are some people known a6 Trap ge

eiders, and do not even speak to pi
each other except to convey the C
cheerful information, "Remem- |?

In the Plain of Rephaim, near
Jerusalem, is the "German Col
ony of the Temple," a sect found ed
upon the principle that the w
mission of Christianity is to em
body the kingdom of God on w
earth, believing that really jc
Christian social life is impossible, w
on the basis of the current ideas y:
of the Trinity, the Divinity of q
Christ, etc. Their religious and p
social conduct is derived from ,j
the Old Tesiimeut prophecies. tj
Their original purpose was to
build up in the Land of Promise
an ideal Christian community, p
and from it to begin the regeuer- tj
ation of the church and the so- a]
cial life of Europe. There are
branches of the "Temple" at 8]
Haifa and Jaffa, and they are tl
making money right along. If tl
Tepute is worthy of credit, their T
religious zeal lias not kept up e;
with their love of money. cl
Down at Marsaba, near the si
Dead Sea, are some sixty lazy s
monks known as Anchorites, o
They occupy the convent of Mar- tl
saba and, amid the gloom 01 the 1
wilderness, live on vegetables 81
and a clear conscience. No wo- T
man is allowed to enter the con- a
vent. They are supported by n
donations and spend their time u
in feeding the wild birds of the r
country. The Monastery of Mar- b
saba is also used as a religious
penitentiary lor refractory priests
of the Greek church. In the
same neighborhood are many 0
monks who bye in caves in the 1
hillsides, far removed from the 1
temptations of the world. They {
live on roots, herbs and solitude. '
There are hundreds of these reli- t
gious cranks who greatly discre- ^
dit the religion which they pro- *

less, aduui tmriy-mne on meir j
naked backs would probably |
cause them to get out and let (
their lights sliii e before men.
There is also a branch of the l
Seventh Day Adventiets here, t
who have a water cure establishment.
They preach reform in t
food, in dress and in the constant H
fitting of the body for its final J
Hesurrection. They live on char- ?
oal, crackers and nut butter. !
Besides the cranks above enum- ]
erated, there are others "too te- 1
dious to mention."

xuny ia jraiescine is tne lana3iBm
and bigotry of certain
hristian sects. So many differit
kinds of sects have produced
valries, jealousies, hatred, disites,
acrimony and often yio- *
nee. The Scribes and Phari
es have left a numerous progef.
Certain it is that there i9
jibing in their lives aud behav
r calculated to popularize
ieir Christianity. The rival
icts have degenerated into mere
ctioDs and their partisan zeal
roducas frequent clashes. The
hnrch of the Nativity at Beth
hem belongs to the Latins,
reeks and Americans. Disputi
over the exact line of division
itween them sometimes arise;
hen the different sects w< rship
the same time one may happen
cross the line on the other's ter
fory, or some little trespass
ay occur. If so, it is like a
atch to a keg of powder. A
g fit:lit ensues and all hands
ke part. In comparison with
le of these religious fights, an
fro-American cake walk or
turch festival is a tame affair,
hose belligerent brethern don't
jsitate to fight right over the

Only a few years back a man

in Jerusalem belongs to

i which the various sects wortrp.
Almost eve y year it is

urkish soldier on duty had an

collisions. This fight
barted because the Catholics
wept some trash off their steps
