The Trustees have declared the usual Scrip Di-
vidend Of THIRTY PER CENT on all policies for
the whole term Of life now in force which ere
issued twelve months prior to January LIST, 1891
of dividends declared in the years, ls46, issT, 1873
and ls4s on and after the first Monday in March to
those holding certificates upon resentatio at the
Home Office; and those having credits will be al
lowed the same upon their notes at settlement Of
next premium.
The Board of Trustees submit their Sixteenth
Annual Report, showing the situation of the Com
pany on the LIST day of January, 1861, by which IL
will be seen tnst the Accommodations have reached
upwards OF Two MIsLIoss OF DOLLARS. All of
its assets are securely Invested, yielding large
and constantly increasing revenue. 1t is crafty
lug TO know that the subject Of Life Insurance is
receiving, from year to year, more general and
favorable attention. and that its influence is more
rapidly extending over every section OF the coun-
try, and they believe the more 1t is examined and
the more its advantages are appreciated aud its
principles understood, the greater will DO the
number OF those who Will seek to participate in
the benefits of SO safe and judcious an Invest
ment
The Trustees have for considerable time had
under considerable. plan for the gradual re-
demptou Of dividends, and for the purpose of
inaugnrating such Il system. have concluded to
discontinue the payment of Interest, and IN lieu
thereof 70 declare scrip DIVIDEND OF 81 per cent
upon all policies in force, and which Were issued
twelve mon hs prior to January LIST, 1851, and to
pay in cash on demand, and upon surrender OF the
where credits have been given, to allow the
amount thereof in resiuction of notes at the next
renewal OF policies. II is the design OF the Trus
tees to extend this sytem to all outstanding diVi
dends, as soon the necessary arrangements can
be made, and which will probably be within the
next sixty days, when they will advise their pol
icy holders and agents of the contemplated plan,
which the Trustees confidently believe will meet
the approval OF all parties interested therein, as
it will enable them to realize during life the pro-
fits arising from their investments, and where
credits have been given, gradually to reduce the
notes which are now charged against their policy
