Cornelius B. Smith of the State Insurance
Department. after passing through an agon
ling ordeal. ami having been abandoned by
his friends, had been most wonderfully res
cued. His experience was in its beginning
at least, almost the same as that of hundreds
of other men and women in every city and
town. He had gone along thoughtlessly
noticing only occasional Inconvenience, and
had suddenly been awakened to the fact that
death was staring him in the face. He had
overlooked lutte. passing troubles Withou;
realizing tina, they are often 1.-The beginning
of the end" He had neglected interess
that concerned his very life, just as thousands
of others do, simply because they come in a
quiet and often unnoticed way. And il is
cause for gratitude that his experience is
