"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."

No coincidence the guy's name was "Coots"...

And like the conservation guy said... if you play with poisonous snakes you're an idiot.

I'm glad they mentioned Alabama in the article! I'm tired of people from Kentucky gettin' all the "bad press" about snake handling! LOL

I know a lady that handled snakes before she moved to Madisonville. The word Strange just doesn't seem to describe her. She didn't like me because she said I laughed too much and being a Christian was serious!

Let me just say....uh....I'd rather NOT be a sad Christian who handles snakes!
