The Secretary having read the advertisement by
Hihsck the meeting nTened, proceeded TO read
the following report:
f'1he directors are again afforded the opportunity
of meeting the propretors on the occasion OF the
ninth annual general meeting.
1.-The unusual rate of mortality, which commenced
E 1916, increasing in intensity during the past year,
and became exhausted only in the early part OF the
present
"During its continuance ordinary calculations were
far exceeded. The Society has suffered in common
with almost every similar institution.
"Within the last few months the public health has
assumed its wonted tone. The average rate of NOR
tally has fallen and is not unusual after the raw
ages Of prevalent epidemic, the low average OF the
next year may compensate for the high average OF
the preceding ones.
''Durng the last eighteen months, numbers OF fam
lilies must have felt amidst their severe Affections,
the value of such institutions, safeguard against
unforeseen accidents This sentiment will become
still deeply instillcd, and had it not been for
the severe pecunary distress pervading all ranks and
classes, the augmentation in the number of policy
holders in general would have far exceeded former
years. As it is the business of life is Sea
Oily advancing, under the influence OF such practical
lessons, and cannot fail to develope itself more
the first favorable dawn of national prosperity.
"Although the calculation of the duration Of life

experience proves, nothing is more uncertain, con-

No better proof be given than the experience of
the society itself in the last few years.

is estimated at about ESQ, 900.
"Thus it will be seen, notwithstanding the diff
cultes of the times the business and income OF the
Society have during the past year, progressed stea
Oily; the number Of policies now issued being ,7lS,
showing an increase during the year of Gil.
"The progress which the Society has made in the
United States and the CaDadas has justified the
pectations of the directors. The rate of mortality
has ranged considerably under the calculation.
