THE TRUE RELATION OF THE WO-
MEN OF THE STATE TO A GREAT
NORTH CAROLINA BUSINESS
NOW IN IT'S INFANCY

OF all the various lines of business
which make up our commercial life
there is none that is of such vital in
terest to women as that of life insur-
ance. The history of the world will
never record a greater achievement
in the line of organized benevolence
| than the great business of life insur-
ance. The chief beneficiaries of this
| business, whose protecting arm is now
| thrown around the whole civilized
world, are the women and children,
and it's blessings have been SO mani
| fold and it's utility so we'll established
that the man who does not avail him.
| self of the protection which it affords
| for those who are dependent upon
| him is coming to be regarded as
| shiftless, if not criminal. With the
| progress of education the time is COM
| ing when hostility to life insurance
will become a badge of insurance.
It is an astonishing fact that one of
| the most serious obstacles to the eX-
| tension of the business of life insur-
ance is the prejudice of good women
| who entertain a sentiment against it.
| a sentiment which does more credit
| to their hearts than to their heads. A
man who has a w ifeand children de-
pendent upon him for their support,
and who runs the risk of this support
being taken away from them at any
| time by his death. and who does not
| protect them from such d calamity
| through the great beneficient cooper
ative agency of life insurance, is either
unthinking or unfeeling. and no wo-
| man should make herself a party t1
| such shiftlessness and folly by a sem
| timental opposition to life insurance.
In North Carolina there is life in
| surance company which can give the
same absolute protection which can be
| had through the "olicies of the great
metropolitan companies. Its business
| is on the old line legal reserve plan
with a surplus to polfcyholders of over
$3.50, 100000. Every dollar received by
| this company for life insurance prem
| iums is invested in North Carolina and
| not dollar leaves the State. In no
other way can the resources of the
State be SO successfully husbanded and
| it's wealth and prosperity increased as
| by fostering such institutions as these
| intead of sending our money abroad
| for things which we can buy Just as
profitabY at home. This company is
| the Southern Loan and Trust Com
panY, of Greensboro, n. c.. which has
| made d remarkable financial record
and which is RAPIDLY becoming one
| of the strongest financial institutions
| in the South Correspondence is in
tied with any one desiring VITO apply
| for life insurance. or to enter the field
| of life insurance soliciting.

COMPENSATION.

You go forth in the sunlight
To fight in the battle Of life
While l sit lonely in shadow
Too frail for the din and the strife.
Yet the sight of your splendid courage
Gives me strength in my forced re-
straint,
While the thought of my life's denial
Makes you patient with those who
faint
So each from the life of the other
Gains the virtue for which we long.
You, through my weakness, grow ten

And /, through your courage, am
