Temple Society, a body of German Christians who wait for the second coming of Christ. They separated from the church in Württemberg and formed a separate sect; and many of them settled in Palestine in 1868, where they now have colonies at Haifa (q.v.), Jaffa, Sarona, and near Jerusalem, distinguished for industry, enterprise, and success. There may be about 5000 in all of the community, of whom about 1300 are in Palestine.
