Did you ever look at it in this Iight? Between two days
you become unassurable. One day you are assurable the
next you cannot secure assurance at any price. This is true
not alone of you, but of every man. There comes a time in
his life when, between two days, he becomes unassurable. Do
you know when your day will come? Do you know that it
isn't to day?
You may have assurance now. You may have taken it
less than a year ago perhaps only a month ago and yet ycu
may be unassurable to-day. You passed the medical examina
tion then possibly you couldn't do it now.
