No charge is made for Policy Stamps or Medical Fees. The Rates of Premium are those adopted by the principal Life Offices; the Rate without Bonus is lower than that of most other Offices. The Bonuses are added to the Policies, or applied to the re duction of Premiums. Policies issued by this Office are purchased at their full value; or Loans may be obtained upon them after they hare been in existence five years. If a party neglect to pay for th e renewal of his policy he may repair the omission any time within twelve months, upon proof of good health. The Profits (subject to a trifling deduction) are divided among the Insured. 'Me plan upon which they are divided gives te each party insured a share proportionate to the amount of the premiums he has contributed. In addition to this advantage, an annual addition or bonus is made to each policy in anticipation of the quinquennial Divi sion of Profits. The following extract, from the List of Claims paid by the Provident during the past year, is published with the sanction of the pirties interested in the Policies, some of whom have accompanied their acknowledgement of the unexpected advan tages with an earnest desire that the widest circulation rosy be given to the publication.
