''In the land of Egypt there was bread"
say this was the first life insurance
company.
1t was divinely organized. 1t had in
1t all the advantages of the "whole life
pIan," of the ''tontine PLAN" of the
'eudowment plap," and all the other
good plans. We are told that Rev. DR..
Anhate, of Lincolnshire, England,
originated the first life insurance com
pany in 1893. No; it is as old as the corn
cribs of Egypt, and God himself was
the author and originator. If that
were not so 1 would not take your time
and mine in q Sabbath discussion of
this subject; L feel it is a theme vital,
religious and of infinite import--the
morals Of life and fire insurance. 1t
seems to me that 1t is time for the pull
pit to speak out. But what does the BIZ
Bile say in regard to this subject?
II the Bible favors the institution |
will favor it; If the Bible ~denouuces it
L will d%enounce it. In addition to the
forecast OF Joseph in the text, l call to
your attention Paul's comparison.
Here is one man who, through neglect,
fails to support his family while he
lives, or after he dies. Here is another
man who abhors the Scripture and re-
jects God. Which of these men is the
worse? Well, you say the latter. Paul
says the former. Paul says that a man
who neglects to care for his household
is more obnoxious than a man who re-
jects the Scriptures. "He that pro.
videth not for his own, and especially
those of his own household, is worse
than an inidel." Life insurance COM
panies help most of us to provide for
our families after we are gone.
But ii we have the money to pay the
premiums and do not pay the premiums
we have no right to expect mercy at
the hand of God in the Judgment.
We are worse than Tom Paine, worse
than Voltaire, and worse than Shaft
esbury. The Bible declares it; we are
worse than an infldel. After the certi-

is nothing left. That means the chill
dren are to come home from school and
20 to work. That means the complete
hardship of the wife, turned out with
nothing but a needle to fight the great
battle of the world. Tear down the
lambrequins, close the piano, rip up
the Administer, sell out the wardrobe,
and let the mother take a child in each
hand ana trudge out into the desert of
the world. A life insurance policy
would have hindered all that.
The utter Indifference OF many peo-
pie on this important subject ac-
counts for much of the crime and pau
perism Of this day. Who are these
children sweeping the crossings with
broom and begging Of you a penny as
you go by? Whose are those lost souls
gliding under the gas-light in thin
shawls2 All! they are the victims of
want; and, in many of the cases, the
forecast of parents and grandparents
might have prevented 1t. God only
knows how they struggle to do right.
They prayed until the tears froze on
their cheeks, they sewed on the sack
until the breaking Of the day, but they
could not get enough money to pay the
rent, they could not get enough money
to decently clothe themselves, and one
day, in that wretched home, the angel
OF purity and the angel of crime fought
a great fight between the empty
bread-tray and the ~fireless hearth, and
the blackwinged angel shrieked; "Aha!
L have won the day"
Says some man: 81 believe what you
say; it is right and Christian, and l
mean sometime to attend to this mat
ter" My friend, you are going to lose
the comfort of your household in the
same way the sinner loses heaven, by
procrastination. L see all around me
the destitute and suffering families OF
parents who meant some day to attord
to this Christian duty. During the

than that, L don't know what it is; and
yet there are good m who are in
different in regard to their husbands
duty IN this respect, and there are
those positively hostile, as though q

fatality. There is in this city today a
very poor woman keeping q small
candy shop, who vehemently opposed
the insurance of her husbands life land
when application had been made for a
policy of $4,000 she frustrated it. She
would never have q document in the
house that implied 1t was possible for
her husband ever to die. One day, in
the quick revolution of machinery, his
life was instantly dashed out. What is
the sequel?
She is, with annoying tug, making
the half of q miserable Her two
children have been taken away from
her in order that they may be clothed
and schooled, and her life is to be a
prolonged hardship. o man, before

life insurance companies, have the
stethoscope of the physician put to
Jour heart and lungs, and by the seal
OF some honest company decree that
your children shall not be subjected to
the humiliation of financial struggle in
the dark day of our demise.

Let him appoint officers over the
land, and take up the fifth part of the
land of Egypt N the seven plenteous
years.-GEN. ABA.
THESE were the words of Joseph,
the president of the first life insurance
company that the world ever saw.
Pharaoh had a dream that distracted
him. He thought he stood on the
banks of the river Nile, and saw COM
ing up out of the river seven fat, sleek,
glossy COWS, and they began to browse
in the thick grass. Nothing frightful
about that. But after them, coming up
out of the same river, he saw seven
COWS that wore gaunt and starved, and
the w~orst-looking COWS that had ever
been seen in the land, and in the ferocity
OF hunger they devoured their seven fat
predecessors. Pharaoh, the king, sent
for Joseph to decipher these midnight
hieroglyphics. Joseph made short
work of 1t, and intimated hat the
seven fat COWS that came out Of the
river were sever years with plenty to
eat; the seven emaciated COWS that fol-
lowed them were seven years with moth
ing to eat. 'Now," said Joseph, ''let
us take one-ffth of the corn crop of the
seven prosperous years, and keep it as
a provision for the sever years in
which there shall be no corn crop"
The king took the counsel ard ap-
pointed Joseph, because of his integ-
rity and publ!c-spiritedness, as the
president OF the undertaking. The
farmers paid one-fifth of their income
as a premium. In all the towns and
cities of the land there we're branch
houses. This great Egyptian life in
surance company had millions OF dol
lars as assets, Aft r a while the dark
days came, and the whole nation would
have starved If it bad not been for the
provision they had made for the fu.
ture. But now these suffering families
have nothing to do but go up and col
lcct the amount Of their life policies.
The Bible puts it in one short phrase:
