which is usually known by that name. No other com pany aside from the one I represent attempts to give life, preserve life, prolong life, insure life, or restore life at all. So far as life is insured, men have no more life when insured than when' uninsured. Insurance neither stays nor overcomes the power of death. The person insured receives nothing from the insurance company at his death. The company simply pays certain relatives'] of the de ceased a designated sum of money. The company whose agent I am, insures, both the here and the hereafter. A policy from this company means real abundant life now and “ in the world to come eternal life.” The company I represent actually gives life, eternal life, to.jthe insured. Permit me to tell you some interesting things about this wonderful insurance company. President i “ The King of kings, and Lord of lords” (1 Tim. 6 :15 )i. Actuary: The King’s Son (John 3 :16 ). Solicitor : The Spirit of Truth (John 14:16, 17). Main "O ffice: The Father’s House (John 14:2 ). All genuine policies are stamped with a blood-red seal. All applications are to be made personally to the President through the Actuary. Total number insured since the charter was taken out: “ A great multitude which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, arid tongues” (Rev. 7 :9 ). Paid-up capital: “ The unsearchable riches of Christ” (Eph. 3 :8) . : Collaterals: God’s boundless mercy and everlasting love (Psa. 103:17; Jdr. 31:3 ).

Securities and Stocks: “ Two immutable things”—-the oath and promise of God (Heb. 6:17, 18). Liabilities: “ Whosoever will may come” (Rev. 2 2 :17). Surplus over all liabilities: “ Able to ,do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3 :20). Many reasons may be given for insuring in the Ever lasting-Life Insurance Company. This company has never changed government. It is the oldest life insurance com pany in existence, having been in successful operation for about 6,000 years, in spite of the determined opposition of men and demons. This company has no test by med ical examiners. It is the only company which insures against the fires of the great judgment day, and against shipwreck in the River of Death. This company permits its policy-holders to travel and do business in any quarter off1the earth’ from the frozen climes of the North to the plague-infected regions of the South. It will insure a wage-earner on a dangerous machine, or a nurse in a cholera ward, as readily as those who follow any other calling. It insures a man for more than he is actually worth. W hat A re T he B en ef its ? The present'benefits .of this company are a hundred fold of things needful to; the body/ in houses, lands and friends; the Word of God (1 Cor. 2 : 14 ) ; “ the Bread of
A IT ING at a railway depot some time ago, I noted how earnest and determined an in surance agent was to get people to take out policies in the company he represented. I noticed that the agent was able to interest people in his proposition. I couldn’t help ask
ing myself the question: “ Why are God’s agents not more zealous in persuading people to take out policies in the greatest Life Insurance Company, the Everlasting-Life Insurance Company?” After a while this agent approached me. I informed him that I had never taken out any life insurance. He insisted that it was high time that I was giving the ques tion thought and taking action in the matter. He asked me if religious scruples kept me from taking .put a policy. I answered in the negative. He said that he had met a few Christian people who felt that ft was a lack? o f trust in God for one to take out life insurance,. I answered that I had also met a few people of this same type and was quite familiar with the Scriptures which they believe dis countenance life insurance, and that while I could not see just as these people did, I respected them in their con victions. I told the agent that I believed he represented a good company but that I was not ready to take a policy from any company. Mr. Agent then put up a good snappy talk concerning the uncertainty of life and the need of protec tion. He emphasized the folly and danger of delay in so vital a matter. He insisted upon the importance of tak ing action immediately. I then reminded him of the adage that turn about is fair play. I told him he had asked the favor of a little of my time and I asked the favor o f a little of his time. I told him I was an authorized agent for the best life insurance company on earth, I repre sented the “ Home and Everlasting-Life Insurance Com pany.” He admitted that he had ’not taken out a policy in this company.1 He said that I had been courteous and that he would gladly let me explain to him the merits of the “ Jehovah and Son Life Insurance Company.” I o f fered about the explanation which is given herewith. I am always telling Christian people that they ought to do per sonal work for Christ, and I thought I should take advan tage of this opportunity o f putting my own preaching into practice in talking for the King’s Insurance Company. T urn A bout Is F air P lay Men, in the absence of any desired good, naturally seek a. ¡substitute for it: - 'So if they cannot retain life, they con trive by ¡an associate or corporate action, to secure to their immediate relatives who are left behind them, some of those blessings which they would have secured had they been permitted to live to Carry out the plans they had formed. By paying a certain limited amount at stated times one is insured, and in case of his death, his heirs or legal representatives are entitled to a large amount on account of the insurance thus effected by him. This is a commendable scheme. I wish, however, to call your attention to a system of “ Life Insurance” more reliable and satisfactory, in every respect, than any system
