Me is said id have

    been a man of Considerable property , and to have been placed in confinement by his friends , as a" necessary measure of security . His disciples regard him as the victim of ungodly persecution . Under George Turner , S . Goinper tz , the vender of the pamphlets , is the minister of the Sottthcottian Church .

    He is a converted Jew , who has acknowledged the new religion about five years . He preaches in an assembly-room , in Brewer Street , Golden Square , to an audtience of several hundred people .

    Jews : to drive the infernal hiefm * chV Jews ; to drive the infernal hiefarchy back to their dark abodes ; and to realize the predicted office and character Of a Comforter to the tru& believers . His kingdom is to be set m > in fifteen years from this time . All

    that will not acknowledge him are tcfr be removed by death . His palace is to be btiilt of pure gold , and adorned with all sorts of precious stones ; and he is to have quite an armv of singers , no less Oo says George Turner ) than

    seventy thousand musical men and seventy thousand singing women . Evety man is to have a wife and land and house and buildings and tools and furniture } the earth ig to bring forth abundance ; and as the people multiply , the seas and lakes are to be turned into dry land . There is to be plenty of Wine , but fcio Spirituous liduofs .

    Shiloh is to have banks ( literally so ) in every city , tdWn atid village , and from these the believers ai ' e to be supplied With money of a peculiar coinage ; . His garden , full of delights , is to be open to all the believers , who are to be regaled in it with gratuitous concerts from the before-numbered

    choristers and from the angels who are to be in attendance there . Horses fttid carriages in abundance ate also to await the pleasure of the believers . But the reader will have had enough of the revelations of George Turner . It is humbling to us , as a people , to see that a madman is able to obtain

    the ascendancy over the minds of hundreds and thousands of persons , otherwise rational and well-disposed . Ifc not the doctrine that discards or disparages the use of reason in religion , thfe source of these Inf&ttiations ?
