Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York.


The growth of u great idea is illustrated in
the last annual report of the Mutual Life Tho
array OF figures it presents shows how rapidly
practical faith in life insurance is gaining
possession Of The IGlblic mind, and the splendid
results it records awaken glow of grateful
admiration for those patient AMI pr, found cal
culators who have so successfully worked cut
this problem for the amelioration Of the suffer-
ing aud priyation to which the dcsoate are OK
posed 1t is however true that lf, insurance
is less brilliant than useful, less ATTRACTIVE than
beneficial but though it makes less display
than other great discoveries, it yields to none
III excellence, ami promises rs fairly rs any to
become universal blessing to mankind
Many benevolent Institutions spccious and
apparently perfect in theory, fail "to work, "
on it they de, fall 50 far short of their inytet-
ers' idcil as to disgust Instead Of satisfying
them. The PRINCIPLES upon which life insurance
Is based and which this pow ciful organization,
the Mutual Life, has carried to such perfection,
are however not Cn'y beautiful in theory. but
have in their operation fulfilled aod even sur.
passed the predictions and hopes of their most
sangunc advocates II this Company were a
recent experiment, we sh uM speak less con-
f'lcntly of its merits hut the steady course it
has pursued for twcnty-tluer We rs, and the
irciingaJ evidences it has constantly aiur ted
OF healthy amt Increasing prosperity, have
earned lor II reputation for stability which
instiic3 us in placing it before the public AZ an
assured succcs., the grandcst ever achieved in
Ii c insurance
This assertion is established Ivy the fact that
the Mutual lhtc during its past fiscal year is
Sucd 5000 new policies, received for premiums
