CONDITIONS,
ASSURANCE.
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 comfort. perhaps in luxury are left in extreme poverty every year from the breadwinner 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.
