ABSTRACT
We well remember that in our boyhood, we saw for the first time, “Life Insurance,” on the door of an office in this city, and were startled by the presumption which those words seemed to imply. We could not see what insurance could have to do with human life, without attempting an interference with the prerogatives of the Almighty. And these feelings, we presume, have been experienced by others, and even after suitable explanations, have still occasioned an undefined repugnance to the scheme. We confess that the feelings of our childhood were not, in our case, easily overcome.
