Brilliant Jsdemeat.

A friend of the writer in gratuit-
ously passing his opinion on frater-
nal beneficiary societies said they
were all right in their way, but
he prererred to carry old line in
surance because he could always
realize something on his policy if
he needed it. Upon inquiry it was
learned that he was carrying $3,-
600 in one of the older fraternal
beneficiary societies, for which he
was paying, including Lodge dues
and per capita tax, $40 per year.
He was also carrying $1,000 in the
New York Life, for which he was
paying SIG per year, and had
been doing so for six years. He
wanted to make a loan from the
New York Life on his policy, and
this company magnanimously gave
him $36o-the maximum amount
he could receive on a draw. Let's
see. In six years he has paid the
New York Life for 5000 insurance
$6o6. This grand philanthropic
institution gave him back $500 of
his own money, leaving his bare
insurance costing him 1896. In the
fraternal society in six years he
had paid in $24o, or 800 less than
in the old line company for the
same thing. If the old line en-
thusiasts with an ounce of gray
matter in their craniums would
only realize that what they draw
out of an old line institution is but
a part of their own money which
the company has been using all
the time without paying them an
interest they would cease their
addle pated rawlings over the So
called advantages of carrying such
policies.-7He Samaritan.

II Is Bread Money.

A minister of Milwaukee in a
recent sermon on life insurance,
spoke as follows: CHARITY is
charity" No matter how warm it
may be, there is always an element
of cold comfort in it when brought
home to our own families. Some
men seem to be perfectly insensi-
BILE to the possible needs of others.
They follow out a selfish and mar
row-minded policy. Among the
worst of men must ever be ranked
those who wilfully refuse to pro-
vide for their families.
81 would advise mothers of fam
lilies to SO importune their hus-
bands that life insurance would be
the only condition of domestic
peace. OH but it costs so much!
This is an excuse that springs
from shiftlessness. 1t does not
cost FIVE cents per day for $1,000
insurance certificate. What is SEC
a year to a man who spends double
that amount to crafty his whims?
Usually those who are alarmed at
the expense have more money to
squander in some life destroyer
than in life insurance. But life
insurance money is blood money!
No; it is bread money. And the
man who needlessly denies it to
his family is unworthy to have
family. Therefore, when God com
manded us not to serve wealth as
a false God He did not say that
wealth could not serve us."-Ne
