You would jump at the chance. S uppose he put it this way: "John (if your name is J o hn ), I see that your mortgag;e keeps running on and on. That is satisfactory to the bank, because the bank mak.es a business of loaning money. You ar.e paying six percent, John. How would you like to pay eight per cent, and if you should die th.e bank will cancel the mortgage and your heirs would receive the property clea r and free from cLebt?" The interesting part of this idea is that no bank would make such a proposition. Its business is op.er ated· on another vlan. But the German Baptists' Liie Association will put into effect such a plan. Its business is protecting horn.es and fa milies. How is it done ? You pay the .extra two percent ro the ass0Ciatio11, in m onthly or quarterly payments if you desire. T he asso ciation will issue a bond or certificate for the full amount of the mortgage. You may die any time-tomorrow, next month or next year-and when yiou die the associa. tion will pay the money to wipe out that mortgage. T his is home protection. It enables you to pay off that m ortgage. Some men carry a £air amount 'of life insurance and think their families are provided for. T hey believe a goodly sum of ready cash will take care of them.
