It these statements were from the widows or executors of policy-holders who ! had died, they would be significant, or, if they were from policy-holders who ! were satisfied with their assurance because it furnished protection, and gave them sufficient peace of mind to offset the burden of tho continuing annual premiums on their policies, they would be no more than reasonable assertions.
