Bishop’« Pot of Oil
Stilled the Tempest
The familiar Baying, “oil on trou­
bled waters," appears to have had ita
origin In an Incident related In Bede's
Ecclesiastical History, written In Lat­
in more than 1,200 years ago.
A priest called Utta was sent te
fetch Eanflede, King Edwin’s daugh­
ter, who was to be married to King
Oswlna. He was to go by land, but
return by water. Before his depart­
ure, Utta visited Bishop Agan, who
was permitted to work miracles, and
besonght his prayers for a prosperous
Journey. The bishop blessed him and
predicting for his return a great tem­
pest, gave him a pot of oil, saying, “Re­
member that you cast Into the sea this
pot o f oil that I give you, and anon,
the winds being laid comfortable, fair
weather shall ensue on the sea, which
shall send you again with as pleasant
a passage aa you have wished.”
According to Bede, the storm arose
aa predicted and was quieted as if by
magic when Utta cast the oil into the
sea.—Detroit News.
