linen added to the Assur-
ance or Premium Fund, while
£204,531 2s. 6d. has been
taid since the establishment of the Societ on Policies
`which have become claims by death. y
These figures are very g,r Afifying—they show the strong
hold which the Society
nas upon the confidence of the
public; and it is from. r
.o mere routine that /he Directors
advert to the valual.;b3
assistance ,btained from their Wt;s-
leyan connexion--u, connexion which has always had a ton-
siderable initue',.l.oe on the prosperity of the Inatitutirm.
It is hop ed i however, that still larger results win be cb-
tained, vi 4,
tV.J. more than £7,000 policy-holders, ay. influen-
tial,,,„P"- Jrietary, a staff exceeding 400 Agents,. ar,d its asso-

,„Ye. cy considerable extension.
'..he Deed of Settlement provides that four of the Direc
