Humanity Cannot Insure Its Own Life
Humanity can not insure life, altho they have life insurance companies. They can not assure continued existence, altho they have life assurance companies. If a man pays sufficiently long, he may get the return of a part of what he has paid into the company. If he dies, his relatives are supposed to get it. One man in this country—Rodman Wanamaker, of Philadelphia—carries $4,000,000 on his life. George E. Nicholson, of Kansas City, has policies to the amount of $2,800,000; and there are many others running down to as low as $200,000; but of what particular worth are they? Sometimes the money left to relatives results in worse than would poverty. The life insurance of God has reference not only to the life which now is, but that which is to come.
