carking anxiety that fills every worthy mind at
such fears you would be better prepared to pur-

Can you-will you refuse it?
Business men are considered rather improyident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may ,,eper be bnrned-it
last 80 long-your clamp Of !" must burn out
some day. You argue 1t is prudent to insure a.
gainst ,aeeTtatn zntsortunes to your property and
yet neglect certain event which toiu and must
come to your body Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence OF
the first but assert the greater wisdom and neces-
stty for the last. Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this opportunity to pro-
vide ehectually for your family In case of your
death, while you have 1t in your power? And
bear In mind-now, this moment may be your last
chance-death is after you! When once bis "rug-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread Of the
ghastly panorama OF want and suffering will be %
pened TO the sighlng 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 loiter in sad sickness on the
verge Of the grave -only while living mentally
and physically hving-can you obtain Life Insu-
rance Policy. Life Is vast battle feld-death is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him of his sting, or re-
ing bosom to know You have provided for your
family before that trying hour comes. BY having.
your life insured you "disarm the sting ofpover-
ty and want to them. We imagine now we hear
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 "Oh! that my husband had insur-
ed his life nhe could have foreseen my lamen-
table State he would have done so. He was kind
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to us but alas, how mistaken! He
provided well for as while living; but II he had
insured his life, its benefits would have continued
to US now" Do not say this is fancy sketch, for
many such q scene has really existed. -
