SOUL INSURANCE
Property-owners always take the
precaution of renewing insurance on
their property, whether it be real
estate or simply household furnishings
they are solicitous lest some castas
trophe rob them of it. Their policies
may cover loss by fire, windstorm,
lightning, explosion,' vandalism, or
any other hazards.

sin sully the whiteness of the robe
that was sanctified at Baptism? What
about insurance against that day when
all his earthly possessions will slip
through the hands of a man, and leave
him stripped, in the Presence of his
God?
