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.
