A funny thing happened.....
Yesterday we installed a new stainless steel dishwasher in our kitchen as part of our long term kitchen remodeling. I told my wife that I was going to put our old black dishwasher that still works great for sale on Craigslist for $75 to help with our vacation money we are trying to save.
Sure enough today at work when I checked my emails I had three or four inquiries. One was from a lady who said her church needed a dishwasher and asked when she could come look at it etc. I answered her email and then a bit later it dawned on me that her email address (which had her husbands name) was the name of a member of my church.
I emailed her again asking if she went to my church and she replied "Is this XXXX's dad?" LOL. I had no idea our church was looking for a dishwasher.
I told her I would gladly donate it to the church and then emailed all the other folks what had happened and apologized for it no longer being available.

"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."
