The Mentor on the Ranch
I want to let you know how this little ranch-woman has enjoyed her part in The Mentor Course. I would not take the influence of the pictures alone out of my family for many times the cost. I am deeply interested in all the subjects, but Nature comes first. When my husband and I ride among the whispering pines far up the sides of El Capitan or through the dainty ferns in some deep canyon, where only the tops of the dark towering firs know what the day is like, and the tiny streams slip swiftly and songfully over and through the rocks, I feel the quieting presence of God—and all the worrisome, tawdry business of life sinks down into the unimportant place where it really belongs. I wish The Mentor all profit and success in the good work it is doing in bringing people nearer to the real, big things of the world.

Just a Word About Railroads and Mails
The railroads are in an unprecedented condition of congestion, and the mail trains, carrying second-class matter, are from two to eight days late in arriving at their destinations.
If you do not receive your copy of The Mentor on the day it is due, please do not take it for granted that you have been neglected. Your copy is probably being held up somewhere along the line. Wait a few days before you write us; it will save us both a great deal of trouble, and your copy will probably be delivered to you before we can reply to your letter.
We wish it were in our power to prevent this annoyance, but as we are helpless, we can only ask you to be patient and considerate.
