Santa Claus is under the ban in Janesville.
Has the jolly saint been "churched"?
It looks that way.
He will not show his head in a Mower City church this year, and the exercises are framed with a view to omitting his name. Santa is a sort of pagan, it is declared and his commemoration is not in keeping with the religious spirit of the day. The Sunday school workers of the city have agreed fully on this point and will frame their program accordingly.
Christmas trees?
Certainly.
Holly?
Without limit.
Presents and candy
To be sure.
But no St. Nicholas. Superintendents and teachers have decided that tales about the white-whiskered old spook, shall no longer receive their sanction.— Wis., Gazette.
