"That women adorn themselves in mod
est apparel /. not with broidered hair,
or gold, or pearls, or costly array" 1st
l'im., z chap, 9th verse.


st. Paul addressed these words to women
but they will apply, well, to both sexes
J hat men and women at the present day,
DO not regard the apostles injunction, or ex-
hortation, is a truth that cannot be denied
Pride and extravaganza keep pace-yes,
outstrip the age of the country. For a
considerable time, after our pilgrim fathers
landed in America, the people needed the
Apostles injunction but how is it in
1916? Modest and simple apparel, with
the mass has become obsolete. How
much time is needlessly spent in adjusting
and ambroiding hair. How many under
take to adorn themselves with gold rings
and gold watches, that are not actually
worth fourpence How many people
are determined to have fine and expensive
apparel, when something simple and plain,
would be much more for their interest and
credit. For loveliness needs not the for
eign aid or ornament, but is when unador-
ned, adorned the mosto 1t is much to be
lamented, that such competition exists.
A vast many are trying to Guido. 1t mat
ters not whether they be rich or poor
Counting the cost is out of the question:
The leading object is to get the thing de-
sired, as to the pay, they are very indif1er-
ent.


Now if the apostle be correct, then
many are acting an unwise part. They are
unwise, because fnery and superfuity, in
stead of adding to peoples good looks,
greatly detract therefrom. They are un-
wise, because it is prolific source of en-
barrassment and injustice. They are un-
wise, because it is actually sin. For the
improvement ofour time and money, we
are assured we must render an account
lfit shall appear that we have mismproved
the talents committed to US, we must be
considered Improbable servants
