AmUI the Iktljel of religions in the. Holy Land, and amid the fan aticism and bigotry of the divers sects,, there is in Jerusalem a small colony of rare Christians who are living 4the simple life." It is a singular fact, but true, neverthe less, that they have won the re spect of the icopIe of all creeds and of all nationalties. The lives ami Jaily walk of these people have contributed more than any other agency in Palestine towards the removal of Moslem prejudice against Christianity. A iople who can do that have "a religion that U wort.v of study. In 1880, several members of Ful lerton Avenue Presbyterian church Cnicago, served their connection with tliat church ami sought anew field in which to put in practice an ideal form of religion. At the head of the movement was Horatio SpafTorJ, Ksq., a prominent Chica go lawyer. Mr. Siwtflbrd and four teen other meniJers arnvcu in Jerusalem in September, 1881 This was the genesis of the Amer ican Colony" r in the Holy City They live a few hundred yards north of the Damascus gate, and their name is no index as to who they are or what they are. They are by no means all Americans, vet those of the colony who are of other nations cieak the Knglisl tongue and are proud of the Amer ican name. In the American colony" are ieople frdm Canada, Kngland, Scotland, (Jermany, Nor- ;v:iy, Sweeden, Denmark, India, Koumania and Palestine. Those of other nationalities were attract ed to the colony by its peculiar social and reliirious life. The "American Colony" is composcc of alxut one hundred and twenty tieople men women and children. They reside without the walls of .Jerusalem ami live as one large family. They occu py a large stone building, together with some small er ones in the same vicinity, situ ated near the Tombs of the Kinirs." The main building is spacious one and constructed in Oriental style, with interior court. Here thev live as real brothers and sisters and appear to love each other lust as much as if they were all blood relations. They own evervthintr in common. Their reliirious life is based on the fund amental nrincinles of the early church, ami thev believe in the direct application f the Savior's teachings to social and business Hfe r.nd not merely to personal conduct. In all that they possess there is a community of interest, and every member of the colony owns an undivided share of the whole property. The infant qwns and shares eoually with the adult. The hardest worker accumulates no more than the helpless Imbe. Hut the accumulation of property has no olace in their system of of social ethics. In fact, they care absolutely nothing for property beyond the necessities and conven iences of life. Iheir form of gov ernment is that of the family, ami not tint of an organized society Thev are supported by their own labors ami receive no assistance from any c'lurch, order or society They have various industries from which they get a livelihood. Their nrinciual source r. revenue is a store near the J a if a gate, in whicn the3' keep for sale untipie articles, novelties made of olive wood, coral mother of pearl, fancy trinkets. Oriental shawls, etc. They have a photographic department whicl produces annually alout ir,0oo photograplis of sacred places and scenes and i,inn lantern slides, all ofvhich are sold at the Colony store to tourists or on orders froi. American firms. They preiare for visitors many kinds of flower , . cams, iost cams, cam aiouins and an endless variety of souvenirs of the Holy .Land. They hare car penter, tin. shoe ami blacksmith shops, do tailoring, silver and gold electroplating, literary and illustr." ting work for news,a!ien, maga zines and other publicatiohs O.i subjects connected wit! Palestine. Some are engaged in teaching. lentistry. wood and stone carving, ivery business, farming, dairy. baker3 etc. The ladies of thy Colony are very industrious ant artistic and. fancy needlework, ress making, fruit canning, cake baking, and also manufacture jams and preserves of many fruits of the country. The women make, bv hand-weaving looms ami spinn ing wheels, underwear,hosiery,car- pets ami much of the c oliitng worn b the socict3 Kac eiart- ment of labor is assigned to and conducted bj- certain menders of the colony, ami a ierfect system maintained. There are no rones, no kin&s and no queens. but every body works. Am. every ones work seems to ue a aboroflove. Under their S3stem, avarice, covetousncss ami love of money can find no gratihcation are consequently perished out. Their feature of socialism is not simplv a business arrangement. ut is a iNtrt of their religion, ji not a mere incident oi mnr ife. but an incentive to a more rfect Christian life. It isclaiineti hat such a life is modeled after hat of the primitive church (Acts 11:441. It ls certainly a great check uion selfishness, and seii- bhuess is the. parent of about nine-tenllis of the sins of this world. Any form of religious or social