Contest winners Editor’s note: Eight- year-old Virginia 1st O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York’s Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, ap- pearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps. DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no LAUREN JENNINGS/DAILY INDEPENDENT Santa Claus. 701 Peg Street Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? 2nd VIRGINIA O’HAN- LON. 115 WEST NINETY- FIFTH STREET. VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere in- sect, an ant, in his intel- lect, as compared with the boundless world LAUREN JENNINGS/DAILY INDEPENDENT about him, as measured 713 West Alene Avenue by the intelligence capa- ble of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, VIRGINIA, there 3rd is a Santa Claus. He ex- ists as certainly as love and generosity and de- votion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if LAUREN JENNINGS/DAILY INDEPENDENT there were no VIR- 1831 South Mahan Street GINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, ex- Honorable mentions cept in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extin- guished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither chil- dren nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there.

    OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN Biography

    OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN Biography “I am committed and excited about educating and encouraging women to take a positive role in their breast health.” – Olivia Newton-John Born in Cambridge, England in 1948, the youngest child of Professor Brin Newton-John and Irene, daughter of Nobel Prize winning physicist, Max Born, Olivia moved to Melbourne, Australia with her family when she was five. By the age of fifteen, she had formed an all-girl group called Sol Four. Later that year she won a talent contest on the popular TV show, “Sing, Sing, Sing,” which earned her a trip to London. By 1963, Olivia was appearing on local daytime TV shows and weekly pop music programs in Australia. Olivia cut her first single for Decca Records in 1966, a version of Jackie DeShannon’s "Till You Say You’ll Be Mine." In 1971, she recorded a cover of Bob Dylan’s "If Not For You," co-produced by John Farrar, who she continues to collaborate with today. Her 1973 U.S. album debut, "Let Me Be There," produced her first top ten single of the same name, with Olivia being honored by the Academy Of Country Music as Most Promising Female Vocalist and a Grammy Award as Best Country Vocalist. This proved to be only the beginning of a very exciting career. Her countless successes include three more Grammys, numerous Country Music Awards, American Music Awards and Peoples Choice Awards, five #1 hits including “Physical,” which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and 15 top 10 singles. In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in “Grease” catapulted Olivia into super- stardom.

    Cathy's Attorney Asked Me to Provide a Professional

    Dedication To those faithful ones, all over the world, who are standing courageously for Christ. Introduction hen I was a young boy, there was a TV program Wcalled Naked City. At the end of each episode, the narrator intoned: “There are 8 million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.” While Alliance Defending Freedom may not have 8 million stories to tell since the launch of our ministry in 1994, I can look back over those years and think of a few hundred that have inspired me, and all of us on the ADF team. We’ve had the privilege of working with so many clients whose lives are testimonies to God’s grace and faithfulness. We have come to love and admire these men, women, and children for their steadfast faith in times of great personal difficulty. These courageous believers are present-day embodiments of the words of James: “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing” (James 1:2-4). This book is made up of the testimonies of individuals who took a stand for Christ when their faith was challenged – people who persevered, and emerged with their faith stronger than before. It has been an honor, a blessing, and an encouragement to serve such great men and women, and to know them as brothers and sisters in Christ who are fighting the “good fight” for the faith.
