Therefore, he could never appreciate the hours enjoyed by those who quilt or sews any beautiful object. Our bodies may go the way of gravity and decay, but the mental satisfaction and pleasure help to make us the happy, mentally healthy individuals we are.
I should have worded that differently. The Methodist publication said that treadle sewing machines were evil. An article in a trade publication for doctors, specifically for gynecologists, said the rest of it... BOTH publications were from the mid 1800's.
