The following is taken from an editorial in the Chicago Inter-Ocean,called out by Joseph Dana Miller's interesting article, "The Growth of Christian Science," in the July issue of The Era:—
"It is a notable fact that the adherents of Christian Science are, as a rule, from the well-to-do part of the community. Most members of its churches have had large advantages of education and have been fortunate in their worldly affairs. They come from what is commonly called the cultured portion of American society.
"Christian Science numbers among its adherents many thousands of prosperous and educated Americans, who are willing to spend large sums upon temples of their faith, and who are never lacking in missionary zeal. It is, therefore, an institution and a force that cannot be lightly brushed aside as of no importance to the religious life of the nation."
