As the subject came up, W.Q.Judge wrote of the TS in 1894:
"... our poverty and lack of earthly applause and reward have saved us =
from cranks and sectarians who, subliminally attracted by wealth, would =
prate of doctrine and duty while they stood guard over the cash-box.. =
In the strength of our ideal and devotion is our power, and that work =
which is done without the blighting influence of a debit and credit =
account goes further and lasts longer than any which is given as return =
for a money consideration."
It didn't stay that way, and TS members are - surprise! - more often =
than not regarded as the kinds of sectarians that he described.
