LIFE.

The atfontion of the Clergy, and a'so of Schoolmuters, and the
public in general is particularly directed to the plan of the Mutual
Branch of this Institution, in xhlch complete security is combined
with the highest attalaable economy. The holders of Policies are
fully protected from al: less and lia!,ility by the amp'e Subscribed
Capital of One Million Sterling, in addition to the large fund accu-
mulated from the premiums on 3,000 Policies.
The decided success of this iiranch of the Establishment is evi-
denced by the result of the Septennial Division of Profits in the year
1818, when a Bonus of 56 per cent. up.n the premiums paid was al-
lotted to the Policy-holders ; the Bonus I eing appropriated, at the
option of the assured, either by an addition to the sum assured, or an
equivalent reduction in the future annual payments.
