The Rainy Day-Life Insurance.

III We save something Tor q rainy
day. when but little work can be
done, should We not save something
more for the day when no msn can
work ? We all have our cloudy and
rainy days, but as we grow older,
the days become darkier and rainier
until not only our days work but oul
life's work is done. The little folks
are wisest. The squirrel lays ur
his stores, and the bee makes play ol
busy work, through all the summer
sunshine, that want may not come in
the winter. There ere thousands OF
us, who should stop and consider
whether we and our families are pre-.
pared for the rainy autumn and that
dark winter of life which no spring
ever dawns upon. You and may
be rich in the best elements of ha2pi.
ness-rich in the love and confidence
of wife and children and friends; /;
and while we have the active brain
and quick hand, We and ours may
also be rich in the comforts of life
But perhaps " e may have little or no
accumulaiions Ii we-the head OF
the housershould be taken away,
the wolf might soon be st the door,
and our loved ones become the vic
Tins of want and poverty, or worse.
Our benevolence should prompt us
to guard against the occurrence of
these evils to any one, and our duty
should compel US to prevent the pos
sibility of their infliction upon those
who have right to our guardianship
and support.
If we have an amount of ofperishable
property ct risk, whose loss would
be an inconvenience to our estate, we
always insure it. We are not only
the property of our families, land
perishable at that. more than any
other kind of property, but Oe are
the producing po,eer. II our houses
or goods are burned, we may build
more and earn more but if we are
lost, everything is gone. If it is
necessary to insure our buildings
and merchandise for our own benefit
how much mere to insure our lives,
which make goods and merchandise,
for the benefit of our families. live
are prosperous, full-paid policy is
an investment for the future, that is
beyond any contingency. II we are
poor, a dollar more or less per week
secures::a handsome sum at later
period. What should we think of
the sailor who goes to sea without
because it is fair weather
when. he sails, and what should we
think of the husband and father who
makes no provision for wife and chill
1ren because he is well to-day, al
,hough he knows be NAV not be
alive tomorrow
Formerly, it was difficult to obtain
life Insurance in responsible compa-
lies. There were those which prom
sed large dividends and advantages,
Without any sufficient guarantee II
life insurance should be perfect IL
secure beyond all risks or chances
A company should not only have q

ability. We believe that
