THE OBJECT

THE OBJECT ~
OF this Company Is to insure LIFE-not indeed
to prolong life-but by paying certain sum to the
benefciaries OF a policy when you die-thereby to
of your life to your dependents, after your life Is
terminated. .''#.
However we'll prepared man may be in sspir-
itual point Of view to meet the "kng Of terrors,
ing heart he can but look with sad forebodings 70
that finale Of his earthly career which Is 10 deprive
his fond wife and helpless children Of that support
and fostering care which his arm has furnished.
he shudders as his mental gaze looks within the
gloomy portals Of the grave and leaves behind
those whom he loved, as vagrants roaming the
friendless, thorny paths Of public charity! Yet,
alas how many do 1t |! when small present out
lay would gid their troublous road with ease and
comfort, If spent in Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der are you not liable to this sad death-bed reec
tion of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection
which we now urge upon you? II your mind
were easy on this subject; Ryou could feel when
were provided for, you would be relieved Of the
carking anxiety that fills every worthy mind at
such fears you would be better prepared to pur-
sue your avocation with mental composure and
zeal. We do not mean to assert thatmoney can fill
the place of fond father, yet we do assert what
you k,,o,u to be true-money will prove their best
earthly friend when you are gone and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living. .-... -.
Can you-will you refuse it? .- %
Business men are considered rather improvident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house mag 7euer be burned-it
may stand hundred years but your life cannot
last so long-your clamp Of life" must burn out
some day. You argue it Is prudent to insure g.
gainst uncertain m,isortunes to your property, and
yet neglect certain euent which toiU and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence of
Ix,ko
sity for the last. Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this opportunity to pro-
vide efectually for your family in case Of your
death, while you have 1t in your powerf And
chance-death is after you'll When once bis "rug-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread Of life the
chastity panorama Of want and suffering will be o.
pened to the signing hearts you took care Of while
you lived. Remember only while in health-be-
fore age, with attendant diseases come upon you
before you begin to Ioiter in sad sickness on the
verge Of the grave-only while hving-mentally
and physically living-can you obtain Life 1nsu-
rance Policy. Life is q vast feld-death Is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will dsarm him of his sting (for rei-
gion only can do tha) yet it will soothe your heav
ing bosom to know you have provided for your
family before that trying hour comes. By having
your life insured you ''disarm the sting" ofpoyer-
the wall Of suffering from some lone widow, while
she examines the merits Of this business, as her
shivering group stand around her scanty fire and
cry for bread cob that my husband had insur-
cd his life If he could have foreseen my lamen-
table state he would have done 80. He was kind
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to us but alas, how nlistakenl He
provided well for us while living; but If he had
insured his life, its benefits would have continued
to US now" Do not say this is fancy sketch, for
many such scene has really existed.
