Mntthla*.Will you be good enough to give the
facts in the career of the rellglousimpostor Matthlas? T. T. W.
It Is assumed that you intend Rob¬ert Matthews, a natlve of Washingtoncounty, N. Y., born about 17S8. ofScotch famlly. He took the name Mat¬thlas about 1S20, and gave out that hewas a Jew (seeming to have some no-tlon of a relncarnation), and estab-lished a sort of church and attractedseveral converts among persons ofwealth, who enabled hlm to llve Ingreat luxury. It was the commonvlow that Matthlas was clearly unbal-anced and hls wrltlngs certalnly givecolor to the oplnion. He. never. at-talned any considerable followlng, anddisappeared from the publlc vlew on hlsarrest in 1S35 for fraud and on thosusplclon of belng party to the deathof Elijah Picrson, one of his most- con¬
siderable converts, and known arnons,the elect as John tho Baptist. Thereis a llfe of Matthlas, publlshed ln NewYork in 1835. which will give all thalls now known of him.

It ls anecessary corollary from that fact thattho general run of buman vocatlons dcnot demand more of any quality, moral,mcntal or physlcal, than the average'human belng possesses.
