Here the classes have been kept practical
ly FULL but the old cry that the average age
would be kept down by new and young re-
cruits has proved impossible, and the aver
age age Of the five thousand members now
exceeds fifty-thTee. The number OF deaths,
which we used to be told would probably
never exceed ten in thousand, is now no
less than twenty-seyen.
The benefit Of selection from people be-
longing to particular sect, which was to
become rebuke to ''old line companies for
their excessive charges, turns out deluslon,
and the death rate exceeds that OF the
general population, and is nearly twice as
great as that predicted by the American
table, the Carlisle or any other of recognized
authority.
There are some very good people in the
world who have thought well of assessment
insurance To such we commend this at
tempt to sell cheap life insurance -.
In the words of the Springfield Repupl-
can: "The assessment principle. has an IN
herent defect, which will certainly bring
to grief every association, no matter now
well managed. The association will run
like clock about so many years, and tnen
will run down like clock, and cannot be
wound up again. This defect lies in this
fact; that as soon as the original members,
taken in at various ages, reach the average
age when death becomes most frequent, the
assessments become SO numerous that
younger men refuse either to remain in orsto
Join. Consequently the association ceases
to take in new members. 1t grows smaller
and smaller. Each of the survivors sees
with dismay that nobody will be left to pay
assessments when he dies. and in disgust
they throw up the. sponge, losing all they
have paid to the families OF deceased mem
bers. This is the defect Of all purely assess
ment life insurance companies. "-Rough

Assessment lnsurance-A Failure.

The United Brethren Mutual Aid Assess
ment Society was organized in 1870 at Le-
banon, Pa. 1t has been carefully and honest
ly managed, was at one time decidedly ag-
gressive in its conduct and literature, with
large membership-of the class of people
who responded promptly to assessments and
who were as enthusiastic in lauding their
plan as in denouncing ''old time companies"
The day of its humiliation dawned some
three years ago, and its downward course,
and the cause thereof, are delineated in the
report of the Pennsylvania Insurance De-
partment, just out.
AT one time its certificates in force, we
believe, numbered some $4,000 At the De-
ginning of the present year the number le1t
was 1884. During the year 1885 there were
issued 478 certificates, while 1,0S6 dropped
out. Of these !, 086, there were no less IMAM
266 deaths, which would require an average
of five assessments week.
1t is not remarkable that its members
should desert the ship under such circum-
stances.
The following is an abstract from the re-
port of the company as to part OF its busl-
ness:
There are eleven classes of members whose
numbers in 1886 are given; also the average age
and number of deaths in each class we SelecI
