The imperative need of the protection

tire Death has stalked abroad in it's most
hideous forms: accidents of the most ter
rible character-some resulting from. nat
ural forces, others from the oarelessness
of man-have been recorded day by day.
Immunity has been accorded to none;
neither age, youth nor status has claimed
exemption--the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, have alike fallen be-
fore, the scythe of Deaths avenging
angel 1t is this uncertainty of life-the
converse of deaths certainty-that caus-
es those who reflect to avail themselves
of the benefcence of Life Insurance.
When death in its terrible swiftness en-
tiers household, the pangs of the suffer-
ing bereaved are sufficiently acute with
out being added to by any prospective
view of penury and want.
Life Insurance is duty; one of the
most sacred attaching to any bread-win-
ner, and terrible responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of those who are in
any way neglectful in this connection.

Your home company--the Union Mu-
tual-issues policies than which none are
more liberal; they are also of the most
varied character, with premiums as low
