THE OBJECT
OF this Company Is to insure LIFE-not indeed
to prolong life-but by paying acertain sum to the
beneficiaries Of policy when you die-thereby to
continue the exertions, investments and benefits
Of your life to your dependents after your life is
terminated.
However well prepared a man may be in aspir-
itua point Of view to meet the skiing Of terrors,"
II he be possessed ofa thoughtful mind and feel
ing heart he can but look with sad forebodings to
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
fiendless, thorny paths Of public charity! Yet,
alas how many do it I! when small present out
lay would gild their troublous road with ease and
comfort ifspent in Life Insurance Policy Rea-
der you not liable to this sad death bed refec-
ton 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; If you could feel when
you Ou H3lS luOIIdl COLL your IAuuy
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 ayocation with mental composure and
the place Of fond father, yet we do assert, what
you kaou to be true-money will prove their best
earthly friend when you arc gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living.
Can you-will you refuse it9
Business men are considered rather improvident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may neuer 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 a.
gainst uncertain naisfort,nes to your property and
yet neglect certain euent which 1ciu and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudencef We admit and assert the prudence Of
the first, but assert the greater wisdom and neces-
sity for the last. Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right TO neglect this opportunity to pro-
vide effectually 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 ife" the
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 loiter in sad sickness on the
verge Of the grave-only while living ng-mentally
rance Policy. Life is vast battlefield is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him Of his sting (for reli-
gion only can do tha yet 1t 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" 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 I Hhe could have foreseen my lamen-
table state he would have done 30. 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 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.
