Life Insurance.

rather than TO come short of it. lie

prudent, and can, without any doubt,

ance company can.
How then can it be considered a
good investment, or why should he

care of that which he can so easily
manage himself?

sent the ordinary life plan" There
are several other plans--as the en-
dowment plan and the income pro-

the policy holder, Is about the same.
The holders Of the policies or their
families, receive but an undue pro-
portion of the sum that is made up
of the premiums paid aud its accu.

qulred to pay Office EXPENSE salaries,

iners and advertisements? OF course
every policy holder pays his propur~

Bishop Whitehouse rebuked, with
great disccrnment and Judgment,
the attempt of some brazen life in
surance agent to get his clerical life
insurance dodge sanctioned by vote
of the Episcopal General Council.
He remarked that, before recon-
mending particular schemes of life
insurance, IL would be well to investi.
gate the merits of life insurance it,
self, on which there is much room
for doubt. The Bishop has doubt

which show that, of seven dollars

ciGs that come to an end, only one
ends by death, the insured in the
other twenty two deriving on adj
vantage from what they have paid
in, and yet, Notwithstanding the
great cost OF this form OF insurance
in proportion to the value returned,
the companies, as Il whole, have not
assets equal to their existing liabiii
ties To the Insured on the reinsurance

allowed to be counted as part of their
reserved funds; a system of insur.
ance which led to the failure of over
seventy English life insurance com
panies within two years, and an
utter collapse of the business there.
Bishop Whitehouse has recently re-
turned from the scene of the wreck
of these companies. aud has more
conservative opinions on the merits
of this great confidence business
than some Of his younger clerical
brethren. .- ErchdHge.
