Hilda Blaue, Sister Worker
Hilda Blaue was put out of the work due to her insistence on wearing black stockings. Back in the 1920s when some women were complaining about having to wear black stockings, Hilda made a vow to God that she would always wear black stockings until the day she died and never complain. When other women switched to tan stockings, Hilda did not. She argued that a vow is a vow to God and she would not change or break the vow she had made to God. Thomas Schroeder wrote, “ … the reason she was sent out of the work was that she was still wearing the black stockings. This was in the 1970s and her younger companion said that it was very embarrassing when they stood up to preach, since she wore tan stockings and Hilda was still wearing black stockings. Why, how would this look to outsiders that would come to the meeting? Why, it would scare them away. The companion had tried to get Hilda to get rid of her black stockings and put on the tan stockings and Hilda would not do that. So some said it was Hilda's own fault that she was put out of the work. So they put her out of the work.” (Source: https://ex2x2.info/2020/11/11/black-stockings-by-tom-schroeder/)
