THE FEMALE CHARACTER.

iHJfuenfe u me ff1n0le Character.
Nor is there any reason why Christian females
should be inattentive to their apparel "Let It be
remembered, that we live under (lispensation
which grants considerable liberty. in respect to ma
ny external circumstances that an excessive strict
about rhes leads to the neglect of substantial
things; and that the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink, so neither does It consist in any
pecuarities Of apparel but in righteousness and
peace, and JOY, in the Holy Ghost" am BY no
means preparedto subscribe to the sentiment that
q woman should mark her Christian principles by
any singuarity in her dress. There are few things
more preposterous, or antlchrisan, or that have led
to more censurable results. A Christian woman
ought to be distinguishable by her simplicity, her
neatness, her economy, her healhful and becoming
attire, but neverby her stiffness and precision Nor
does the gospel prescribe all ornament in the arti-
Gle Of clothing. 1t does, indeed prohibit that pro
fusion Of ornament which consists in a studied dis
play Of personal decorations and costly array. But
where does it interdict that decent regard to ex-
ternal appearance, which gives responsibility to the
female character? woman without respectability
. without influence; and without influence. she IS
without power Of doing good. Nor do | hesitate to
say that it is n6part Of the religion of the Gospel
foF female to be very scrupulous in avoiding the
common modes ofapparel. l believe there is much
more anxiety, and much more attention to dress,
and much more sin in studousy avoiding them,
than in naturally falling in with them. Fashions,
winch characterize gay and worldly circle, Chris
tan woman will avoid. But how ridiculous would
would appear, to disregard the spirit Of the age,
and cieave to the habiGment other ancestors while
the prevalent modes of dress among persons Of her
own Glass; are not inconsistent with modesty and
decorum- And let It not Be forgotten that there
+ no intrinsic evil in mere dress Of any kind So
on6 as the heart is not corrupted. nor the best in

ate itself into the mind from the love Of painness
and sIngularity Do not know enough of hu-
man nature to be satisfied, that woman who is ha-
bltuay well dressed, think less Of her apparel than
the woman who is well dressed only occasionally.
and whose thoughts are necessarily occupied about
the dress OF her nei ghbors An Indian NAV be as
vain Of her blanket and Quaker Of her bonnet and
cap, as a coxcomb is of the newest fashion. or ]

ali the ornaments and conveniences Of dress no
what untold multtudes do these give useful en-
ployment How large portion of The Church Of
God DO they elevate above want and suffering -
How many benevolent institutions are maintained

believe that the religion Of the Gospel requires that
we should have no regard to the feelinps and or;n
ions Of human society that we should divest our
selves Of that selfrespect, which renders US respec
ted and useful in the world.
1t is possible these thoughts may offend-But
sure am |, they present no cause of offence to the
most sclfdenying mind There is spirit in some
OF our most excellent females in relation to the ar
Gle Of dress, that requires praycrful selfex
animation than it has received
For myself, do not believe there IS any ding
pralseworthy in that spirit female curiosity which
interferes with the dress of her fellow christians,
and would reduce the taste Of the community to
any standard-And | have always found that those
females who are the most officious in those matters
are, with few exceptions, the very persons who
would lead the fashion, if it were in their power
To such persons would say, the spirit Of God af
firms Of virtuous woman, that call her household
are clothed IN scarlet; that she makeh herself c0rer
angs Of tapestry and that her clothing is silk and
purple"
And the same nestness and taste which ought to
be dscoverabe in lady's person, ought to be seen
inherfamly, her residence, her furniture, and that,

whether it be ample and rich or scanty ard poor
There is degree Of those virtues which ought to
pervade woman's entire sphere and with
which, society would degenerate into the baIbalisn
and violence Of the dark ages. And hence this Gle
walton Of character is always one of the effects OF
Christianity upon barbarous nations. It is sid
misconception that the law of God excludes every
thing that is refined or ornamental. and restricts hu
man enjoyments merely to what is necessary TO hu
man subsistence Coarse and depraved indeed.
would be that society in which there is nothing for
the case and convenience of life. So long as man
