I am obliged to doubt that the three-dollar Science and Health costs Mrs.Eddy above fifteen cents, or that the six dollar copy costs her above eighty cents.

I feel quite sure that the average profit to her on these books, above cost of manufacture, is all of seven hundred per cent.
Every proper Christian Scientist has to buy and own (and canvass for) Science and Health (one hundred and eighty thousand words), and he must also own a Bible (one million words).

He can buy the one for from three to six dollars, and the other for fifteen cents.

Or, if three dollars is all the money he has, he can get his Bible for nothing.

When the Supreme Being disseminates a saving Message through uninspired agents--the New Testament, for instance--it can be done for five cents a copy, but when He sends one containing only two-thirds as many words through the shop of a Divine Personage, it costs sixty times as much.
