Re: To all you ladies out there
I am not a woman but since my wife doesn't post on here I will try to tell a little of her story.
We were both raised UPC but she was more conservative than me when we started dating and married.
She did trim the dead ends off her hair but did not cut it. She also didn't wear any makeup that I can recall other than perhaps lip gloss somtimes.
She did not wear pants in public but would in private while riding horses, etc. She believed in wedding rings but her pastor did not.
This is the end of part one. I just realized how late it is and have to go to bed! Will continue the dramatic story tomorrow. LOL!!!

"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."
