Ready. Whatever Happens.

Work as though you were to live
forever; live as though you were to
die tonight" says an old writer. 1t is
counsel that fits many, though the
man whose life is well insured may
claim some exemption. He has no
need Of working as though death were
ready to come, for he has already an
ticipated and guarded his dependents
against the monetary distress that so
often trails in the grim visitors wake.

cies are tangible evidence Of his noble
forethought and readiness to die, II
need be, tonight.
