Providence has brought tho institution into being to blesB tho race. Ho who refuses it, distrusts and despises Providence and invites its von goanco upon himself and bis household. Wo know ot no fallacy so transparent, no delusion moro groundless, than that which makes tho practice of Lifo Insurance appear as an attempt to controvert tho Divine will." Thonsands of widows and orphans live to attest tho diviue beneficence of LIFE INSURANCE. Without its protecting regis, many of thom would, to-day, bo beg? gars upon tho H troo13, or occupants of I poor-houses and penitentiaries. No man eau foretell what will bo his circumstances at thc time of his death. The rich man of I to-day dies tho pauper of to-morrow, and | the family, delicately reared, become tho unprepared victims of diro Want, with her I train of countless evils. Such a result is inpossible, with a policy of Lifo Insurance. It, indeed, offers the only absolutely safe I investment which can bc made for the benefit of ono's family and of bis own old age. All other investments may result in loss or ruin. If all would insuro, who can calc?lalo tho immense suffering and crime which the world would be sparedl ASTRA LIFE INSURANCE COMPA?
