The Samaritans represent the last remnant of the oldest Jewish sect of earth. There are only two hundred of them left. They speak neither English nor any European language; only Arabic or very poor Hebrew. They believe only in the five books of Moses and consider orthodox Jews schismatics. Four of them have arrived in England, bringing books and manuscripts of priceless value. We described in this paper a number of years ago the scroll which has been used in their synagog for untold centuries. One of these four men is the son of the high priest who showed this famous scroll to the present king of England when he was prince of Wales. Their object in visiting England is to raise, if possible, funds for their tribe, which has been harried and taxed by the Turks so that they can hardly live. The despatch, speaking of their visit, describes them as tall of stature, gaunt, dignified and silent, and they are clad in the robes of their priestly office. This is a true description. They are particularly silent because they can not talk with anybody who does not speak Arabic, and as for talking with one another, long since in their isolation the thoughts and intellectual accumulations (meager indeed) of one must now be known by all.—Christian Advocate.
