The Ph@nix Mutual Life Conn
plny,s Annnnl Atnlemeni.


The tWenty-fourth animal statement
being the exhibit for 1874, Of the PhGnix
Mutual Life Insurance Company, il pre-
sented 70 our readers to-day. The CONF
pany shoWs solid and steady increase as
to assets, and furnishes tangible evidence
that Il Is keeping in view the individual
rights Of Its policy holders, BY exercising
toward them the widest possible liberality
compatible with their future interests.
During the last ten years the Ph@nix
has returned TO its policy holders, upon
low rates Of insurance, very nearly four
millions Of dollars in dividends, and has
during the same time increased It's assets
over nine millions, besides paying to
families Of deceased members over four
million dollars. This record OF itself Is
one Of which the officers may well be
proud, During the past year It's funded
assets show an increase Of over million
dollars, and the company returned to
policy holders as dividends S029,970,
The directors have found that they can
further increase the ratio Of dividends to
policy holders, and at the same time pre-
serve the integrity and safety Of the COM
pany's financial condition; and policy
holders renewing this year will get the
benefit Of the reduction. Tho statement
shows u surplus over and above all
claims and liabilities, figured on the
New York standard Of 4 per cent, Of
81, l27, 400, and on the Connecticut stand
ard Of per cent Of S438,6O3. The Off.
GERS manifest such a regard for q careful
and conservative course in the manage
ment OF the large interests placed in their
hands as will conduce to the benefit Of
its policy holders and add strength to
the we'll established reputation OF the
company. B, =, Tiff Is the General

AT the Friday evening Meeting in Ply

was an unusually large attendance, and
in the course Of his "talk" Mr., Beecher
happening to quote the SaviOus's words

characteristic that We quote it as follows;
III understand how Just this is myself,
In the second or third year OF my lndi-

I think il was the seCond-according to
my best recollection renewed laugh tcrl
i came home on Saturday night from
taking part in great revival in Terre

morning | preached glowing sermon
about the necessity OF repentance and all
that, and in the evening gave an account
Of the revival, which was to me more
than the frst.born child is to the mother.
told them that | would preach every
night that week. On Monday evening
when entered the church and saw that
it was but two.thirds full it was very dis
couraging, as you may believe, but l did
my best, and at the close called upon
those who might wish to talk with me
about religion to wait, No one waited.
Tuesday evening was wet and raining;
and after service only two servant girls
remained, They were my own girls,
whom had been teaching in my own
little domestic class, -
"Ofthe first families Of the town, nearly
all Of whom were represented at the
meeting, not one representative stopped.
The girls had that smell about them as
II their clothes were always hanging in
the buttGry or in the kitchen; they were
permeated with an all.pervading smell Of
accumulated cooking, My pride rose up,
and | had good mind to say that would
see them some other time, but hardly had
the thought come when there came such
u rush OF is there q soul so low, 30 poor
on earth, that il is not an unspeakablc
privilege TO bring tito Jesus? What are
you that refuse to accept this taskT And
If they had been my own sisters could
not have been more faithful. From that
time God sped my work until there were
some two hundred conversions In my

and vanity, | have both, so much, ut

you in your struggles against them.