life, therefore, which tends to crucify selfishness, and and the love of the world, must be based on some Chris tain principles. For the great Master, who neer owned tat foot of land or any per sonal proiierty, fully exposed the sin of greed and the deceitfulness of riches andwhat hindrances they are to 'the perfect Christain life. The American Colony" is in- teres ted chiefly on account of its religion. The adult members of the Colony were at one time either Methodists, Haptists, Presbyteri ans, Lptscopalians, Lutherans, uunkards, iireek Uhristians, or Jews. Hut all have given up their former creels and have - united upon the principles and practice of what might be termed Christian Socialism. Hut they do not accept that term as proiicrly characters ing their form of reliirion. In the minds of many there is great prej udice against every form of Social ism, and these people do not care to be so classed when they arc not Socialists as we understand the term. The fundamental principle and the one uniform rule of their social and religious life is, "Love (i.od with all thy heart, and thy neighlwr as thyself." That em braces their entire creed and they have no written rules or regula tions, no discipline, no church and no church government. They say that there is no need for law when there is no transgression. And their way of life having removed the pri ?ipal temptation to sin, there is no need of restraining rules. Their religious belief is based upon the Savior's answer to the lawyer's question, "What is the great commandment in the law?" (Matt. xxii:35-39). In the very simplest way inxssible they they seek to fulfill in their daily lives the two great commandments, upon which they hang all the law and the prophets. In these two commandments, they declare, is embodied the essence of Christian ity. Every member of this little colony is a most sincere and devout Christian. If we may judge by their daily life and godly conver sation, their reliirion is the genu ine articlc.- They conduct religious services every morning in a large drawing room in the main building, and on the Sabbath services are oien to the public. They have no regular preachers ami there is no sermon, but some member reads a chapter in the Hible and any one is privi leged to make such observations as he or she may deem proier. The service is a tree and lniormai in terchange of ideas, and the ladies loin rreeiy in tnc service, ine 1 l rm - music both instrumental and vocal, is very line and makes the services quite attractive. The natives often attend the Sunday meetings. Hut the colony does not attempt to do missionary work, except in so far as their Christian lives may intlu ence others to become Christian. They do not thrust their views upon any one. and ask no one to embrace their form of religion. m I hey consider example more iowerful than precept. In this thev are entirely correct, lor the . .. religiously clouded mind of an Oriental can never appreciate the lieauty except in concrete form The Colony gives siecial heed to tho second great commandment. Love thy neighbor as thyself." Thev accept Christ s definition of a "neigh Ur," and like the good Samaritan, "their brotherly love knows no such thing as racial or religious prejudice. Their, religion manifests itself in deeds and not in words only. The blind beggars who line the highways about Jeru salem, ami the unfortunate lepers who are civilly- and socially dead, lave always a friend in the Amer ican Colony. The Arab, the Turk the Jew or the fanatical Christian never asks in vain a favor of these eople. The children of the poor are taugni without money ami without price and, like the poor widow, they would give their last mite for the furtherance of Chris- ianity or the betterment of their fellowman Their chanty has been tested. At great personal sacrifice they fed, clothed and housed for some time a remnant of the old tribe of Gad who returned to Jerusalem, and did so until the Gadites could get along themselves. At all times they are ready' to di vide with and help the poor and needy. . The peculiar life of the " Ameri can Colony" is really Utopian. Plato never dreamed of any tiling more ideal and beautiful. It is indeed the simple life; it is a Chris tian life; and certainly it is the happy life. Avarice, ambition and envy "are unknown in the colony. Many prominent Socialists have visited the colony and gone away satisfied that these people had fallen uimhi the correct method of living. Others have 'joined them found it not to their taste and left Whether or not such a life is prac ticable has provoked much discus sion. To the dollar loving Ameri can, with his restless energy and love of fain, it seems impracticable and visonary. The most of us are unwilling to give up what we pos sess or surrender our privilege to accumulate. There's the rub! ; Christian Socialisn, in ray opin ion, is practicable in a very limit ed extent not beyond