Rev. Newman Hall says that thirty thousand
members are communicated yearly from the
English Church for intemperance.
England.-One of the Northern Presbyteries Of
the English Presbyterian Church has just adopted
an overture, praying its Synod, which meets at
Liverpool in May next, to take steps for the es-
Enlistment of Sustentation Fund for the sup
port of the ministry. The question of the better
support of the ministry is also the subject of am
ious consideration in the Scotch Established and
Irish Presbyterian Churches In the former a
scheme has been originated for the augmentation
of the smaller livings so as to bring all up to a
platform of 6200 year. Opinion is divided in
the Irish Presbyterian Church as to whether a
Sustentation Fund, like that of the Free Church
of Scotland, should be adopted, or an aid fund to
supplement the incomes of the weak charges, such
as the United Presbyterians possess.
Several new religious journals have recently been
established at Geneva and at Nice.
Germany. Dresden new society has under
taken to spread good books at Dresden with col
portage, reading-room and other appliances. The
meetings during the week of prayer were held in
the usual way at Berlin The Queen again showed
her warm interest for the Evangelical Alliance by
coming to two of the meetings

PIEDMONT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
TO THE PUBLIC-I am pleased to bear testi
mony to the Piedmont Life Insurance Company
of Virginia" and to urge its merits for solvency
and promptness on Southern public.
Ipresented this morning proofs of loss for S. OO(
insured under policy No. 754 Jointly on myself snc
wife, my wife having recently died, and the amount
was instantly paid, the Company waving the ninety
days allowed under its policy.
Such promptness entities the Company to South
ern support.
Why should we continue to impoverish our peo
pie and section by sending money North for Life In
surance when so reliable and prosperous a Company
as the "The Piedmont is in our section?
HENRY T. JARRATT,
of Greensville county, Va.
The undersigned, agents of the Piedmont Life
Insurance Company, would state the money above
referred to was paid in our presence, and the GER
tificate given voluntarily as merted justice to this
Company. The progress of this Company is rapid
its business cautiously and prudently conducted
and its promptness and solvency beyond question
demonstrate the folly of sending money off for life
insurance Let Southern people rally to this home
enterprise which brings money to our own section
invests its money in our section and builds up our
people and friends.
THOMAS B. BIGGER,
Agent for Richmond and State at large.
DAVID B. CLARK,
General Agent.
We cheerfully concur in the above, and urge our
friends to support this reliable home enterprise tor
which we are agents.

This Company has met with success beyond all
parallel in Life Insurance, and offers to the South
| ern public Home Enterprise equal to any and sur.
passed by none in existence.
Commenced active operations about Nov. l, 1867.
Assets 1st January 1886, 900, now much increased.
Policies issued in 16 months 2053, covering risks
of 81, 100000.
1t has paid for losses of SO, 100, and in every in
stance waived the ninety days time and PAID at once
1t advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause their dividends will continually decrease each
next payment until nothing will be required and the
policy may be source of income; but it will allow
one half loan on life and joint life policies. One
third loan on other participating policies.
1t requires no notes for loans of the part OF pre-
miums, but endorses the loan of its policies until
absorbed by-dividends is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel All
its policies are non forfetable and the right of par
ties guaranteed the face Of the policy, as part OF
the contract
1t has the following valuable feature which no
other company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home Office by
having their part payment forfeited. The fiea.
mont guards against this in her policies, and IN
