" "Love peace, pursue peace, love your fel- low men and bring them near to the law. " "The pious of all nations of the world will inherit eternal bliss. " ^ayingH like these, which might be enu- merated by the hour, certainly indicate that the Pharisean system was by no means mere ceremonialism. With the fall of Jerusalem the Sadducees went under. As a class or sect no trace is left of them after the destruction of the Tem- ple.
