Description: From the Preface: When I was told I could not live to bring up my children I decided to write a book to serve as a substitute in their lives. The task was to bridge the gap in education not filled by church or school, and to do so in a way that would develop individuals with ability and desire to find happiness and contentment in life. A first step toward such happiness, it seemed to me, was to learn to appreciate something of real permanence in life beyond and above the material things; a deep love of nature would do just that. To feel a sense of kinship with nature and thence the Universe, gives strength and confidence that belittle material losses and worldly ambitions. Fortitude and courage are further essential elements of character for fine living; and finally, a realization of the power and joy to be found in a true sense of the spiritual. To leave a chart or blueprint for guiding and teaching such a way of life I decided to talk to them in terms of thoughts from literature which I had found true and helpful in life. Condition of book: The book is in GOOD condition, please see photos.
