CHAPTER VII
GRAY OWL, SANTA CLAUS

“Sing, Christmas bells!

Sing to all men,—the bond, the free,

The rich, the poor, the high, the low,

The little child that sports in glee,

The aged folk that tottering go,—

Proclaim the morn

That Christ is born

That saveth them and saveth me!”

“Blessed are they who still dream and wonder and believe.”
