LOL!! So true. When I was a teenager in Louisiana I went to hear the Holland Trio sing at a church in our section. After the service I was talking with the pastors wife of the ultra con church that was in the same town that I went to church at and she said "it is such a shame to see that they (the Holland Trio) have gone worldly"
I couldn't imagine what she was talking about since the women in the trio looked regular UPC so I asked what she meant. She said "Oh didn't you see? They travel in a big bus now!". In her mind traveling in that bus made them worldly.

"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."
