CANA rs sALuEE.
In about two hours we pass through
Cana. the village Of Palestine whsre the
mother Of Christ and our Lord attended
the wedding Of poor relative, having
come over from Nazareth for that purpose
The mother OF Christ-for women arc 6rst

visions had fallen short and she told
Christ, and hc 10 relieve the ernbarrass-
ment of the housekeeper, who had invited
more guests than the pantry warranted
became the butler OF The occasion, and out
OF cluster OF a few sympathetic words
squeezed a beverage OF hundred and
twenty-siX gallons Of wine in which was
not one drop OF into1icant, or u would
have left that party Is rnaudlin and drunk
as the great centennial banquet in New
York, two years ago, left senator's, and
governors, and generals, and merchant
princes, the difference between the wine
at the wedding ia Cana and the wine at
the banquet in New York being, that the
Lord made the one and the devil made the
other. We got of our horses and examined
some Of these water Jars at Cana said 20 be
the very ones that held the plain water
that Christ turned into the purple bloom
Of an especial vintage | measured them
and found them eighteen inches from edge
to edge and nineteen inches deep, and de-
clined to accept their identity But we
realized tho inmensity OF a supply of a
hundred end twenty-six gallons Of wine

would have been enough, for it was only
ready been provided, and it is probable
that the housekeeper conld not have guessed
more than one gallon out Of the way. But
a hundred and twenty six. galionsi What
will they do with the surplus, All, it was
just like our Lord Those young people
were about to start in housekeeping and
their means were limited, and that big
supply, whether kept in their pantry or
sold. viii be q mighty help.
You sec there was no st-ychnine or log
wood or nux voTzica in that beverage, and,
as the Lord made it, it would keep. He
makes mountains and seas that keep thou
sands OF years, and certainly be could
make beverage that wonla keep four or
five years. Among the arts and inventions
OF the future hope there may be some one
that can press the juices from the grape
and Sd mingic them and without one drop
of damning alcoholism that IL Will keep
for years. And the more OF it you take
the clearer will be the brain and the
healthier the stomach. And here is a re-
markable fact IN my recent Journey
travelled through Italy and Grecoe and
Egypt and Palestine Gad Syria and Tur-
key, and how many intoxicated people do
you think | saw in all those five great
realms' Not one We must in our Chris
tanned lands have got hold of some kind
of beverage that Christ did not make.
