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.
