Letter Fro m tin Doubtless the readers of the Standard are interested in every earnest effective worker in the y cause; and a few facts relative to one of them may not come amiss. Anti-Polygam- Wm. Jarman, an der and priest for twelve ex-Morm- on el- years a resident of Salt Lake City, visited our village recently, delivering lectures illustrated by calcium light pictures of Utah life and scenery. So thrilling and interesting was the speaker that a repetition was required, and we heard much of the horrors of Mormonism, both from the lectures and in private conversation, for we had the pleasure of entertaining him. Mr. Jarman purposed going to Washington to face Geo. Q. Cannon in May, where he intended to ask for a body guard, as he considered his life would be in danger from Mormon animosity. Later he was to go to England, to thoroughly expose Mormonism to his countrymen. Said he, I am going to that Mormon emigration. stop There are thousands in England waiting for the season to open, that they may come over to Utah. They must be enlightened. But Providence seemed to mark out a change in his career, and he was called suddenly to England, to the bedside of his dying mother, without having visited Washington, lie sailed in May, with the determination of giving those Mormon missionaries some sharp, antagonistic work. He intended to return in August or September. Mr. Jarman is on fire with his work. His lectures are full of enthusiasm, pathos, and wit, and have done much in New England to stir His predictions with the people regard to the recent Congressional stir on Mormonism, are being fulfilled to the letter. He says the only hope for Utah is from the people of the Nation, and predicts that nothing less than shot and shell will solve the Mormon question As to his personal history, a volume would be required to give the thrilling details of his experience. Converted in England to as he supposed a pure, simple, earnest, to Utah; religion, he emigrated there to learn of the abominations robof polygamy, bery, etc. His fanaticism gradually diminished, and when he dared to boldly apostatize, he was repeatedly o merrobbed, till from a chant, lie was reduced to a penniless condition, lie was informed that his blood must atone for his to appoint sins, and requested his executioners, which he refused Three to do. times, however, were con' murder schemes for his cocted and in process of execution, when by seine interposition of Providence he was saved.

Consequently it is only right then that woman should be its most uncompromising opponent, and work for its complete abolition. rs Mor-mOnis- m.
