TAr¥A, April 10, 1870, Some persons have read with incredulity, others ‘With a contemptuous smile, the articles occasionally Sppearing, during the years 1866 and 1868, about the American colony at Jaifa, or, a8 It has been styled by an English journal, “the extraordinary ewmigra- tion which, reversing the ordinary flow of the tide from Kast to West, has come trom “down East” in the stute of Maine to down east in Palestine.’ ‘fo enter fully into the details of this lamentable enterprise would require a volume; but for a clear understanding of the present state of aifairs,and the causes of its utter failure, it will be sufficient to give @ brief sketch of tue life and character of G. J. Adams, the leader or “president of the Churen of the Messian, and reviver of the faith once deily- ered to the saints,” the rise of the colony and its odjecis. J. Adams, allas Rev. G. J. Adams, alias Rev. G. J. 'W. Adams, alias Dr. G. J. W. Adaims, was born in Liv- erpool, of Jewish parentage, At an early age he was apprenticed to @ shoemaker. When he was seven- teen or eighteen years old he emigra‘ed to America And obtained employment in a tallor’s establish- ment at New York and afterwards in New Jersey. During this period he became noted as an exempla- Ty, pious Methodist class leader, and is satd to have shone with great brilliancy at love feasts and prayer meetings. He viten alluded in his discourses, addressed to the members of the Church of the Messiah, to these early experieuces, and relaved spicy avecdotes, de- plcting the emotion occasionally exhibited at Metho- dist meetings. ‘The following story is given in his own words:— An old jady, remarkable for her piety and excita- bility, auring’a love feast at which | Wwas preset, arose, aud eaciaimed in sarill tones, “Uh, Lord | oh, Lord! how good 1 ieei! Ua! Pin 80 happy! oh! Lb fee} a8 Uf greasy dishwater Was running right duwa my back! Uh, Lora! ‘The good vid deacon at the other end of the house, hail psivep, responded in deep devotional tones, “ob*Lord | mubke us all feel as WU greasy dish water Was a ruaning down our baeks. Praise the Lo: gah “Amen,” suicuuly echoed tue congrega- on. Unfortunately Adams had discovered a fondness. for stroug drink and the theatre, whicn soon ac quired such power over nim that he yielded to their iadueuce and became a strolling player, to tae great scandal of his{mends. An lotervai elapses, aud he ds oext leard of as a Mormon elder; later he reap- pears on the stage and becomes popularly known asthe “Playing Preacher.’ This epithet he earned by his practice of announcing at the end of a play that he would preach a sermon, giving out the text, the following Sunday, at such a hall or chapel, nam- img the place. At the conclusion of his dis- course he wonld call the attention of his audience to the fact that he would play Richard JIL or William Tell or some otner character at the theatre, and request their attendance. By this de- vice he drew crowds of a certain class to hear nim. At this period of his career or a Little earlier he mar- Tied Mrs, L. J. L. Adams, who often assisted him at the theatre. The circumstances attending their marriage are obscure. There were ramors afloat, a year or two: ago, that Adams, after his marriage, had “to flee from a certain pistol,” or, in other words, Ke had seduced Mrs. Adams, whose former husband is, it 18 alleged, still living, as well as Mr, Adams’ former wife. Thongn Mr. and Mrs. Adams were legally married they were probably mutually deceived, the one declaring himself a widower, ani the other, Mrs. Adams, stating she was a widow. Finding his avo- cation as an actor “avout played out,” and his habits unfitting him for any respectable situation, ia 1861, as a iast resort, he developed hia scheme of the Church of the Messiah, and began going from village to village preaching on “Prophecy,” and eventually reached Maine, where, under the guid- ance of “divine revelations,” he preached “the doctrines once delivered to the saints,’ and un- folded his project for “the gathering to Palestine” and “dispensation of the fulness of times.” THE NEW OREFD. Among other doctrines he advocated the entire sufficiency of baptism by immersion to wash away ail sin, declaring the reign of Christ upon earth was at hand, that Palestine would soon be restored to her pristine fertility, that the Ameri- can people were the “strangers that were to come from afar, as foretoid tn Scripture, and baild the waste places of the Holy Land, aad tuferitail the wonderful blessings connected with the restoration of that country.” ‘THE MISSION. Amid much opposition he gathered, dating four years’ ministry, several ehurehes, as they were called, over Whom be ordained bishops and elders to preside, ‘To be certain that the restoration of che Holy Laud had really begun it was decided by the Members of the Church of the Messiah to send Adams and Abraham MeKeuzle, of Jonesport, Me., @ church member, following the example of Joshua of old, to spy out the land, and, returning, report whether the mouutatus of Judea really dropped oll and wine, &c. Adams and his companions airived during the cholera seascu, and were quarantined forty days at Belrut; ius over, they proceeded to Jerusalem and spent a few weeks In that city, Adams, drunk nearly all the time, was in raptures about the country, the climate, the people and especially the fertility of the soil. Writing to tle Sword of Truth ana Har- binger of Peace, asmall paper edited and published by him and McKenzie, the organ of the Charch, he culls every squalid and filthy collection of huts “a charming and @ most delighituily situated village.” THE PROMISED LAND, On their return Adams declared bofore an assembly of his followers that “words were tn- capable of describmg what his eyes had acen.” “Why, to let alone other by oy the air was #o clear thas the very stars jarge as cart ap) “wheeis!

