life rnsurance sa esmen. Substitute the, va,ue is being attached to physical com-
word “agent” for “solicitor”, and you will
find. that it applies to. you.
Did you ever stop to think what you,
as a life insurance salesman, háve meant
to your community? If you had not en-
tered the insurance. business, would your
policyholders now be in a better or worse
eondition?
If someone else had serviced and sold
your policyholders . who háve passéd on,
would their families be happier and more
contented? In other words, if the best
life insurance man y.ou know had your
job, would the community be únore pro-
sperous with fewer hungry children and
fcbyer widows separated from their
hómes? Would the other man háve had
more vision ’ and inspiratioň, and would
he háve doně a better job of selling and
hclping more men to provide for their
families? " ú ‘
If you were the only man in your com-
munity who had the riglit to seli life
insurance, and it was. your sole duty, and
yours. alone, to ^ee úhat widows and

;You may not. be the only insurance
salesman in your community who sells
life insurance, but to your policyholders
you are the man of the hour. They háve
confidence in you, or should háve for you
háve served them faithfulíy. It is your
job to see that they háve the insurance
protection that their needs defnand and
that they are financially able to handle.
Also this responsibility carries on to
ev-ery other person. r . :

you because. you failed to write a man
all the insurance that he could háve
owned, even though you haye tried to seli
him? Don’t ever let it be said that your.
efforts lacked the neeessary, push to put
over the sále. Rather let it be said that
there was insurance money for the fu-
out that in their later years such finan-
cial wizards as Henry Ford and John7
D. Rockefeller administered their ímids
just as expertly as they did in (' their
youth. Unless competent physicianš judge
a man to be mentally ineompentent, he
should retain full responsibility fot his
financial well-being. In špite of age and
infirmity, the experience of years often
makes an oidster a better financial man-
anger than the young man who is full
of ideas. ' ,

generosity. Sickness, financial loss or

life — may strike a-sen, a daughter/ a
neighbor or a friend. The choice must
be made :• to give or not to give. Refusal
to help may carry with it the- stigma of
“miser.” '
When to give, and how much to give,
are questions which will never be easy
to answer. Perháps the answer, if there
