which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging

Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part 70
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required TO assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life:-

Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts

Strict Investigations into the position

To THE EDITOR OF ST.. CRox AVIS.
Dear Sir.
From the "Public Opinion of the 28th
August last, I beg leave to make the fol-
lowing Extracts for insertion:
"Particular attention is directed to a
new feature in the principle of life assur-
ance, which the Royal has lately intro
duced, and which only needs publicity to
insure its general adoption. 1t is called
the "CompIete Life Policy" and cohBines
the two principles of, first, the restriction
Of payment of premium to ascertain fixed
number Of years, say from five to twenty,
thus limiting the burden of this provision
to the working years of a mans life and
secondly y, the absolute guarantee Of ~security
against forfeiture, inasmuch as provision is
made to grant a paid up policy for a stipu-
lated amount whenever an assurer omits,
or is unable, to make his renewal payment"
The invaluable advantage of this equi-
table scheme are that the assurer can at
once calculate the maximum amount of
premium which can possibly become pay
able under his policy, however long he
may live; and he does not forfeit the
benefit of premiums already paid if he be-
ONE unable from any cause to continue
his payments. By its opportune adoption
the Royal will confer a boon on thousands
Of human beings, and thereby add material
to the ediice whose breadth and elevation
is now a wonder of the commercial world.
In carrying out this novel and truly bene-
fcent idea, the directors manifest alike
their enterprise and their sagasity.
Yours truly

Agent.
