tianity in Palestine is the faua-
Gcism and bigotry OF certain
Christian sects. So many differ
ent kinds of sects have produced
rivalries, jealousies, hatred, dis
putes, acrimony and often vio-
lence. The Scribes and Phari
sees have left a numerous proge-
ny. Certain it is that there is
nothing in their lives aud behav
ior calculated to popularize
their Christianity. The rival
sects have degenerated into mere
factions and their partisan zeal
produces frequent clashes. The

Greeks and Americans. Disput-

may occur. If so, il is like q
