained in the twinkling of an eye. He who is born anew simply gains his self-respect. Suddenly he finds himecif in a fraternal attitude toward the world. When a man realizes that he is the equal of any other creature on earth, he jabs out his chin, elevates his breast bone, throws back his head, looks the world in the eye and laughs in his heart at the earthworm he once was. All this we can see by looking into the vitals of old Santa Claus lying there unconscloys under the anesthetic as we prod through his afterthought for his subconsciousness. . The merry god of our modern mythology is more than a god, he is a prophet. When we get it into our head that we can make Christmas run 365 days, We can be as merry as he. But when every day is Christmas, we must keep our self-respect, we must keep our fraternal attitude toward men. We must realize that we are the seed of the ordained Kin brothers of nien and children of God, reborn out of our self-imposed 1 feriority, out of the beggar complex which would receive, into the r line that gives. Knowing this we will laugh and grow fat. Some day in another men may be born again by the salvation of Santa Claus. Then they will look hack upon this as a mean and sordid age. Some posterity may sce us now only as men who sought to take, men who would ask and beg and gouge and grind, before they learned to give and bless, and before they knew they were worthy to rattle out the Keen laughter of proud hearts, All the world then will shake its excess abdominal adipose “like a bow! full of jelly.” So when you meet the happy god, hold him fast; every days you can keep him through the year makes you happier and the world better. ~ All hail Santa Claus, the prophet of the new order. ie S sic picture of xe, ‘ eee Stin Ones , Chris Wil lifted) thing that met Kaith’s eyes as si f the room on Bob Hathawa redas she turn A full | the: b | prelimi read the pi this) the first officer of aw | involunt nd shook her| of the murder to police headquarters “Pd rather not,,{ Dr. Enos ton, chief medical of-| naturali ver of the county, called in by.
