We met at the Eastern depot in Lynn, and were both surprised,--I to learn
that he had printed all the copy on hand, and had come to tell me he wanted
more,--he to find me _en route_ for Boston, to give him the closing chapter
of my first edition of Science and Health. Not a word had passed between
us, audibly or mentally, while this went on. I had grown disgusted with my
printer, and become silent. He had come to a standstill through motives and
circumstances unknown to me.

Science and Health is the textbook of Christian Science. Whosoever learns
the letter of this book, must also gain its spiritual significance, in
order to demonstrate Christian Science.

When the demand for this book increased, and people were healed simply by
reading it, the copyright was infringed. I entered a suit at law, and my
copyright was protected.




RECUPERATIVE INCIDENT


Through four successive years I healed, preached, and taught in a general
way, refusing to take any pay for my services and living on a small
annuity.

At one time I was called to speak before the Lyceum Club, at Westerly,
Rhode Island. On my arrival my hostess told me that her next-door neighbor
was dying. I asked permission to see her. It was granted, and with my
hostess I went to the invalid's house.
