"She has been out several times in an evening to hear that Brother Jarrum, and had become infected with the Mormon doctrine. In spite of what I or Flore could say, she would go to listen to the man, and she grew to believe the foolish things he uttered. And you can't give me Dr. West's address?" "No, I can't," replied Jan. "And I see no good that it would be to you, if I could.
It's the Great Salt Lake, that shines out like burnished silver, and bursts on the sight of the new pilgrims when they arrive in bands at the holy city the emigrants from this land." "Some do arrive then, sir?" timidly questioned Dinah Roy. "Some!" indignantly responded Brother Jarrum. "They are arriving continual. The very evening before I left, a numerous company arrived.
Some of the experiences of those present, however, rather tended to accord it a less satisfactory one, and there arose some murmuring. Brother Jarrum explained "Women is not married with us for time, but for eternity as I tried to beat into you last night. Once the wife of a saint, their entrance into paradise is safe and certain. We have not got a old maid among us not a single old maid!"
"Not till Brother Jarrum was fixing the night of departure, did the vision come to him. It was commanded him that it should be kept from you till the rest were off, and then he were to send back a messenger to tell you and many a mile I've come! Brother Jarrum and me has no doubt that it is meant as a trial of your faith." Nothing could be more satisfactory to the mind of Mrs.
As to that infidel Peckaby, he indulged in sundry mocking doubts, which were, to say the least of them, very mortifying to a believer. "What's your opinion, sir?" she suddenly asked of Lionel. "Well," said Lionel, "my opinion as you wish for it Would incline to the suspicion that your friend, Brother Jarrum, deceived you.
And Brother Jarrum caught the words, although they were spoken in an undertone. "And so they are," said he. "The climate's of a nature that softens the faces, keeps folks in health, and stops 'em from growing old. If you see two females in the street, one a saint's wife, the t'other a new arrival, you can always tell which is which.
Houses, and friends, and plenty, all got ready aforehand; and gentlemen waiting to marry the ladies that may wish to enter the holy state!" "There is a plenty?" questioned again that unbelieving man, Davies. "There's such a plenty that the new arrivals are advised to eat, for a week or two, only half their fill," returned Brother Jarrum "of fruits in partic'lar.
A movement of intense surprise amid the audience. Brother Jarrum went on "I can't say I have knowed many as have stopped servants, even at that high rate of pay. My memory won't charge me with one. They have married and settled, and so have secured for themselves paradise." This might be taken as a delicate hint that the married state, generally, deserved that happy title.
"No, sir, I was not," she answered, in much anger. "I did not favour Brother Jarrum. I'd prefer to pick and choose when I got there. But I had a great amount of respect for Brother Jarrum, sir, which I'm proud to speak to. And I don't believe that he has served me this shameful trick of his own knowledge," she added, with emphasis.
"Who condemns her?" a voice, more venturesome than the rest, was heard to ask. "There's mysteries in our faith which can't be disclosed even to you," was the reply of Brother Jarrum. "Them apostate women are condemned to it; and that's enough. It's not everybody as can see the truth. Ninety-nine may see it, and the hundredth mayn't." "Very true, very true," was murmured around.
