This Society derives its origin from Members of the Fra-
ternity of Freemasonry. Butitheugh it has the support of some
of the most eminent of the Brotherhood, it assumes no other
name, and claims no higher character than belongs to an as-
sociation of private individuals. Neither the Grand Master
nor the Grand Lodge has ever taken a part in pecuniary specu-
lations, nor granted to any undertaking of this description au-
thority to use a Masonic title.
The Deed of Constitution of this Society has been studiously
framed, so as to secure to the Proprietors and the Assured, the
means of knowing and controlling everything that affects their
interests.

The profits aro to be ascertained at intervals of five years, and
seven-eighths divided amongst those assured at rates'entitling to
participation, in proportion to the amount of premiums actually
paid during any part of the preceding interval.
The Shareholders are to receive 4 per cent. on the paid up
capital, prior to any appropriation of profits, and at the end of
every five years, the remaining one-eighth of the Profits.
Application for Shares may be made by letter, certifying the
number desired, addressed to Mr. Woodall, the Actuary, Ark
Assurance Office, 83, Cornhill ; where every information re-
specting the Society may be obtained.
