BRINGS BLUSH TO THE CHEEK, DECLARES BISHOP IN LENTEN PASTORAL CALLING FOR REFORM.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.— ** Sydney Sun *' Cable
(Received February 28, 11 a.m.) LONDON, February 28. The Catholic Bishop. Dr Hoare. of Armagh, in his Lenten F’astorai, says: “The first abuse which should be corrected in the Lenten season is woman's abominable dress. Satan made no mistake in subjecting the fairest of creation to ridicule, sin and perdition. It brings a blush to the cheek to find grave mothers and pious daughters cause a scandal in order to present a beautiful appearance. Woman never degraded herself as in the present costumes, which lower her below the lowest of the human family and suggest the loss of ail regard for purity. “ We cannot have a clean race until she is restored to her former dignity. Till then do not let her approach the Holy of Holies.”
