AMERICA’S NEW PROPHET.
A young man; named John Wall appeared in New York recently, proclaiming a new gospel for the salvation of the hhman race. He made baste to dissociate himself from the nostrums of the Prophet Dowie, and after reciting an amended ford’s Prayer, beginning “ Our Father which art manifest everywhere,” said there was room in the new Church for Christians, Buddhists, infidels, Tammany Hall, and even William Randolph Hearst. It would be called the “Church of the Golden Rule,” would sing popular songs as well as hymns, and would buy up every available concern from a railway' to a skating rink, and run it on cooperative lines. Wall, who in his unregenerate days was a reporter, says he wants ten million adherents, when, he thinks, the world would find him •either another Luther or another Wesley.
