Of the most fourishing and reliable lsst
ciations in the West. It cannot fail, ulles
the policy holders themselves refuS t
pay their assessments and lose their pol

principles of mutual aid, and it is notcle;
how any such institution could be mol

hesitate to recommend 1t without rssery
to all who wish to insure in a living rel
