: Clerical Dress.
At a pastors' meeting, held in New York last
week, the question of clerical dress came up.
Some advocated the wearing of the black robes,
others denounced the garb as unseemly and rit
ualistic There is nothing more arbitrary than
'clerical dress." In Encland
styles, that of the Establishment that of the
Dissent. You can tell a high churchman from
a .low churchman, the one wearing a cravat
without a collar, and the other a collar without
a cravat .The great army of the Establishment
wear a .dr,ess.as distinctive as the "Oneen'a
Own, The dress of the'Dia-entena nA -hkl'r
j i ' -w- w - VUUU J L
a servant in a nobleman's house are alike, both
wearing white cravats and black coats and
pants. Spurgeon wears this dress with this dif
ference, instead of a swallow-tailed coat he wears
a black frock. In the days of Stillman and
Baldwin, ordained clergymen ot all denomina
tions wore the bands, and a large portion of
them wore the black gown. In their own pul
pits, Drs. Baldwin and Stillman preached in
full canonicals. Bishop Ashbury, the first
American Bishop of the Methodist Church!
travelled over the savannahs and waste places of
the South, and performed his functions in that
wild region in full bishop's dress. -The white
cravat , was not a clerical badge. It was worn
by all gentlemen, judges, lawyers, merchants,
scholars, as well as by clergymen. No one' was
dressed without a white cravat When other,
classes abandoned the distinction, the clergy
refused to follow the fashions one Brooklyn
pastor astonishing his audience by coming into
the pulpit in a white scarf and red necklace.
