Quote from Impartial Reporter 10/27/04 found on TTT:
"Mr. Cooney is not blind to everything. He specially inculcated on his disciples the need for cleanliness, and most likely they are just as clean as their neighbours. But they do not look it. Formerly the men discarded white shirts and collars. A few have overcome that folly. They still cling to beards, as they are entitled to do. But if a man with a beard will wear brown underclothing he cannot complain if people think him dirty-looking. It may suit a Tramp, to go about in that fashion; but he is not tidy looking. God made no such mistakes in nature. He fitted his creatures for their place in the order of His creation; and He ornamented the tiger and leopard, the moth and lizard, the parrot and wagtail for its place in nature. It is repulsive to sensitive eyes to see a number of what ought to be sensible women going about in black sailor hats and black jackets, unrelieved by a little white, acting under the foolish idea that thereby they are doing the Lord a service. It is all very well to talk of eschewing vanity. There is vanity and vanity. There is far more vanity in repeating the jargon of ‘being saved’ and ‘I am safer than you,’ than in copying the daisy or the tulip, the simple primrose or the mayflower, the stately purity of the lily, or the queenly glory of the rose. This vanity—genuine vanity, of self-abnegation in dress is part of the Pharisaism which says, ‘Thank God I am not as other women.’ There is a moderation in dress as in all things, and there is an extravagance which is sinful; but to wrap one’s self up in mournful black and glory in one’s own denial of self for so doing, resembles the ignorant folly of the self-tortured Indian fakir instead of the comeliness of the Christian. Could any one imagine that our Lord went about in disagreeable looking."
