From 9 to 10 A. M. we go into the Silence for our Eastern patients. Our
ten o'clock is nine o'clock for those living in the central time belt. At
11 A. M. it is nine for those in Denver or Rocky Mountain time region.
Thus we are in the Silence during the entire forenoon, but it is always
nine for the patient. Will you not arrange for treatment; you really look
very badly?"
"Not today." I pushed past her.
To my astonishment the woman followed me to the outer door, abruptly
changing her tone.
"I know very well why you don't get healed," she said. "You fill your mind
with antagonistic thoughts by reading papers that are fighting some one on
every page. You want to get into some kind of society where you can pay
$15 or $20 a week and get free healing, and you are disappointed because I
won't give you my time and strength for nothing, so that you can have the
money to go somewhere and have a good time. Oh, I know you society
people!"
By degrees her voice had lost its cooing tone and had risen to a shriek. I
was amazed--until I remembered the rival across the street, who was
probably watching me from behind closed blinds.