HOW THE PROPHET LIVED. An extract irom an American paper published in July, 1967, will describe how Adams was tien cou- dacting himself, Lt says:— Last Thuraday wedk he was seen lying in the streets of Jade in state Of the inost degrading, beastly drunken- hess, After having slept bimseil sober be returned to bia house, blasphemitag hot and defying by name the remain- ing persons of the coloay to eome on the highroad and he would {ight them all, one after the other. ‘The following day he was again intoxicated, and fell down upon the road against a telegraph post, As explamed by the foregoing appeal, Adams’ true character was soon discovered, and ali who had any common sense gradually deserted him. He was forced, greatly w his‘disgust, to settle ail ace counts with the returning cvloulsts, and matters re- Tamed comparatively quiet, with occasional out- bursis of pulpit eloquence on Sundays, at the colony meeting house, on the part of Adams, which were mostly bitter denunciations against tose wao had returned, and against the consular authorities. PULPIT ORATORY. ‘This ts a specinen of his own words-— Vile apostates that they are to have deseried the cause of Palestine, who have auld their birthright for a mess of pot. tage, who crave after the hog leahpots of America.

THE EXODUS—“BREAK UP.’? The colontsts continued leaving until the spring of 1865, When there were only twenty leit, including women aud children, who still persisted in believing in the sauctity of their “prophet.” During the wontos of April and May there tuea occurred those exciting scenes Which ended in the flnal break-up of the colony, Adams leaving the country accompanied by us wife and son. ‘The foliowing statements of some of is most stanch adherents will express the disreputable: confusion which reigned daring the “last days of the colony” better than the inost ne MRS ADAMS’ STATEMENT.

THE MOFEMANITES. The greater part of the property of the late colo- Mists has been purchased by a German colony under the leadersiip of Bishop Hofman. ‘Their views are a8 follows:—Toey belleve that all the churches or sects in the present age are corrupt, toat now 18 the tine tor all true Christians 10 come out from among them and from the “Bride,” the trae and only Culurch of Christ, aud dweilin tois land leading a@ holy life, thus be- coming & “spiritual Llemple,”” waile they await the restoration of the land, and the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. ‘they also believe that they can attain W a state of comparative perfection—physi- cal as weil as spirifual—ia this world.

THE ANGLO-SAXON MILLENNIUM. Among the remarkabie people who have made Jaffa the scene of thew mad schemes and miserable fatiures is wa Knglishwan, who, with two others, came to Jarfa In 1367 and was deceived by Adams, to whom he foaned £359 0a @ mortgage. ‘This man nas invented @ wonderful chart, whicn purports to show the history of the world, past @nd future, ata giance, He argues that as certain past events have occurred at regular intervais, so future events, simular in character, Will take place. For ingtance, Abraham oiered up Isaac, the type of Christ, and a certain number of yeurs elapsed since that event and when Christ himself was crucified, and exactiy the same number of years will intervene between the crucifixion and the reappearance of Chriat, which latter will occur about seveuty years hence.
