I’m sorry Pastor, but I can’t answer your question. My wife’s family served God under the Pentecostal Tam, but left that behind many years ago. The only significant enclave of “second covering” people that I know of in NB are your friends from Plaster Rock. There were more hats around years ago, but I think that most of them had a connection to Bro.’s Ralston and McKillop.

My grandmother has been a part of the Oneness movement in NB since it arrived in the early twenties. I’ll ask her about the “second covering” origins when I am next speaking with her.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Wasn't Bro. Rolston a proponent of the second covering?

Re: Help Maple Leaf

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought perhaps MapleLeaf had fallen down and couldn't get up!
