THE OBJECT
OF this Companyis to insure LIFE-not indeed
to prolong life-but by paying certain sum to the
continue the exertions, investments and benefits
Of your life to your dependents, after your life is
terminated.
However well prepared man may be in q spir-
itual point Of view to meet the "kng Of terrorsn.
II he be possessed ofa thoughtful mind and a feel
ing heart, he can but look with sad forebodings to
that finale Of his earthly career which Is to deprive
his fond wife and helpless children Of 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 a small present out
lay would gid their troublous road with ease and
comfort, If spent In Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der, you not liable to this sad death refec
ton Of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind, by neglecting this cheap psoteetton
were easy on this subject; il you could feel when
you "shuf1e off this mortal coir your family
were provided for, you would be relieved of the
sch woud sssyr MeFny at
sue your avocation with mental composufe and
zeal. We do not mean to assert atpdoney can I'LL
the place OF fond father, yet we, do assert what
you k,'o'o to 6e t,ue-money win prove theit best
earthly friend when you are gone; nnd you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living. ~ -.
Can you-will you refuse itf :i'.a -:
Business men are conside ratherimprovi
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may never 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 nis1ortunes to your properly and
yet neglect certain euent which i0ill 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 eces-
you doing right to neglect this opportunity topro-
vide effectually for your family in case Of your
death, while you have it in your power7 And
bear in mind-now, this moment may be your last
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life the
ghastly panorama of want and suffering viii 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 yon begin to loiter in sad sickness tho
verge Of the grave-only while fundamentally
and physically liying-can You obtain a 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, flor re
Fgion only can do thaa yetit will soothe your heaS-
Ing bosom TO know you have provided for your
your life insured you "disarna the sting' Of fpoyer-
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
SmVer1nS group stand around her Scanty hre and
cry for bread: "Ohi that my husband had insur-
ed his life If he could have foreseen my lamen-
table state he would have done 30. He was kind
and good to all, and supposed that all would bo
provided well for US while living but ifthe 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. 9t-' -