the form of family life. Only a few choice spirits can Ijvc' the life. The American Colony" has given a practical demonstration that such a life can be successful to a limited extent While visiting Jerusalem in 1D01 I stopped with the American Col ony', attracted there bytheir name. I stopied with them again on this trip. I was greatly interested in their way of living and impressed with the beauty of their Christian lives. Hut it is almost" im possible for any one to live in Jerusalem withoui enemies or to escape ca lamity. Jesus Christ could not do so. Contention, strife and acri mony are in the very air. The American Colony and the American Consul have' had a row of King standing known as "the warof the graveyard." Mr. Spaf ford, the founder of the Colony, and some others of the society, died some years ago and were bur ied on the southwest of Zion. The American Consul, who is a preacher, in excavating to locate the home of John the Evangelist, to whom the mother of Christ was taken' after the Crucifixion and where she died, dug up and muti lated the bodies .of tho deceased Their living relatives promptly asked our government for the re moval of the Consul, and he, to sustain himself, made counter charges against the Colony before the State department. His charg es were based uj)on the affidavit of a lying Arab who has since con fessed that his statements were lies. Alexander Hume Ford, contributor to Apple ton's Magazine, went to Jerusalem, made a thorough i n v e s t i gation and proved by sworn testi mony that the chargas were false . a ww . t in every particular, (tlis article was in Appleton's forsjast Decem ber.) Many members of the Colony have friends and relatives in America some of them have lived in my State and have rela tive there and these American friends and relatives have watched with interest the career of the little colony in the Holy City and have been pained at the false reports which have crossed the Mediterra nean and the Atlantic. Having been a guest of the Colony on .two occasions, with every opportunity to observe and study them, I glad- Iv bear witness to the purity of their lives and to the Christian ex ample which they, seLbef ore apon pic who are sadly in need of such an example. Their manner of liv ing may look a little strange to an American, but as soon as we enter their home we learn that they are just like any other people. When we see their principles and beliefs in practice, our prejudices soon entirely disappear. In their home life and social intercourse they are most agreeable, and friend ship is at once created when we come in contact with them, They are especially gracious and kind towards Americans. Their long residence has enabled them to learn and speak the native language fluently. Through them one can get a better insight to the land, its ieople ami their customs. They know the Hible almost by- heart All of them are well versed in it hut Mr. Jacob Elia.hu is al most equal to a Hible encycloie- dia. He is a son of a Spanish Jew, but was lorn in Jerusalem and is a devout Christian. To him and other members of the Amer ican Colony, we are much indebted for information which we could not have obtained otherwise. The Hible is an intirely di fife rent lxxk when read in the Holy Land. In Palestine customs never change. The life of Abraham is the life of the country today. It has lxen truly said that Palestine is the fifth gosiel. It keeis alive the customs and manners alluded to in the Scriptures, and the daily life, of the people is a living commentary . rrM i ' r on the nioie. ine ugures oi sieech in it beome intelligible in the light of the people, s habits and manner of living. Much of the ljoetry of David, the proverbs of Solomon, and the parables of Jesus are made plainer. While the language of the country has chanced, many of the expressions of the people have been kept alive. Much of the very language of Christ is the language of the people today, and many of the identical expressions used D.v mm are ii daily use now. The customs, manners and expressions of the natives confirm the Scriptures. WhenTIhc natives meet each other, or meet one who speaks their ton gue,ithe usual salution is "Peace le unto you." With these samo words ChrtsfSiluted his disciples after the resurrection (John xx:19). His last words on the cross were, "It is finished" (John xix:30. That very expression is in daily use at the present time. Wrhen you hire a guide, interpreter or dragoman he notifies you that he wants his money by saying, "It is finished," meaning that his services have been performed and he wants . his money. Numberless instances of the kind might be given, and a volume could be easily written on the life, habits and manners of Palestine's present population. But applying the language of the 'Holy Land to this correspon dence, if I may le permitted to do so, I will say IT is FINISH tip. The Lilesvltle Graded School BUI.
