AN IMPUDENT Lapp ~,
cation felt m the nei
lages contiguous, by the appoaranX granedatethste svenil:
soi-disant " prophet." He professes to tektr. Coachman, a
" miraculous power of healing" the.. most eneZrWed with a
disease, and even such physical ailments that aril'ot classes of
fled in the nomenclature of the faculty; he haiingfor 1-
i
a
period of thirteen years (as he states) prayed without in-
termissionesi eratum, Be
has deigned to visit this locality, leaving for a time his
at the ardent solicitation of certain
for the attainment of such a d'd
native county, Essex,
aged families in the neighbourhood. He• makes no formal
charge, but gives his patients the strongest intimation
that he cannot subsist without some "pecuniary
assistance," in the performance of
his "great mission."
He is about 70 years of age, stands about five feet
eight inches high, is extremely ignorant, especially.
of the Scriptures, and though he meets with such
unprecedented success, he is by no means mentally calcu-
lated for an impostor. The number of visitors he re-
ceives of both sexes, of all ages, and of every grade
of society, for physical aid, and the extermination of
constitutional disease, is a fact incredible, and an anomally
of the 19th century. He arrogates (he says) to him-
self "no power," but in the performance of his
cases 'trusts alone to the efficacy of prayer and the
faith of his patients. This impostor is making a rich
harvest out of the hard earnings of the poorer classes, and
duping thousands of weak-minded and credulous indivi-
duals who suffer their assent to precede their reason ; and it
is devoutly to be wished that some influential party would
speedily adopt means to rid the neighbourhood of so dele-
terious a nuisance, for it is needless to add that all who visit
him are under the impression of their convalescence, while
they eventually find themselves relapsed and duped of their
money. We have heard that "the prophet" has found be-
lievers, not only amongst the poor and ignorant, but amongst
persons whose position in society and education might have
been expected to fortify them againft suck an assault upon
their credulity.. Gloucester Jourual.
