The principle of Life Assurance has now become the moral compass ofthe thoughtful and the provident , steadily indicating the path towards prosperity and competence . It has established an empire more powerful than that of autocrat or monarch in many a breast ; it has become a subject of universal ancl engrossing interest ; it is itself assured ; only the
