Winds of God
Does anyone know the pages that this is on in The Winds of God by Ethel Goss? Thank you kindly!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote:
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Sam might, but I did read it and she did say it.

LOL!!! I find it very interesting and I am sure it is shocking to many folks who have grown up in the Oneness Pentecostal movement in the latter part of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century.
I would have never dreamed a quote like that existed from my upbringing in the UPC and UPC college education. Diversity from the current UPC / Oneness doctrines / traditions are hidden in the basement like a crazy old aunt!

By the way Amazon has a used copy of that book but it is $50.00. Surprisingly they also have a kindle edition for $9.99
