The subject has led to much dis 1 cnssion. and the result of the discussion : i would seem to be that- whilst an insurance » ‘ on life is commendable to an amount suffi- I cient to provide the family against desti- tution or want on the death of a parent. it is considered unwise for any man or wo~ man to accumulate great wealth or to in- ! sure their lives for any large amount.

Portugal has taken the lead in the matter, and is refusing to pay interest on debts contracted l-y their grandfathers. The action of Portugal is very interesting. This should be remembered :â€"that'if it should be decided that the people are. not responsible for a debt contracted by a previous generation war would at once cease and we should have the infinite bles- sing of universal peace. for no war can he carried on without borrowing money.
