They fete you in songs; they represent you in plays and tableaux; they imper­ sonate you in schools, churches, and parties. And all is done in a carica­ ture of a fat, jolly little old elf who makes an annual pilgrimage from his toy factory at the North Pole to squeeze himself down millions of chimneys the world over, distribut­ ing his gifts to all “good” little chil­ dren. It would be hard for you to imagine to what gigantic propor­ tions this has been carried. I’m quite sure that many more children in the world know the Santa Claus story than know the true Christmas story.

Our expectation is from Him. Well, Santa Claus, I’ll look for­ ward to a visit with you when I get to heaven. Until then, I remain Your brother in Christ If you are already a member of the Fellowship and have received an extra copy of this publication, please pass it along to a friend so that he may also enroll in the Plan and receive these helpful monthly features from the broadcasts.
