JORDAN WATER TS AMERICA. Will Be VmM for llaptlsinal Purposes in Many Churches. New York, Dec. 21. A number of barrels of water from the river In the Holy Land arrived here today on the Campania. The water will be distributed throughout the states for baptismal use in churches. Extra ordinary precautions were taken to insure absolutely purity and cleanli ness by boiling the water before It was put In the casks on the very spot where St. John Is said to have baptized Christ. Colonel Clifford Nadaud, who head ed the expedition, encountered great difficulty In bringing the water, as there were no casks to be had in Pal-, estine, so he had t have them made in Asia Minor. Then he had to make hlscwn wagons and devise his own methods of purification In the wil derness. The water will be drunk as wen as used for baptismal purposes, and 'if American churches support the enterprise other consignments will it made. Bow's This? .
