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 Oralce are purchased at their full value; or Loans may be obtained upon them after they have been in existence live years. If a party neglect to pay for the 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.

The following extract, from the List of Claims paid by the Provident during the past year, is published with the sanction of the parties interested in the Policies, some of whom have accompanied their acknowledgement of the unexpected advan tages with an earnest desire that the widest circulation may be given to the publication.
