OF Dress Denounced.

Sunday Home for StrEngers-The Follles
OF Dress Denounced.
At the meeting OF the congregation OF the Church
of the Strangers in the chapel OF the University,
Washington square, last evening, very eloquent
sermon was delivered by the Rev. DR.. DEEMS Taking
his text from St. Mark, XII, 13--"And
when he came to it he found nothing but eayes"-
the reverend pastor read an extract in explanation
of the curse levied by Christ upon the fig tree that
bore no fruit In all the history OF the Saviour's
life thus was the only record OF vindctive mira
Gle. The tree was not bliented because 1t bore no
fruit but because 1t had leaves and still fruit
less. The alus on was fgurative, and I'm reality re-
nected upon the cOndiu0n OF ,ne Jews. who
at the period In question were making
great display OF their religion, but really
utterly 1ruitless in respect to real benefit to the
religion ITSELF Comparing the lives Of many people
to the fig tree, he Illustrated how many there
were wnO although bearing many leaves in the
shape of position, worldly riches and pretended re-
ii1lOn were still at the end OF their earthly career
totally fruitess. Thy made much noise during
their lifetime, but still there was nothing but
eaves,' and no Iruit. The preacher denounced tne
foles OF the present fashion IN female dress, espe

or, in other words, the nasty habit OF ping up
large quantities OF false halr upon the mead. The

discovery that the Ideal OF their eartny

The same reflections could be made TO bear upon
many other phases IN lile especially In reference to
religion. Many people are constant 1t their church
meetings, but there all ended. Ostcnsibly the tree
promised well, but, III fact it il frutiess and moth

lag into cloisters, the lecturer stated that no
man or woman had right to enter into such instl-
tutions. To shut ones self away from the world Is
u sinful act and contrary 10 divine Will. Mans mis-
SION IS to do good among his fellows, aud not JC
isolate himself. The address was closed by some
more illusions to men who hold prominent public
positions, who always in hurry, gave one an idea
OF "a storm In boots,' and still at the basis wa.
