THE WINE OF THE BIBLE
THE WINE OF CANA AND OF THE
LAST SUPPER WAS FER
MENTED WINE.

Now that prohibition is so much
discussed, an answer to the following
questions would be pertinent, says a
correspondent of America" and he
asks:
Was the wine obtained by the mir
acle of Cana, real fermented wine?
Was the wine used by Christ at the
Last Supper fermented wine, and was
this kind of wine used for the Mass
in the early Church?
TO which Rev. Francis L. Gigot in
America" replies:
The moral sand religious issue in
volved in these questions is now of
grave concern to Christians at large
and to Catholics in particular. The
State of Arizona has recently adopted
among it's fundamental laws one
which prohibits absolutely the use of
any fermented beverage. But such
legislation cannot manifestly be just
and binding i'll conscience if it reflects
on what Christ did at Cana and stands
in direct opposition to what He Or
dained at the Last Supper and ever
since has been carried out by His
Church. Hence, it behooves us to an
swer briefly the questions proposed
AS to the first, the exact kind of
wine which Jesus miraculously sup
piled at Cana can be easily ascertain
cd by taking into account the various
particulars bearing on it which are
found i'll st. Johns narrative, ii. Ill.
The reader is therein told of a
marriage at which the Mother of
Jesus was present and to which Jesus
also was invited, together with His
disciples. The very mention of a
marriage intimates one of those joy
full occasions when the Jews of old
considered the use of real fermented
wine as indispensable to rejoice
mems hearts, H.
1t was indeed such wine that
failed" at this particular marriage,
as is plain from the use here of the
Greek word 'oinos,' which in its lit
eral sense throughout the New Testa-
ment, denotes the fermented juice of
the grape, and also from the fact that
in John II, 10, the master of the feast
regards sucn "oinos" as capable of
bunting the palate of the guests at
the marriage feast When the Mother
of Jesus tells Him: "They have no
wine,'' she has manifestly in mind the
same fermented wine, and delicately
asks Jesus to remedy its present de-
ficiency. When in compliance with
her confident request, Christ bids the
walters fill up six waterpots with
water, one naturally expects that this
is for the purpose of supplying the
want of real fermented wine already
referred to, and this expectation is
confirmed by the new direction Of Je-
sus to the walters that they should
draw out now and carry to the mas
ter of the feast" Jesus knew that
"the water which had become wine"
was wine of the kind now wanted
and fit to stand the test of man
manifestly used to judge of genuine
fermented wine. Having tasted the
water become wine," the master of
the feast has no doubt that this is
"wine" indeed. Therefore, in address
ing the bridegroom, he does not re-
preach him with supplying a different
kind of wine, an unfermented wine
which he would naturally deem in
ferior to the ferenIented wine already
consumed. TN the contrary, to his

The question of Catholic stu
dents attending Sunday vesper
services and Bible study classes
at Beloit College, Beloit, Wis
consin, has not yet been definitely
settled. In answer to the de-
mands of the student council,
Dean Collie has announced that
Catholic students will be excused
for the present session. He said
that next year the faculty prob
ably would make these exercises
compulsory.
If this be done, it will have the
effect of removing from the roster
of the institution the name of
every Catholic student who cher
ishes his religion as the apple of
his eye. There is no reason why
Catholic students should attend
sectarian colleges of this kind.
Catholic colleges are now so
numerous throughout the country
that no student need jeopardize
his faith to obtain a higher edu-
cation.

PREPAREDNESS.

Judging from the daily reports of
murders and thefts, 100000 men are
needed for adequate preparedness
against attacks on life and property.
Abolish the liquor traffic, and we
could use this force to police our
shores. Shortly this could be doubled
from the ranks. of the recuperated
and reclaimed drunkards. Prevent
the death of the 100000 Americans
who die annually from drink, and
they would furnish 10000 naval
recruits. Save our $4,000 innocent
girls who are annually enticed into
lives of shame through the liquor
traffic, and many of them will become
home makers and mothers of future
defenders of our country. n
Under our present liquor regime
the predatory interests rule to such
an extent, principally for their ex-
elusive benefit, that the average work
ing mans wage per year in this coun-
try is only SAT-; and the average
annual drink bill for each family is
$110.

