UNDERWRITERS MEET.
Vigorous Advocacy Of Life Insurance, in an
Address.
GREAT EDITORS SCORED FOR IGNORANCE


Milwaukee. wis, Sept. 16.--At the
morning SESSION OF the National AS
ISOLATION of Underwriters, j. T. De-
boer, secretary and actuary Of the Ma
tional Life Insurance company Of
Montpelier. VT. delivered an address
on THE relation OF Public Opinion to
Insurance"
He said that life insurance had got
beyond the stage of needing apology
from those who advocated 1t and had
become matter requiring apology on
the part of any respectable citizen who
did not carry insurance on his life. The
fair opinion OF public won by the COM
panles represented in this convention
might be considered one 81 the most
valuable assets OF life insurance COM
panies. 1t should be guarded with the
utmost care.
They regarded the editorial COM
menta in some we'll known papers and
took occasion to score the great edi-
tors of the country for their ignorance
on the subject. The address was
largely devoted to the best methods
Of management and the necessity Of
strictly honest, fair and deliberate
methods, not only in selecting risks.
but in the management of the funds
anu lAlt EtifEHl Ipitcy Hubpltu IL
believed that the life Insurance husl-
ness would stand the test OF public
Investigation, and come from the trial
with public approval
The report of the executive COM
mittee on n resolution of w. II. Dyer
Of Mass. in regard to the expunging
of part of the article which provides
for reference of all matters to the
executive committee before decision,
was read by the secretary. The COM
mittee reported unfavorably on the
resolution and on motion the commit
tees report was adopted. This leaves
the matter as It stood before Mr..
Dyer's resolution.
The treasurer's report showed: Total
receipts, Sl,635; disbursements, 500;
balance on hand OF 1886
The fight for the next convention

Minneapolis and Indianapolis. Thos.

Book Of Mormon, and the testimonies
and lives Of the three men whose tes-
timonles are published In every Book
OF Mormon that has been given to the
world.
In the afternoon the local and ger
eral authorities Of the Church were
presented and sustained. after which
President Cannon preached n most
powerful discourse upon the Import
ance of giving heed to the living or
acles OF God. He showed how that
all this people possessed and had been
admired for, had come to them az the
result of u proper respect and obedi-
ence to the authority of God. Men
there had been who had sought to
weaken the influence Of the Priest
hood, but they had either, TO repent OF
their sins or be cut OFT from the
Church.
In the evening another large con-
gregatiun listened to excellent dis
courses by President Cannon and Ell
der Young.
Altogether our conference was one
OF the finest that we have ever had.
ana the people feel grateful for the
excellent admonitions received.
