"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."

Re: Shorts
I don't wear shorts, and for that y'all can be grateful.

I have been going through hunger, restlesness, pressure and learning like never before; hinging on the word of God and words of saints. My failures surround me and I am developing a more keen awareness that God is not an option, but the only possible way for me to retain my life. Worship is harder to come by and I go part-of-the-day by part-of-the-day. I am leaning on elder saints who are prayer warriors to uphold me because my life is in a state of seeming disrepair- financial distress, family problems, uncertainty, unemployment, regret, struggle...But I believe God! He will get me through this! I have heard his promises and he has spoken to me much over this time. Even when I wake up in complete fear, or when friends don't speak with me, or I feel loss of hope- He has taught me that he is in these places, and has dominion. So even though I failed, and my heart condemns me...God is greater!
...when, or if you ever go through this type of valley, then revisit the issue of how long the hem of your pants should be.

Forget the "Like" button - where's the "Really Like" button?
Not that I "Like" what Brock's been going through, but this really does give us a great deal of clarity. Thanks, Bro. And, hang in there... I'm praying and rootin' for you!
