OUR FASHION PLATES.

GENTLEMEN’S STYLES.

“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil.

“Stand, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast-plate of righteousness,

“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”—PAUL.

LADIES’ STYLES.

“Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and wearing of gold, or putting on of apparel.

“But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible; even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God, of great price.”—PETER.

These styles are a little out of fashion now, what our fine ladies and gentlemen would call “dowdish,” but they were worn by Paul and Peter, and many of the fine ladies and gentlemen of Ephesus and other Eastern cities in that day; and we must say, that we even now look upon a person thus clad as being exceedingly well dressed.—Morning Watch.
