"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
The funny thing is Old Paths was never in the UPC his father who was pioneer preacher in Tn. was never in the UPC he nor his wife has UPC roots so 1945 means nothing to alot of us. I never was in the UPC and never had the desrie to be in the UPC and I am not bashing the UPC just a total different background.
You mean that old time religion that made so many apostolics famous for body odor because they didn't believe in perfumed soaps or deodorants?
You mean that old time religion that made so many female apostolics famous for nasty greasy stringy hair, unshaved legs that looked like a man's, and record setting long armpit hair?

Sister, arm pit hair only grows so long and then stops. I know because I have never shaved my arm pit hair and it isn't to the floor!
