Insurance Not Measured by

There are people who measure the

bulk were necessary to intrinsic value
the earth could not contain its choicest
treasures. Yet we see the theory adj
vanced and accepted that in life In
surance merit depends upon size.
As well believe that the quality OF
the cloth and the avoirdupois Of the
salesman who measures 1t of are
correlated as that the merit Of the
indemnity 1t sells is regulated or con-
trolled by the volume Of business that
. life insurance company writes, the
amount Of outstanding obligations
1t has, or the number Of countries In
which 1t does business.
The old woman who could afford to
sell her goods at loss because she
sQld such large quantity, may be
taken as the type Of insurance COM
panies which claim to be better be-
cause they are bigger. And when it
is observed that the size Of o life in
snrance company Is measured by its
obligations, the merit Of magnitude
becomes the more equivocal. The
company known as the largest has
NEARLY one and three quarter billion
dollars obligations, and only about
$50 million dollars assets. 1t follows
that the company which succeeds in
building up the largest business, in
getting the largest number Of policy
holders. in piling up the greatest
amount Of insurance in force. is not
necessarily the best company nor the
most entitled to confidence.
Those who preach the gospel Of size
% regards life insurance are theorists,
with such facts as are yet available
to their theories. Il Insurance

o'clock, in the midst Of the services
at the Congregational church, fire
broke out in the basement Of the
building, and much damage woul1
have been done had it not been dis
covered in time.
Smoke in large quantities began to
pour up through the floor into the
auditorium, and Pastor r T. Cross,
realizing that there was a fire in the
basement, dismissed his congregation
and the church was soon emptied
without any excitement.
An investigation proved that the
heat from one of the furnace pipes
had ignited the woodwork in the
basement, and the flames were max
ing good headway An alarm was
turned in, the department responding
in quick order. One Of the small
chemical extingulshers was used to
put out the fire, apd the damage viii
amount to only a few dollars.
