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-,

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.
