CORT OF INSURANCE.

The very essence of life insurance is safety and this can be secured only by reasonable premiums.

A great many Equitsblo polievholders aro doubtless asking themselves the question whether it will pay them to continue their policies. To such I wish to my most omphati cally that my investigation of the affics of the Society has convinced me that there is un cheaper way for las policyholders of the Fuitable to have sound life insurance than by retaining their policies. As I have pointed out, class invested apsu
