BEATS ALI. OTHER
PROFIT-SIIARING BUSINESSES


The Insurance Observer Of New
York comments upon the regularity
with which the established conserva-
tive participating companies have paid
dividends and cites the experience of
one company, the Massachusetts, Mu-
tual, as n fair example. 1t says:
Dividends continuously almost from
the dawn OF life insurance have been q
great potential in life insurance, work.
ing steadily toward a surcr stability.
Mutual companies do return substan-
tial dividends to policy holders and
those dividends do materially lessen
the cost of life insurance. Studying
the record of our oldest and most con-
servative companies the conclusion
presents Itself that dividend paying
moves with regularity that no other
profit sharing business can emulate
During the last 80 years me Massa-
chusetts Mutual has paid dividends
continuously and only once, in 1908.
was the dividend ratio to premium
less than 10 per cent. In that year II
was SAL and in all the other years Il
ranged between ll.29 and 2O.2S per
cent in 1915.
In 50 years the company paid sii,-
0Si,779 in dividends and received s2i4,-
39l 1856 in premiums, ratio for 20
years OF l6.S per cent.
While we are talking about the
various factors which have contributed
to the popularity OF life insurance
with the public why should We not
give their fir need OF credit TO the
type OF conservative, honestly manag-
ed companies OF which The Massachu-
sctts Mutual Is a fair spccimcn?-In-

SIN AND REDEMPTION
TOPIC OF SERMON BY
DIR. CHAS. c. WEITH

Mivart, an English scientist, said
some years ago, that man was far
ther removed from the monkey than
the monkey is from the grass This
certainly puts man in class far
from the animal. Tho creator surely
had different plan and destiny in
view when he created man. No animll
hungers for righteousness. from the
oldest records OF observation till now,
there is no evidence Of eveut slight
change in habits or methods of ami
mails or birds, unless man interferes.
each succeeding generation is like
its predecessor. Animals have made
no advancement nor evinced a desire
for Improvement. Not so with man.
Every man or woman desires rightc-
BUSINESS. Let one be ever so wicked
and scoff at religion, yet in the hour
of great peril or great sogTCw, that
one will turn to God for relief. Even
the basest and most degraded desire TO
have their loved dead buried, in the
sanctity of the church.
Manhood is not measured by clothes.
A tailor's model is not esteemed a
man esteemed solely because of his
manners, or money or even because OF
his morals alone. One may be moral
and get very selfish, the priest ana
the Levite who passed by the wound
ed man on the Jericho road were
probably both moral men. Man needs
something higher than morality TO
realize Gods purposes for humanity.
In Harmony With Law
To realize his real destiny man
must be in harmony with Gods law.
We speak of breaking the law of ma
ture but in reality we do not injure
the law. We break ourselves. If |
introduce poison into my stomach
the law of chemistry will act as usual
but l will suffer. 1t is also true with
spiritual affairs. Sin is a disease, 1t
is an injury TO me, like physical poi
son, and l need a physician to help
me. Sin is fatal to the whole race.
The sins of parents are often visited
npon the children. The guilt is with
the parents but the disease Of sin is
also with the children. | can readily
see that | am concerned, not only, in
what / do, but also in what my
neighbor does. The problem of sin
and suffering. None can solve this.
How came sin? How came pain? None
of US know but they are here and
they leave some blessings. We are
the stronger for having fought and
triumphed over sin. We appreciate
health more because We have been
sick. If everything was green, there
would be no beauty of color. II
there was but one note, there could
be no music. If there were no trials,
disappointmelts or unhappiness we
would not really be happy when all
goes well. We enjoy these things be-
cause they have overcome.
To help us in this great fight, to
help us TO overcome this deadly dis
ease of sin. God sent Jesus to show
US the way and provide a remedy
He was tempted at all points as we
ara, yet without sin. Even the basest
of men may be cured and made up
right and whde because of this Christ.
He is Gods messenger as well as re-
deemer to cure the race of men from
this deadly peril. In Christ is the
power to overcome sin, and this pow
er may be mine. He brings release
to the captive and liberty to the slave.

A. E. Hoffman, for 80 years butter
maker, famous for the unusual sweet
ness and delicacy of his butter, super
vises the making of Troco Nut Butter.
He puts in the same wonderful flavor.
He churns it from fat-freed milk, twice
pasteurized. He flavors it with the
same scientifically ripened milk which
made his butter famous for delicate
flavor.
He works in the new Troco plant,
built exclusively for the production OF
nut margarin. This plant provides him
with every possible facility, laboratory
and mechanical, for his exacting work.
With flavor superb, food value the
highest, and price right, Troco Nut
Butter finally solves the butter prob
lem. Accept the gift pound we offer,
and prove that we can't describe the
