1t advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause then dividends will continually decrease each
next payment until nothing will be required and the
policy may be source of income; but 1t will allow
one third loan on participating Policies. Parties
who fail to pay all cash premiums will please re-
member their cash payments are not likely to de-
crease and that interest is to be paid annually on
all loans not absorbed by dividends.
1t requires notes for loans OF the part OF pre-,
miums but endorses the loan on its policies until
absorbed by-dividends, or policy is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel All
policies are non. forfeitabe and the right OF par,
ties guaranteed on tie face Of tie 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 Ohce by
having their past payment forfeited. This Com
pany guards against this in her policies, and In
event of separation from its office by any interven-
tion guarantees to such all the right of non-fortei.

1t brings money to our people-keeps money with
our people Then why should they continue to
empoverish themselves by sending money off which
can as easily, as safely, as probably be spent at
home?
The PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON asks all
who wish to insure to compare Its rates, TERMS pro-
gress with any company, and feels confident It's
merits will equal any other company.

ours commenced. Nearly forty were added to the
church, consisting Of young, middle aged and old
persons. One gray-headed father came forward
after seeing his oldest son give his heart to Jesus
and then two other sons followed him. Another
gray-headed father, who had long followed in Sa

gave his heart to God The whole church were
greatly revived, and we can only say-To God be
