THE SEA OF LIFE!
The rain falls upon the Just and the unjust alike. This rain sinks
into the earth to make the bounteous harvest, later arising In
springs or runs in rivulets to small streams and creeks
and rivers down to the enormous seas, and there to be
taken again into tho air and once more spread over the land
and find its way back to the sea, - -
How LiRe The Sea of Life
which Is likened to tho great Life Insurance Company the Reliable,
Endurable Old Line Co. which waters the land with dollars saved
for the Son of Man. These dollars flow Into the channels of
trade, and after serving their urpose, that of prolonging and bet
tering the lives of millions of mankind again flow Into the great sea
or life company, again to be distributed over the land -on
llssions of love and kindly ministration.'
If your life Is insured In The Mutual Life of N. Y., your family
will not need cfiarlty, "if" your life Is cut short before you have
prepared for their future.
