! A PREACHER PREACHES LIFE INSURANCE He is not the first, nor is he the last. Many pastors have urged the value and necessity of life insurance. But Dr. J. E. Hughson, a Scotch minister, has given utterance to a message that was broadcast in Great Britain and that is worthy of serious consideration. He says it better than we could say it. Therefore we quote from his address: “I am not an insurance agent, but there are things I feel I ought to say, and every time a young man comes before me at the marriage altar, I feel like saying to him that he ought to give his bride a substantial insurance policy. You have no right to take a girl from a position where she may be earning her own living, and tie her up to you and later tie her down to a family of little children who would make it difficult for her to go out and earn livelihood again, unless you give her some protection and security if anything should happen to you. Before you buy her a car, buy her an insurance policy, and after you buy the car you will need insurance all the more in these days of highway fatalities. Get her a policy before you get her a piano. Put first things first, then let the other things come along if you can afford it. “There are two exigencies of life that should be met by every man to the limit of his ability. One is the protection of his wife and family if he should die. The other is the protection of his old age if he should live, and modern life insurance provides for these exigencies with its death claims and its annuity schemes. “I know why I urge you thus. It is my duty as a minister to stand by the flower-decked altar and the flower-covered coffin; to play my part in setting up the home in the hour when it is broken, and in the days that follow I see the difference between the widowed mother who is left penniless, and the mother who is helped through the hardest years by the proceeds of an insurance policy; between the home where the mother can take care of her children, and the home where they must be left alone, or to the care of others while she goes out to earn a living; between the children who have her guiding care, and the children who grow up as best they can, and the juvenile courts know the difference too. “The Lord may provide, but it may be a washtub for your wife to sweat over, or a room in a dingy tenement for your children to live in, or public charity to support your family. God does not put a premium on your thoughtlessness or neglect. If you could not provide for them and did your best, you may trust them to the God who said, ‘Leave my fatherless children and I will preserve them,’ but if you could provide for them and did not, you may slip out, but your children will pay the price. If I could not be a minister, I would want to be a life insurance agent, from the standpoint of the god that I could do. The minister cannot always save the fatherless and the widow from loneliness and sorrow but the life insurance man can rescue them from poverty and need and lift the fear from their hearts.” City Captain Named Head of Police Unit Bethlehem Traffic Capt.
