THE great objects of this Institution are twofold. First—
The establishment, by the Clergy and Laity of the
Church of England, of a mode of executing Trusts and
effecting Insurances with new features, embracing sickness
and old age—not upon any pretended reduction of price
from the old and sound offices, but upon a basis of certainty
and respectability, giving confidence to the Public, and add-
ing strength to the Company.
Secondly—To provide a Fund, by appropriating one-tenth
of the profits, to relieve the Families of Deceased Clergymen
recommended by the Diocesants, and toenable Congregations
to Insure the Lives of their Clergy at very favourable rates.
Clergymen's lives will be insured with as little profit to the
office as will be consistent with its obligations to the share-
holders ; and by being themselves also holders of shares,
they may, in addition, secure the profits arising from their
own as well as other insurances.
The Dissenters have their Insurance Company, the Roman
Catholics have their Trust Association ; it will soon be seen
that the Church of England can have both, to an extent
vastly beyond either the one or the other.
Tables, by an eminent Mathematician, are prepared, and
will speedily be published, with the List of the Patrons, when
it is completed ; in the meantime, Shares, Agencies, and
information may be applied for, by addressing E. M. ELDER-
TON, Esq., 40, Queen-square, Bloomsbury ; or by applying
at the head office, 6, King William-street; the City of Lon-
don Loan and Annuity Company, which has formed a junc-
tion with and added its large paid-up capital and valuable
business to the Church of England Institution.
Applications for Shares, &c. may also be made to
