Do you ever stop to think how truly marvelous is the Music of Nature?
The babbling brook, the murmuring trees, the singing birds, the ocean’s
roar, the peal of thunder, the crash of storm, the lowing cow, the
rustling grass;—all Nature sings. But how often we hear and failing to
understand, miss much of the joy of life.
It is only as we understand Nature, and our Brother, and Ourself, that
we begin to understand God. With that understanding we begin in reality
to live and to acquire.
“He who comprehends the nature of prayer” it has been said “bends not
the knee. He towers in majesty. He goes forth to meet his own. He
ascends the mount and speaks with God.”
Or, as Emerson put it, “The things that are really for thee gravitate to
thee.”
The world is full of good things that are intended especially for you.

receive the best.
You should be applying the benefits of the AUTOMATIC FINGER CONTROL
Method to actual daily playing, now. Are you doing so?
Just to learn a thing and then stick it away in the closet of your mind
is a poor investment of time, effort, and money. Put what you know into

success and commands reward! Without action, the law of “two plus two
equals four” would be an empty farce.
DO! And do the best you know.
