Dress in Church.

It was noticed that when the Queen of England, a few weeks ago, attended at a Presbyterian church in Scotland, she was dressed without jewelry, or any of the symbols of fashion. The Evangelist, referring to this, says:—

“This example of the highest lady in the realm might be imitated, not only in Great Britain, but in this country; for nowhere, we are ashamed to say, is the bad taste of ostentation in dress more conspicuous than here. It seems as if, with many, the Sabbath were the grand occasion for display, and the church the place for self-exhibition. In no other country have we seen so much show and tinselry in the churches as in some of our cities.”
