THE NEGLECT OF LIFE ASSURANCE. THE

HERE is no feature of our civilised life that strikes a thoughtful man with more force than the neglect of LIFE ASSURANCE. By payment of a small quarterly subscription any man of good health can secure a very large sum to his family in case of premature death, yet hundreds of families brought up in confort BAGS, TEA COSIES, TABLE MATS, D'OYLIES, perhaps in luxury-are left in extreme poverty every year from the bread winner having neglected to assure his life. In the East many a man lives up to his income, knowing well that if death cut him off suddenly, his wife and children would be left almost wholly unprovided for: All this can be prevented by Life

Assurance.
