Fashion notes describe a shift from heavy ornament to restrained tailoring with slim sleeves and bold color contrasts. Fringes and elaborate embroidery remain limited, while stitching and passementerie provide detail. Coats and wraps display a range from plain to prettily embellished with velvet, braids, and plaid trims across walking and evening styles.
A sermon excerpt by Rev W. MB Allen meditates on St John, the Resurrection, and eternal life. It recalls Christ’s compassion, the apostles’ martyrdom, and the staying power of faith amid loneliness. Probes why modern life seeks earthly gain over eternal rest, urging trust in God’s fatherly love and life beyond death.
The sermon cites Acts 19 19 20 where converts publicly renounce old beliefs by burning their magic texts, valuing moral courage over social safety. It argues true conversion shows in life and influence, challenging believers to take a costly stand for Christ rather than hidden adherence.
