Economy and Christian duty in church attire debate
A mid 19th century sermon argues economy in dress and expenses for churchgoers, urging plain calico attire over costly gowns, questioning whether fashionable garments and jewelry reflect true piety. It cites examples of church finery, encourages allocating funds to education and housing, and calls for humility, charity, and honest living. It warns against vanity, urges Christians to support needed welfare instead of ostentation.
