Transcribed from the clipping

On the American Colony in Jerusalem, founded 1881 by a Chicago couple, and the earlier Christian Adventist colony at Jaffa in 1866.

Context added by this archive

Uses "colonist" and "colony" of American Christian settlers, not of the Zionist project. Excluded from the vocabulary count for that reason.
