There seems to be in the churches a
great strife raging. It is an Auster.jtZ Of
ribbons. The clrnage Of color is seen all
over our religious assenblages. Along on
the outskirts Of the Sabbath audiences you
see here and there a picket OF fashion.
But down in the middle Of the church arc
the solid columns blazing away al through
the service. Five hun !red broken and
contrite hearts " covered III spangles and
rainh0ws. Followers Of the meek and
lcwly Na2Grene" all a-jingie and a-fash.
Ten cents for the missionary cause and two
hundred and fifty dollars for trappings.
Church OF God hung by the neck with gold
chains diam0Gd-locketed. Unsophisticated
person travelling on TWO yards Of silk
dragged by the lady going mp the aisle in
front Of him. Diamonds enough to give
all India the Gospel The item of dress
among Christian people on the Sabbath
day IS an outrage on the Christian
religion. For graceful and beautiful
apparel we have admiration. But
this strife in Christian circles rs to
who shall dash up t. the churChdOOr in
the cayest turnout, aad who shall make
the most blaz0nment Of wardrobe IS enc Of
the great hindraDce5 ot religious advance
nent. Our ladies' hats and shaWls are Sc
fine that on rainy days We are afraid to 90
to church lest we get drop on them. Our
headgear IS worth more than otIrsouls We
teeter and swagger up the ainles. To The dis
gust Of good men and The grief Of angels
Enough money is expended by Christians
of our city, IL excess Of tlle requisite outlay
for dress. to relieve al the poverty and e,!u-
cate all the ignorance and balk all the
crime. Some Of our Christian gentlemen
have boots 50 tight they can scarcely walk
in paths Of Righteousness. and they feel IN
church more like swearing than praying,
because their corns hurt; and our Christian
women shut out the Gun of righteousness
BY so paFa50lS-lace-tlmme silk-hned,
silver mounted. The poor are kept cut Of
church because their plain apparel
looks 70 bal IN contrast. We want
. great ecclesiastical reformation in the
matter Of Sabbath Requirement. Shoe
these religious peacOcls Out Of the house
of God. By your example make Fr3duoi
and modest costume TOr2 popular than
gaudy apparel. Do not put So much dry
goods on your back that you cannot climb
into glory. You cannot sail into the harhog
Of heaven with such 4 rigging ss that.
They would level their guns st you as be
ing . blOlkade-Tuaner. Coming up 10 the
celestial door the gatekeepeT would cry.
Haiti You cannot 20 in with such regi-
meutais.' And as you answered, got
those Jewels from TiiiAnY's, and that dress
from Arnold & Constabia's, and those shoes
from Burt's," the gatekeeper would say 10
one of the attendants. Take this soul
down 10 one Of the Ut-houses, and tear off
those pulls and rutt.es, ana knife plaitings
and Hamburg embroideries, and put or her
more appropriate Sunday attire; for, going
