| = VIII IeleI 10 the articles
winch have appeared on page II since
October goth, they will find that we
nave discussed Life Insurance from
many points of view.
We have tried to convince the women
especially that Life Insurance is the best
possible protection for a bride to save
ler from woes unspeakable in time of
| trouble
II has been shown that a good sized
Lie Insurance is the most valuable
wedding present that parents can give
their children. A Life Insurance policy
VIII be a guarantee against the worst
that can happen and grows more valuable
the older 1t becomes The cost of carry
ing the policy is but little and there is
no danger of its being stolen or depre-
Grating like stocks, bonds, Jewels, cases
OF silver and perishable things, which are
gwen by doting parents to their daugh-
tiers and sons when they marry and leave
the parental roof
We have endeavored to show that
mans obligation to provide for his own
originated in Biblical times and is the
same to-day and will continue to be
eVermore. Through the generous pro-
visions of Life Insurance companies that
obligation can be more easily discharged
than ever before in the history of man
kind
We have emphasized the Importance
OF Life Insurance to women first on
account of their natural position as
wives and mothers, which, in most
cases, makes them dependent upon their
husbands for protection from the mis-
fortunes OF life, their inexperience in
business affairs as a rule and their in
ability to cope with men in complicated
affairs, the advantage it would be to
women if when they are suddenly thrown
on their own resources they were the
benefciaries of good Life Insurance that
they would receive without embarrassing
legal contests or other difficulties.
Again we have given some of the
vital points concerning Life Insurance
We called attention to the Ordinary
Life Insurance which is payable on
the death of the policy-holder to the
persons mentioned in the policy
The Endowment Life Insurance, )"
another form, is one which is paid either
to the benefciaries in the event of death
during the endowment period or to the
insured at the expiration of the term
selected, This form of Insurance might
also be called a Saving or Investment
Security Insurance because the premiums
are so arranged that person holding
such policies can Systematically save
the amount named in the policy and at
the expiration of the time denominated
the whole amount would be paid to him
or to his. heirs if he should die before the
maturity of the policy.
We have explained the difference be
tween a mothers love which is wise and
good and which tries to provide for the
future of her children, namely: for their
education and start in life and
love which expresses itself in indulgence,
empty embraces and endearing words.
Examples have been given showing how
easy this can be done with proper fore
thought and systematic economy.
We have attempted to show parents
that they can start their children on the
right road in life if they will give them
an example and little practical training
along economic md prudent lines, con-
vincing them tlat as LARGE Life In
surance as they can carry is the surest
way to save something for the emer-
gencies unavoidable in life.
We trust we have persuaded at least
some -vO11Do DerSOnS that IT is UOSSib1e
