fore Our Father who is in heaven
were revealed to Him through His
experience with our earthly ia
Their, Joseph"
A beautiful story is related
when the sister records the bap-
tism of Jesus in the water of the
Jordan.
Here is literature because it is
Bible and because it is eternally
human.
In discussing Jesus on the
mount, the sister records simply:
Il remember as though it we're
yesterday, when He spoke to the
people as they gathered about
Him on the mountain"
Then she tells the beautiful fact
of this accomplishment, that
Jesus was then at the full power
of his manhood"
Here, to my way of thinking, is
writing that brings all readers in
elbow touch with the central
character. That is writing.
And then this statement con-
corning the last days of Jesus
"The horror of those final days
still haunts me, like an evil
dream"
And that is literature and a
natural response to the question,
How would a relative write his
or her memories of Jesus?"
DR.. Gerwig has answered that
question in the form of master
piece because its source is the
masterpiece.

'NICKLE BEER
FIXED AS COAL !
BY BREWERIES
Revived Industry Year Old
Today; Lower U. S.
Tax Sought.

Bring back the nickel schooner"
This is the new objective of the
HooSier brewing industry announced
today in a statement from the In
diana Brewers Association setting
forth what the first year in business
has meant to industry and govern
mental financing.
For it is just one year ago today
that 80 beer became legalized and
the Indiana beer law. with its per-
nit system of tax payments, be-
came effective.
Decrease in the SIS federal tax
levy would make the scent schooner
possible the statement sets out.
Taxes Take so Per Cent
With approximately 60 per cent
of the price of the brewers product
going to federal and state taxes, the
famous nickel schooner of beer is
a long way in the distance the
statement sets out.
IF, however, the federal govern
ment can be induced to reduce its SIS
barrel tax to smaller figure so
that a scent glass can be sold, the
industry believes that increased con-
sumption will enable the govern
ment to obtain more revenue than
it does now"
The first annual report shows that
thirteen of the twenty-five licensed
breWerieS in the state are in opera
ton; three more expect to get under
way by May l, and another by
Aug. l.

Capacity is 2.65O,0OO barrels an
nually. -Four of the plants were
newly built and thirteen rebuilt and
enlarged. The breweries operate a
fleet of 225 motor trucks and are

Those employed directly in the
breweries numbered 100 for April,
as compared with 26O in April of
last year. Average weekly pay roll

BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

J HAVE before me a modern
l. book which deals with those
moments in the life of Jesus which
the world observed last week.
The name of the book is Jesus:
A Sisters Memories" as written
by DR.. George William Gerwig
and published by the Roycrofters
as a companion volume to Ebert
Hubbard's Man of Sorrows"
DR.. Gerwig has had the idea
for years of showing how those
who lived under the same roof
when Jesus was a boy would write
of Him from a brother or sis
ter viewpoint.
So this author has written
Jesus: A Sisters Memories" as
he suppoSes "the eldest sister of
Jesus" would write her impress
SionS.
The right to do this is protect
ed, according to the author, in
Matthew 1856 And his sisters,
are they not with us?"
Again in John 21:25, 20:3O-
There are many other things
that Jesus did which are not re-
corded"
DR.. GerWig contends in his
foreword that doubtless these all
but unknown sisters of Jesus grew
up in the carpenters family at
Nazareth. They would hear direct
from their mother the marvellous
story of the Babe in the Manger,
of the three and holy men who
came from the east bearing gifts,
of the flight into Egypt, of all
this mothers love and hope for
her wondrouS son."
And so, DR.. Gerwig creates in
a human way, what "this sister,
Miriam, reveals" concerning the
sacred memories Of her brother.
The reader Immediately en-
counters this statement at the be-
ginning of the narrative-"Al-
though I am the eldest sister of
Jesus, I have little hope of tell
ing in words what He was like,
When Jesus himself was so little
understood"
Then the eldest sister Of Jesus
describes Him when very young as
different from other children. -
She maintains that He grew tall
for his age and that He was
much taller than two of His other
brothers.
She recalls that His hair had
a CLINT of gold" and that His eyes
resembled his mothers because
they had "a CLEAN in them"
EVEN this sister of Jesus ad-
IL mits that she had a child's
curiosity concerning her remark
able brother. She often asked
her mother concerning His strange
birth.
She relates that her mother
told her at various times "the
story of the birth of Jesus"
Then the Wondrous story was
told and retOld as Miriam grew,
understood and observed her
brother.
She relates the instances when
Jesus proved HIS great learning
and understanding when a very
young boy before men of great
education Of that day.
The sister never loses track of
the influences that the mother
had on Jesus. She records the
first real trouble" that came into
their home. That was illness of
their father, Joseph, who sick
ened and suddenly died"
She tells what Jesus did at that
time-"Jesus went, for hours, to
His seat in the lea Of the rock
on the hilltop"
And then this marvelously hui
man observed: 1T was years be-

come its president until his res
ignation in 1918.
At his own desire he was given
a permanent residence at Mount
st. Mary, where he preferred to
teach. His associations and con-
facts in Maryland gave him an
unusual insight into the general
conditions of the church in
America. 1t was because of this
and because of his profound
learning and sanity character
that he was chosen first bishop
of the new Diocese of Vincennes.
At the time of his conservation,
the new bishop had but two
regular priests. Therefore, he re-
solved early to go back to his
native France for more help. He
needed financial assistance, yes,
but mainly, he wanted more
priests for his growing diocese.
He therefore appointed Father
Lalumiere as executor and deed
ing him all the church property,
he sailed for France Aug. 8, 1885.
He visited Rome on that trip and
laid before the Sacred Congrega-
ton general report of the
Church in the United States, of
which he could so we'll speak.
So successful was his mission
in France that on May 80, 1886,
when he was ready to depart for
his diocese in America he brought
with him some twenty-five mis-
Sionaries, most of whom were
destined to play an important
part in the development of the
new diocese.
Among the young priests he
brought with him were M. Celes-
tin de la Hailandiere and M.
Maurice de st. Palais, both of
whom we're later to become
bishops Of Vincennes. Other
priests that were later to figure in
history were: M. Comte du Merle,
M. Julian Benoit, M. Anthony
Parrett, M. Louis Neyron, M. John
Corbe, M. Bernard Schaeffer, M.
Louis Mueller, NJ John Vabret, M.
StaniSlaus ButeuX, M. Maurice
Berrel, M. Vincent Bacquelin, M.
Michael Shave and M. Benjamin
Petit. Francis A. BessonieS, who
came later to the Diocese, was left
by the bishop at st. Sulpice,
France, to complete his studies.
THUS with patience, piety and
Il many privations did the
sanity Brute try to spread the
gospel in his fast growing terri
tory of Indiana and Illinois. The
first priests and seminarians he
brought with him we're not
enough. On Jan. 7, 1887, he wrote
to the Leopoldine Society in
Austria for financial assistance.
In his letter he enumerated the
meager number of priests in his
diocese-fourteen in all, including
himself, as follows:
Il. In FIT. Wayne, Father Muel-
Ter, who has most of the Germans
in his mission.
%. In Chicago, Father Schaefer,
who likewise very laudably directs
the Germans.
80. At the same place, Father st.
Cyr, whose guidance of the French
and Americans is also very praise
worthy.

II. At Kelso, Father Ferneding

"12. At Vincennes resides Father
de la Hailandiere as pastor of the
Cathedral of st. Francis Xavier.
He makes his home with me. Next
to our house is the new Seminary
in which there are three sub
deacons and two deacons."
In the same letter the Bishop
continues: There is but one
large church in the diocese and
this is here at Vincennes; the
other twelve are built mostly of
wood and are very small We
are very moderate in our daily
food. Like ordinary people we
drink water at our MONDAY meal,
and tea or coffee for supper;
never wine or alcoholic beverages.
"a prominent gentleman, who
believed that we as Frenchmen
were in need of wine, presented us
with a barrelful; but I had it sold
and the money laid by, as contri-
buttons from our mission friends
always are appreciated"
Bishop Brutes episcopal labors
increased along with the burden
of oncoming years. The Indian
mission, mostly PotaWatomies,
needed special care and the
meager fund of 5000 year finally
allowed him by the Government
for that purpose was insufficient.
On June 80, 1888, the Bishop.
left for an extensive visitation
tour of his diocese. After visit
ing his Illinois jurisdiction he
came back into Indiana, visiting
st. Francisville, thence south to
Madison, Lawrenceburg, New AL
SAGE, Dover.
THEN again north to Shelby
l. vile, one of Father Bacque-
Inns stations where he admins
tered confirmation to twelve per-
sons. From there he came to
indianapolis by stage. The stage
was so crowded, he had to share
the drivers seat. This was the
bishops first visit to the future
metropolis and capital of Indiana.
He continued to Terre Haute
and st. Mary-o f-the-W Woods, then
known as Thrall's Station. Thence
on to Jasper county among the
Germans.
BY this time Chicago had be-
come the largest city in the do
cese. 1t had 1000 or 5000 in
habitants and only one priest,
Father O'Meara, to serve them.
The closing period of his adj
ministration was one of mingled
trials and consolation-trials, be-
cause of his inability to ade-
quately care for the spiritual
needs of his widely scattered
flock; and the consolation that
the seed of the Gospel of Christ
was bearing good fruit.
On May 90, 1889, he told those
about him that his health was
failing. On June 81, he was given
the last rites of the church and
on June 26, he passed to his
eternal reward. His remains were
buried in the old Cathedral at
Vincennes.
