"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"

This guy got preaching against non-pleated pants on men because... as he said it "It shows all your equipment to the women!"

He never stopped. Finally I just sat back and watched him. Complete amazement that the idiot was even let loose by his handlers but.......

The tendency to attack anyone who is not in your group is so overwhelming to those men that they just can't stop.
Please tell me this was a males only session.... because that is oh-so-inappropriate for too many reasons if it wasn't.