A VALUABLE BROCHURE.

A new and enlarged edition of
'sThe Book Of Red and Yellow"
by the Right Reverend Francis
c. Kelley, President of the Cath
Ollie Church Extension Society of
Chicago, has just come from the
press. It brings together in a
volume of LAT pages not only the
original story Of the outrages
against religion committed by the
Constitutionalists in Mexico since
the present revolt against legiti-
mate authority had its inception,
but also the replies made by the
Right Reverend author to state
ments in regard to political and
religious conditions i'll Mexico by
John Lind, Senior Enriquez, Luis
Cabrera and Jose Castellot. 1t
covers very fully and accurately
the whole question of the recent
trouble in Mexico, laying special
emphasis on the persecution of
the Church, priesthood and re
ligious orders by Carranza, Villa
and their bandit followers. The
author had unusual opportunity
to secure full and reliable infor-
nation on the subject about
which he writes, and he pleads
the cause of the prosecuted Cath
olics of Mexico in a manner that
appeals to the thoughtful reader
who is interested in getting at the
truth of the matter. This new
edition should be in the hands OF
every Catholic at least, In order
that he may have the facts in re-
gard to the Mexican situation as
1T affects the Church.

Make it a practice during Lent
to read for at least quarter of
an hour each day from d spiritual
book. The best that can be
recommended is the New Tesla
ment, which narrates the things
which Jesus did and said during
His earthly career. By meditat-
ing on them we shall not only
familiarize ourselves with the
biography Of the greatest person
age the world has ever known,
but also reap great spiritual bene-
fit from the deeper insight into
"the things that appertain to
God" which this exercise affords.

Good Dry Land Corn

Dry land farmers have by no means
failed to raise roughage for their stock
and there will be quite an abundance of
it in the big section of country to the
north. Some of the farmers will raise a
little corn and as an evidence Of this
fact W. E. Hardy brot in couple Of ears
which came from the E. A. Petrie farm
in the Breckenridge district. This corn
was on display in the New Era show
window. Mr.. Hardy states that the
Pstrie crop will yield from ten to twelve
bushels to the acre. That surely signi-
fies there is no total failure of the corn
crop in that section. The fodder in
many places will be very good and as
whole rouehaee will be raised by most
of the farmers. New Era.

er man visited this section with a
rain at least each "a hours every
day last week, most thoroly laying
the dust.
Upon Sunday would-be church
goers were deferred from attend
ing divine service by the heaviest
downpour in over year-21
inches of precipitation being reg
istered for the 16 hours of rain
fall. e.
Monday dawned bright and
clear. and it was thot that the
storm was over, especially as the
day passed without cloud to
darken the horizon. But about 8
o'clock in the evening one of the
most spectacular electrical storms
in years made its appearance and
for a couple of hours we were
treated to a pyrotechnical display
with thunderous accompaniment
such as has seldom been seen or
heard hereabouts. This was fol-
lowed by downpour that contin-
ued until daybreak and caused
the flooding of bottom lands along
the creeks and rivers, the water
commissioner reporting that the
Purgatoire was higher than at
any time since official records
have been kept.
This seems to have been the
climax of the wet spell, which has
greatly benefited the growing
crops and ranges and it is believed
caused but temporary damage to
the cantaloupe crop.
For a few days the cantaloupes
were "put to the bad" and only a
couple of cars a day were shipped,
but the affected melons have now
been cleared away and the carlot
shipments are rapidly mounting,
until it is estimated that today's
total will be 25 carloads.
Thru the vigilance of the fed
eral inspectors, ably assisted by
growers and distributors, but few
of those "mushmelons" have been
allowed to leave the valley, SO that
there is no reason to fear that the
genuine "Rocky Fords" will suffer
on the Eastern markets. And. as
the few days cessation will allow
for clearance of all cantaloupes
from the markets, there is good
reason to hope that our superior
quality stuff will command a good
price when it reaches its destinn-
ton.
