Authority for Life Insurance
During one of evangelist Billy Graham's visits to New
York City, where he has preached to capacity audiences
made up of persons of all religious denominations, a writer
with the Chicago Tribune — New York Syndicate asked
him:
Is such a precautioin as life insurance compatible with a
Christian Testimony?
To which Mr. Graham replied: A similar question came
in several months ago and an answer would always seem in
order. Insurance not only is compatible with one's Christian
testimony but the converse is obvious. For a Christian not to
carry insurance because of some Christian scruple seems to
me ridiculous. The Apostle Paul, writing to Timothy (I Tim
5:8), says: “But if any provide not for his own and especiaUy
to those of his own kindred, he hath denied the faith, and is
worse than an infidel.”
“Few people can provide adequately for their families at
the beginning of their years of responsbility. Insurance
companies are set up to make such a provision possible. The
fact that such companies advertise and compete for your
business shows that they too profit by the business. Over B
the years, these insurance companies have developed
actuarial tables which show how much you must pay for a
certain kind of protection. By jotffing with millions of others
in investing in insurance, you are providing for your loved
ones should you die, or you are setting up an estate which
will eventually nalp to care for all of you during old age.
Insurance is sound business and for all who invest in it, it is
sound common sense. Not only is there nothing in such
providing which is contrary to Christian principles, the
reverse is the case. For if you do not provide for your loved
ones, the Bible says you have sinned."
In the early days of this century the principles of life
insurance were poorly understood by the public. Indeed,
some questioned its philosophy. So the salesmen of it sought
an accepted authority to testify to its fundamentals. If was
then that some Bible-reading field underwriter turned to the
Bible for support. He found it in Chapter 41 of Genesis. That
is the passage that tells the story of the dreams of Pharaoh,
ruler of Egypt, and their interpretation by Joseph. In one
dream, you will recall Pharaoh saw "seven well-favoured
kine and fat-fleshed, and they fed in a meadow. Then seven
other kine, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed came up after them
— and did eat the seven weU-favoured and fat kine." The
next night Pharaoh dreamed of “seven ears come up one
stalk, full and good — and seven ears, withered, thin and
blasted — devoured the seven good ears."
Joseph explained to Pharaoh that these dreams were
forecasts of seven years of good production the kingdom
would enjoy. But they would be foUowed by seven years of
famine. Therefore, he counseled, the nation should store up
the surplus of the productive years and be prepared for the
days when there would be little food produced in the land.
“Right there," proclaimed the field underwriter, ?was
the very first life insurance Society, right in the first book of
the Bible!"
And, indeed, that is the exact principle of life insurance:
That we should save out of our producing years, to provide
for our families and our old age. against the days when
production would end.
Could there be any greater authority for life insurance?

Q. Last year I received a
social security check every
month, but earned a little more
than the $1,680 limit for getting
all of my checks. This was
reported to Internal Revenue
Service with my income tax
return and I*m wondering if
this takes care of the matter.
A. No, you must make a
special annual report to social
security if your earnings
exceeded the $1,680 for 1972, or
if they exceed the $2,100 limit
for 1973. These reports were
due by April 15, so if no report
was made, you need to take
care of the matter without any
further delay. These reports
are not required if you were
over age 72 in all months of the
year.
