Kelley so deeply sympathizes with the ne

It was among these Jews in Egypt that
the fanatical monk was evolved: and these
unsociable fanatics withdrew into the desert,

To make himself safe from the women one

w HEN the M0nastlc system of the
Christian sect first came into existence,
it resembled the monasticsm of older reli-
gions.
That is, those few Believers who felt duty
bound to devote their whole lives to solitude,
communion, and idle contemplation of
the Hereafter, went off into the desert or into
the forest, or into some cavern to spend their
time IN religious thought and exercise.
These fanatics, like the Hindoo falzirs, ran
from one extreme to another. notifying the
flesh, and committing outrages upon Nature,
in the crazy conviction that Piety consisted in
Misery.
The Buddhist monk will let his finger nails
grow until they are yard long, and then ask
sane Hindoos to give him the food which they
have made In the sweat of the face.
This Buddhist monk will squat in the same
place by the road, for years on a stretch, and
thus acquire prodigous merit among the poor
dupes of superstition.
