The Bates of Premium are those adopted by the principal Life Offices; the Hate without Bonus is lower than that of moat other Offices. Toe Bonuses are added to the Policies, or applied to the re duction of Premiums. Policies issued by this Office are purchased at their fall value; or Loans may be obtained upon them after they have been in existence five years. If a party neglect to pay for the renewal of his policy he may !repair the omission any tune within twelve mouths, upon prool of good health. The Profits (subject to a trifling deduction) are divided among the Insured. The plan upon which they are divided gives to 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 shin 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 parties interested in the Policies, some of whom have accompanied their acknowledgement of the unexpected advan tages with au earnest desire that the widest circulation may be given to the publication.
