BOBBED HAIR AND SHORT SKIRTS IN SILOAM SPRINGS H N a recent issue of "The Bible Witness" (London), toward this important issue: "Evangelist Brown invited his young people to stand by him in a loyal attempt to withstand the attractions of mod ern dress,—the bobbed and shingled hair and short skirts must go once for. all. Who among his young women stu dents were prepared to take so drastic a step? Who would come forward and take his hand in token of their willing ness to do this big thing? And there they came, some with tears and sobs, and knelt in humble contrition while the whole audience viewed the scene with like deep emotion. Would that the tidings of that night's work could spread throughout America and Great Britain, and that the bobbed hair might go forever, and that Christian women, young and old alike, might realize their privilege of standing fast against the inane fashions of the day." We congratulate John Brown upon bis courage in attack ing such a "hair-rowing” subject. Hi's position is sensible, Scriptural, just what we should expect from such a stal wart and sturdy Defender of the Faith. We could wish that many other institutions (Bible schools as well as sec ular schools) might follow his example. In line with this splendid effort of Mr. Brown, we give the following quotation from "The Walther League Messenger" (Lutheran): "Dr. Perry M. Lichtenstein is the physician of the nation ally known Tombs Prison in New York., City. During twelve years at this post he has seen 170,000 prisoners pass through that melancholy structure out over the 'Bridge of Sighs.’ He has met all of them, and is certainly in a posi tion to speak authoritativelv on the causes of crime. In a recent statement in the 'Philadelphia Public Ledger’ he uttered this startling truth: “ 'The so-called crimes of passion are increasing alarm ingly, and will continue to do so, in my opinion, until the principal cause is eliminated. This, it seems to me, is the present style of dress, which, to say the least, is immodest. Rolled stockings and similar styles have a direct bearing upon crime incitation, no matter how innocent the wearer may be.’ "And even if lmmodedt clothing does not always lead to serious crime, it certainly offers a very direct and sugges tive appeal to sex, and stimulates those baser impulses which slumber in the human breast. It is certainly safe to say that there would be much less crime today, far fewer homes whose happiness has been blasted forever by unfaith fulness, fewer divorce trials, and especially less violation of maidenly honor, and far fewer transgressions of the sins against chastity, if every one of these underworld styles could be thrown down into the deepest hell, where they were conceived. Remember, the girl who dresses in an alluring way cannot condemn any one but herself if the lure of her dress brings her the treatment which is usually accorded to women of questionable morals. One of the most pathetic pictures of which we can conceive is that of a young woman who thinks that in order to make herself eligible for marriage she must stoop to some of the extremes of fashion. The plain facts in the case are simply this, that such appeals will be answered only by young men wbo have no thought of marriage, or who are not qualified for the responsibility of a Christian husband and father. Honest, clean-thinking, Christian young men (and, in spite of recent newspaper insinuations, there are many more of these than we realize) will be repelled by such tactics."4 ak Send in your renewal subscription for The King's Business now— today — so you may not miss the Sun day School Lessons.
