Fitchburg, Mass., Dec. 31, 1906.

Beloved Leader:—In the Christian Science Sentinel of Jan. 6, 1906, you published a statement entitled "Christmas for the Children," reading in part as follows:—

"Methinks the loving parents and guardians of youth ofttimes query: How shall we cheer the children's Christmas and profit them withal? The wisdom of their elders, who seek wisdom of God, seems to have amply provided for this, according to the custom of the age and to the full supply of juvenile joy. Let it continue thus, with one exception; namely, the children should not be taught to believe that Santa Claus has aught to do with this pastime. A deceit or falsehood is never wise."
