Church Dress.

The best bred people of every
Christian country, but our own,
avoid all personal display when en-
gagged in worship and prayer. Our
churches, on the contrary, are made
places for the exhibition of fine ap-
parel and other costly, Haunting
conpliances with fashion, by those
who boast of superior wealth and
manners. We shall leave our gew-
gawed devotees to reconcile hu-
initiation in worship with vanity in
dress. That is problem which we
confess we have neither the right
nor the capacity to solve. How Tar
fine clothes may affect the personal
piety of the devotee we do not pre-
tend even to conjecture; but we have
a very decided opinion in regard to
their influence upon the religion OF
others. The fact is, that our
churches are so futtering with birds
of fine feathers, that no sorry fowl
will venture in. The poor are so
awed by the pretension OF superior
dress that they naturally avoid too
close proximity to them. The church
being the only place on this side OF
the grave designedofor the rich and
the poor to meet together in equal
prostration before God, it certainly
should always be kept free for this
common humiliation and brother
hood. 1t is so in most of the
churches in Europe, when the beg
gar in rags and wretchedness, and
the wealthiest and most eminent,
whose appropriate sobriety Of dress
leaves them without mark of exter-
nal distinction, kneel down together,
equalized by a common humiliation
before the only Supreme Being.
No person can attend upon the
services of any of our churches, and
worship God without distraction One
needs continually to offer the prayer,
take off my eyes from beholding
vanity" But he must be blind to
have his prayer answered, for the
sight of the eyes always afects the
heart. There is the rustic OF rich
silks, the f1utter of gay fans, the nod
ding of plumes and flowers; the tilt
ing of laces, of ribbon, of curls;
there are bracelets and earrings;
everything that is absurd and fool
ish in fashion; all these are between
you and the speaker. How can you
worship God? How can you hear
with any profit?
Snowy dress should be worn at
parties, the opera-anywhere but in
the sanctuary. The adoption Of
more simple apparel for church on
the part of the rich would have the
effect, certainly not of diminishing
their own personal piety, but prob
ably of increasing the disposition for
religious observance on the part OF
the poor.-From The Royal Path Of

Prohibition in North Carolina.

Mr.. James NJ. Allen, Jr., is in the
city to see his brothers from New
York and from the army. Mr.. Allen
says that if one wants to know what
prohibition really is they should
visit North Carolina now and see the
practical workings and the demoral-
ization of labor and business from
the blind tigers in spite of the
Pinkerton detectives that are en-
ployed to run them to earth. Labor
is demoralized because all the ne
groes can make more money as blind
tigers than by honest work, and
wages are too high even II we can
get a man or woman to work.
He says that there is more drunk
enness on the streets now than he
ever saw in Goldsboro before, and
that the same is true Of other towns
in the State. The jug trains and ex-
press company are doing a big busl-
ness. Sixty-five gallons of liquor in
one day was counted a dull shipment
for Goldsboro, and more money is
going out of the community now for
liquor than ever before.
Mr.. Allen says that he is, and has
always been an advocate of prohlbl-
ton, but that he is convinced nov
that the passage of such a law un-
supported by the real sentiments OF
the people, has worked for corrup-
ton and evil. He thinks likely that
the State legislature may repeal 1t
next time and give the people local
option as they had before, and under
which temperance seemed to be ad-
vancing.-Florence Times.
