However well prepared man may be in spir-
tual point Of view to meet the 'king Of terrors,'
If he Re possessed ofa thoughtful mind and feel
ing heart he can but look with sad forebodings to
that finale Of his earthly which Is to deprive
his fond wife and helpless children of that support
and fostering care which his arm has furnished.
He shudders as bis 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 charityi Yet,
alas how many do it !! when small present out
ldy would gild their troublous road with case and
comfort, fspent In Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der areyou not liable to this sad death bed refec-
ton of the unseen trials you bequeath those you

Can you-will you refuse it2
Business men are considered rather improyident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire.. Now, your house mag never be burned-it
may stand hundred years !; but your life cannot
last 50 longIyour lamp Of Life" must burn out
gainst uncertain fortunes to your property, and
yet neglect certain event which ufI and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence Of
stty 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 it in your power? And
chance death Is after you! When once his "rug-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread OF ife the
ghastly 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 loiter in sad sickness on the
verge Of the grave-only while living-mentalIy
and physically lving-can you obtain Life Insu-
rance Policy. Life Is vast battlefield death is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him of his sting, (for re-
gon only can do that 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 "dsarm the sting' Of pover-
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
oHi n md har h..
cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband had insur-
ed his life Hhe 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 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.
