A 1' the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the SO-
CIETY, weld on the 15th current,
The Rev. Dr. BURNS,'or Paisley, in the Chair.
The Manager read the report of the Directors for the past
year. It proved that the business of the Society had steadily
progressed during that period—that the claims which hail
emerged exhibited little more.than one-third 'of the ant mint of
the calculated mortality—that more Policies had been issued,
insuring a larger amount of capital sums, and producing a
larger revenue from annual contributions, and a greater increase
to the accumulated fund, than in atiY previous, year; showing
clearly that steady' annual progress which the sound principles
on which the Society ih founded are certain to produee. ,
Thereafter the following Directors were elected frir the cur-
rent year, all being in terms of the laws, Members of, and person.
ally connected with, the Society, by assurances on their own Lives
of a determinate number of years standing :-

JAMES . DUNCAN, Esq., LL.D., Manager.
the Reading of the. Report and appointment of the Di-
rectors, the manager read an• adlress, showing the danger'd
triennial as opposed to septennial divisiOns -of profits. The
Chairman and Laurence Hill, Esq., expressed their sentiments
on the same subject, and upon the absolute necessity of this
Society adhering to the principle of septennial divisions, in op-
position to theories lately afloat, and of retaining at each of such
divisions one-third of the ascertained gut plus as a fund abso-
lutely reserved to meet contingencies, and thus to secure the
permanent stability of the Institution.
Thanks were thereafter voted to the Directors and. Manager,
and to the Local Boards of Edinburgh-and Paisley, for their'
attention to the interests of the Society during the past year.
