Not IF
But WHEN.

1t is IF your house should burn down.
1t is only question of WHEN you shall
die. Yet you insure your house against
very remote POSSIBLE loss by fire.
How far more essential it is to protect
your family against the consequences of
an event which is inevitable.
A fire premium is business EXPENSE.
A life premium is a family INVESTMENT.
The former is tax for safety, the latter
is deposit on account of a future estate.
Houses protect your family from the
cold Of winter. Life insurance protects
them from poverty in case of your
death. Address,

Willie-"I dreamed, papa, that I died and
went to heaven; and when st. Peter met
me at the gate, instead of showing me the
way to the golden streets, as I expected, he
took me out into a large fed, and in the
middle of the field there was a ladder
reaching away up into the sky and out of
sight Then ST. Peter told me that heaven
was at the top, and that in order to get
there l must take the big piece of chalk
he gave me and slowly climb the ladder,
writing on each rung some sin 1 had COM
mtted.''
Papa Qaying down his newspaper)-"And
did you finally reach heaven, my SOM"
Willie-"No, papa, for just as I was try
ing to think of something to write on the
second rung l looked up into the sky and
saw you coming down.
Papa-"And what was 1 coming down for
pray?"
Wiliie-"That's just what 1 asked you.
