Text Appearing Before Image:
ere slain byIshmael. Jer. 41 : 3, 5. After the Cap-tivity, Shechem became the centre ofSamaritan worship. See Samaria. N. T. references to this city are few.Jesus visited the region, preached to awoman at Jacobs well, and many fromSychar believed on him. John 4 : 5, 39-42. Whether Sychar occupied preciselythe same site as ancient Shechem hasbeen a question in dispute amongscholars. Stephen refers to the sepul-chres of the patriarchs a,t Sychem. Acts7:16. During the Christian periodNeapolis became the seat of a bishop.Justin Martyr was born there. TheCrusaders took it after the conquest ofJerusalem; Baldwin II. held a greatdiet there, A. d. 1120. Present Appearance.—Modern travel-lers bear uniform testimony to the beautyof the scenery of Nablus. Dr. Robinsoncalls it a scene of luxuriant and almostunparalleled verdure.

Text Appearing After Image:
SHE SHE is abundantly supplied with water;vegetation is luxuriant; there are olivetrees and orange groves and palm trees. The streets of the town are cleaner,and its houses as a rule better, than thoseof Jerusalem, being high, built of stone,and crowned with domes. The sidestreets are often like low cellars, quitedark, vaulted, and narrow, and so lowthat the passengers can scarcely standupright, except in the centre of them.The town is a considerable centre oftrade and manufactures. Cotton becamethe staple of the place a few years ago,and a cotton-mill was erected. There isalso a trade in wool, and there are ascore of manufactories of soap, which ismade from olive oil. The bazaar exhibitsa great variety of wares. The inhabitants are chiefly Mussul-mans. Tristram estimated the popula-tion at 9000, of whom about 650 wereChristians, 200 Samaritans, and a fewJews. There is a Protestant school, sup-ported by the English Church MissionarySociety. Baedeker estimates the popu-lation at 13,000
