Spread of Christian Science and Modern Laundry Ads

The article discusses followers of Christian Science led by Mrs Eddy, with clergy critics and praise from adherents. It notes rapid church-building, educated converts, and a claim of divine guidance. It then oddly shifts to a laundry machine campaign and a testimonial from Ashburton Laundry. The piece ends with an ad for Wade's Worm Tea.
