“Happy Spring Festival!” to those who are celebrating.
“But, before we enter on the subject, let it be observed, that slovenliness is no part of religion; that neither this, nor any text of Scripture, condemns neatness of apparel. Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. ‘Cleanliness is, indeed, next to godliness.’ Agreeably to this, good Mr. Herbert advises every one that fears God: —
*
Let thy mind’s sweetness have its operation Upon thy person, clothes, and habitation.
*
And surely every one should attend to this, if he would not have the good that is in him evil spoken of.”
*
– quoted from Sermon #88 (“On Dress”) by John Wesley, inspired by The First Epistle General of Peter (3:3,4)
