Have you ever thought of the idea of turning your wife
over to. the care of an institution? Or of trying to secure
? pension of some kind for her? What preposterous
questions! you exclaim. You propose to take care of and
support her yourself, do you? You don't want her seeking
ia pension from anyone, you are quite able to provide toft
her with all the income * she needs and you don't ask help
fi'om the staten or any institution as long as you are s?ne
aijd can do a man's work, say you? And why should any
bhe ask such foolish questions.
Well, it does seem foolish. And yet, just a minute!
rY?u are% speaking of your wife. So were we. You say
-IK ;that |he needs no financial help from anyone but yourself. -,
: . ?Q?ftetrue. But suppose we substitute for the word wife
kh? word widow! Have you ever thought of her as your
; whjpw? Perhaps those are not such fool questions after
<;jfi}\} fihe WW be-your widow and day, perhaps twenty or
'.tjjfrtysyears hence, perhaps tdmorrow. How are you plan
: ^n|?g,io care for* her then, when your earning power shall
have stopped?
Are you going to let ber ?urn to the state for help and
: pjeud.for a widow's pension to keep her from want? Thous
arid'iTbf widows all over the country are doing it. Four
. teen states have passed laws establishing such funds within
the last year so there must be a call for them. Is your
wife, who is now looking so trustingly and proudly to you
."^ f?f her comfort and. happiness, to be, some day, one of
' . those widows petitioning an indifferent judge for a wid
ow's pension? ', J.* ! y. ..
Do yau realize that the day she becomes ^..wid-ow she is
also deprived of your earning cap?dty^'^i??1afies -n?Vef;'.'
find their'way across the grave. So if you are not a capi
talist and if your wife is dependent upon your daily earnings
these questions are no| quite so foolish as they at first
- appeared.
^Remember this, that your salary will never go to your
grave nor to your widow from your grave, but the proceeds
of a- continuous installment policy will without any doubt
whatever, go to her, year after year, unfailing in regularity,
. as~from'your grave, so long as she shall live.-Mutual In
terests.

"If all the world had A common lit

Thb members .of the American Bible
