Did not Josiah, king of Judah, avert ter

It is scarcely a year, since there was
published an item in the "Sanct ThomB
Tilende, noting the remarkable fact that a
day Of prayer had been set apart in a neigh
boring island (Autigua) for relief from a
prevailing drought; and that the special
public services were hardly over before an
abundant and refreshing shower was pour
ed out on the Island. Similar circumstan-
ces have happened belore,-which is to
say the least, significant.
1t nay be Mr.. Editor that St. Crojx may
not receive the desired blessing so speedily
as we wish-but if the day Of prayer leads
men to reflection, to consider Their ways,
to repentance and reformation, we may be
well assured that it is not labor spent in
vain, to quote the words OF the poet:
Whatever we ask, we surely know
And firmly do believe
He will the thing desired bestow
Or else a better give.
1t may be thai if the sentiments express
sed in that "note' are held by a large mum
Der of the inhabitants Of these Islands, the
Supreme being may, in infinite justice and
wisdom, withhold from us the blessing of

knowledge his sovereignty and to cry

gIHIS Society, which confines it's bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the live
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that Of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
lent to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2I6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
It's career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives OF persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
sIve Premiums as are charged by every
toher Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -
, 1873-07-16

Assurances of every description on sim
gle lives are granted by the Society foy
any sum from 500 Dollars to 10000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the pay
ment of their Premiums, may either dis
pose Of their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain o free Policy
for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security Of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict investigations into the position Of
the Society are made quinquennially, and
the surplus then existing is allotted to the
Members, after a sufficient sum has been
ct aside for the purposes of the Reserve
Fund. The next investigation and D wi
sion of Profits, will take place OF the 31st
December, 1875.
The Society has Agencies in nearly
Of the British West India Islands.
