was immediately manifest that the long irofj
ire m en, as it wa ueuly wer:, ccU5i aai
combed opward to the top of the head, instead
of answering to Paul's object cf covering, ac
tually exposes the back part of the head mere
than the short hair of men." This mode cf
reasoning was carried on till the "bddcr wo
men cut cfT their hair and wore it cn their
necks as girls do, and soon the practice became
general. In the next place, the women laid
aside the usual dress, and .substituted a shcrt
frock and pantaloons, which was found to be
altogether more convenient. The report says :
" The women say they are far more free aud
comfortable in this dress than tbe long gowns ;
the men think that it improves their looks, and
some insist that it is entirely more modest than
the common dress." This is plainly the germ
of Bljcmcrism.
The religious exercises of this Association
consist of public meetings, when each one is
called on to relate his own experience, or to
make such exhortations cr reflections as ' are
on the mind waiting for vent." Different eve
nings are set apart for different purposes ; one
for music, one for dancing, er e for Bible rea
dings, &.c. The religious influence is sail to
be wonderful on those who have joined the
Association. All who come in while in an
I unconverted state, arc declared to have been
converted, and one man who was a confirmed
lunatic has been entirely cured!- - The Annual
