A Faithful Undershepherd 
The apostle exhorted the women in the faith to be chaste in conversation and
modest in dress and deportment. "Whose adorning," he counseled, "let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which
is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in
the sight of God of great price." 
Teaching the Fundamental Principles of Dress 
Imperishable Ornaments Versus Gold or Pearls.-- There is an ornament that will
never perish, that will promote the happiness of all around us in this life,
and will shine with undimmed luster in the immortal future. It is the adorning
of a meek and lowly spirit. God has bidden us wear the richest dress upon the
soul. . . . Instead of seeking golden ornaments for the exterior, an earnest
effort would be put forth to secure that wisdom which is of more value than
fine gold.

Beauty that Endures
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of
the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price . 1 Peter 3:3, 4. 
To Adorn the Christian 
Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and
of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man
of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Peter 3:3, 4. 
Simplicity in Dress 
"Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and
of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel, but let it be the hidden man
of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 
Counseling 
Wise Counseling.--Sympathy is good, wisely given, but it must be judiciously
imparted, with a knowledge that the subject is deserving sympathy. What shall
be said of receiving advice and counsel? Proverbs 25:9-12: "Debate thy cause
with thy neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another: lest he that
heareth it put thee to shame....A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in
pictures of silver. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is
a wise reprover upon an obedient ear." 
A Progressive Life 
The Influence of a Meek and Quiet Spirit
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of
the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price . 1 Peter 3:3, 4 
A Mark of Christian Womanhood 
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the
heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price . 1 Peter 3:3, 4. 
1 Peter 
The Charm of Moral Worth.--Moral worth has a charm that wealth and outward
attractions do not possess. The woman having the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, in the sight of God has an endowment of great value, before which the
silver of Tarshish, and the gold of Ophir, are worthless. Solomon's bride, in
all her glory, cannot compare with one of these household treasures 
Young Sabbath-keepers 
Says the apostle, "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let
it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the
ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great
price." 
The Adorning That Never Fades 
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of
the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quite spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price . 1 Peter 3:3, 4. 
A Remarkable Experience 
Remember, too, the words of the apostle: "Whose adorning, let it not be that
outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on
of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the
sight of God of great price." 
The Apostasy of Solomon 
Moral worth has a charm that wealth and outward attractions do not possess. The
woman having the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, in the sight of God has
an endowment of great value, before which the silver of Tarshish, and the gold
of Ophir, are worthless. Solomon's bride, in all her glory, cannot compare with
one of these household treasures. 
Simplicity in Dress 
"Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and
of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel, but let it be the hidden man
of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 
Remember, too, the words of the apostle: "Whose adorning let it not be that
outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on
of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the
sight of God of great price." 
A Faithful Under-Shepherd (Continued) 
The apostle exhorted the women in the faith to be chaste in conversation and
modest in dress an deportment. "Whose adorning," he counseled, "let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which
is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in
the sight of God of great price." 
How Should Christians Dress? 
"Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and
of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man
of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 1 Peter 3:3, 4. 
"Whose adorning," Peter writes, "let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let
it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the
ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great
price." 
Now is your golden opportunity to form pure and holy characters for Heaven. You
cannot afford to devote these precious moments to trimming and ruffling, to
beautify the external to the neglect of the inward adorning. "Whose adorning
let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of
gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart,
in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price."
