Synopsis

Excerpt from An Address Upon the Subject of Life Insurance

WE live in a progressive age; the world is teeming lwith new discoveries; the arts and sciences are advancing in rapid strides; the march of improve ment is onward toward the goal of perfection; and man hath sought out many inventions to benefit his creature man.

There probably has never been a period within the history of the world in which so much has been done to benefit and ameliorate the condition of the human family, as is being done at the present age. Every year gives birth to new associations, the objects of which are the promotion of human happi ness. It is the theme of all societies; all advocate charity, and claim to be philanthrop from that divine organization, the Church, there are innumerable benevolent associations, from nearly all classes, the designs of which are to better pro tect mankind and extend the fostering care of friend ship to the helplessand needy. Indeed, it is the boasted object of all free, civil and religious institu tions to elevate all classes to a standard of equality, so far as relates to opportunities for acquiring knowledge and the necessary comence of this world's goods - of which every one is considered to have (without reference to birth) a natural right to as much as shall, at least, place him above want and suffering.
