Get an Education

By C. C. L.

Getting an education is like saving money and placing it in the bank as capital for your life-work. There is this difference, however: money placed in the bank may be lost, but money invested in an education is safe for all time, and for eternity, too, if it be Christian education. Furthermore, it is not only safe, but is drawing big interest in character and power to do things, which can not be measured with money. A man in business without a working capital has “a hard row to hoe.” He has to buy everything on time, paying more for lack of cash. He misses good opportunities for want of money to seize them when they come. So it is with him who enters upon the work of life without a good education. He lives from hand to mouth, and can not take advantage of opportunities because he has not the preparation to fill positions as they open to him. Men in middle and advanced life continually regret that they did not get an education when they were young. Young man, young woman, profit by their experience, and enter school now.
