Love of dress, and devotion to fashion, are among the teacher's most formidable rivals and most effective hindrances.
Fashion is a mistress that rules with an iron hand.
Even the day and the services of worship are not exempt from fashion's domination. Rather they afford opportunity for the greater display of her power. The poor, unable to meet the demands of custom, stay away from church altogether.
At the same time the young should be taught to recognize the lesson of nature, He hath made everything beautiful in its time."
Ecclesiastes 3:11.
In dress, as in all things else, it is our privilege to honor our Creator. He desires our clothing to be not only neat and healthful, but appropriate and becoming.
A person's character is judged by his style of dress. A refined taste, a cultivated mind, will be revealed in the choice of simple and appropriate attire.
