Pay AS You Enter
BY MRS. LAvONIA HARMON

On some street cars there is the
sign PAY as you enter. 1t would
be good thing if that sign were
pasted over every car in life. For
you get only what you pay for and
pay for in advance. Many people
would like to be great pianistS. They
would enjoy the applause. But
the only person who will be a
great pianist is the one who first
pays the price-the price or de-
votion, study and hard work.
After the price is paid one may
Ibe famous or he may not be, but
in any case, one pays before he
gets on. You pay for everything
in this world and the cheapest
things are those that cost the most.
All arrangements for deferred pay
mentS in time simply mean pay
ments of a larger sum. Perhaps
that is the reason the Master
said, IF any man shall come af-
ter me, let him first take up his
cross Even the matter of eternal
life. e.
