Anniversary Exercises Held in the Plym'
outh Congregational Church Yestera
day..Sermon of Rev. Thomas Bell.

The services held yesterday in the
Plymouth Congregations, church, Rev.
Thomas Bell, pastor We're commemo-
rative of the church founding, this he
ing the fifteenth year of its history
The exercises were exceedingly ap-
propriate and the church interior was
beautifully decorated and enhanced
with flowers. The flowers We're fur
nished and arranged by a committee
from the Christian Endeavor society
The singing of the choir was admirable
and merited the praise bestowed upon
it.
The subject of the pastors discourse
in the morning was The Permanently
of Gods Word" The evening sermon
which was the sermon in reference to
the anniversary, was an eloquent ef-
fort and showed careful thought and
consideration by the pastor for the oc-
casiun The subject discussed was
"Progress the Normal Law of Life,
and the text chosen "Ye have con-
fessed this mountain long enough,
turn you northward," Deuteronomy
ii, 3.
In the course of his sermon the pas
tor touched upOn the salient principles
which underlie all progress. The prtn-
cipal topics taken into consideration
Were first circling a mountain is not
progress in Christian life; second, CIR
cling a mountain is not progress from
the standpoint of Christian thought;
third, circling a mountain is not prog
reSS in service.
Grouping these facts into one body
the natural conclusion resulting was
"what are the factors in progress"
First, we have diligent outlook. then
forward work, followed by the cult
walton of deep spiritual Christian life
and supported finally by an abounding
faith in God and His purpose" He ad-
vanced the proof and advantage of
the law of analogy, which bears upon
every phase of life and cited illustra-
tions from our secular tendencies,
namely, in the branches of art, sciences,
literature ana commerce. The gist of
the sermon was an urgent appeal for
earnest, straightforward Christian ef-
fort in all walks of life, toward the
accomplishment of final reward for the
good and faithful servant.
The exercises of yesterday will be
supplemented by additional exercises
this evening. when the roll call of the
church win be given. The following
nrogramme will be carried out: Sing
ny congregation; prayer: short ad-
Dire. by the pastor; roll call solo by
Miss Lily Joseph; selection by male
party Daniel Williams, leader; recita-
tion, Miss Gerte Hughes; anthem
choir; selection by male party; bene-
diction, pastor.

Report of the Mutual Life for 1896.

The continuous, magnificent growth
of the Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York has for many decades been
a source of pride to its army of policy
holders and of wonder to those inter-
eSted in social economies throughout
the civilized world. In many respects
the Mutual Life stands alone as to its
position. There is nothing like it, Its
annual report Of business for the year
ending December 81 1896, the full de-
tails of which are now in the hands Of
the New York state insurance depart
ment, shows that the company pos
sesses net assets aggregating $234 IA
liS.42. The books of the company in
dicate, according to its own standard
of policy valuation, a much larger sum
than that but this year the report is
made in conformity with the require
ments of the state department, which
excludes assets that are not realized
upon, but which are proper to regard
as ultimately good and available. The
liabilities on the risks in force amount
to $2O5, ,633.72, leaving a surplus fund
of S29, 1873, 5l47O. This shows an in
crease in admitted assets during 1896,
according to the New York state stand
ard, of $1,000, OO522, and am increase in
surplus of 81 1858, 4G7 O6.
The total income of the company for
the year was S49, 7O2, ,695.27. The amount
paid to policy-holders aggregated $25,
437 500 80. Since the date of its or
ganization, in 1913, the Mutual Life In
surance company has paid to living
members $2jS, 959 45l. 49, and to the bene-
fCiarieS of deceased members $lTS,O45,
1876 making a total Of $437 OO5, 1876 90.
The company has insurance in force
amounting to over $9lS 900, 900.

Quoted, and this feature will prove one
of the strongest points of the we'll
built play. It's story is new and is
told directly and forcibly. An eXcit-
ing fire scene, and the appearance of
a patrol wagon with a load of police
men, the wagon drawn by team of
spirited black horses, dashins across
the stage at breakneck speed will no
doubt cause enthusiastic applause.
The wagon, 1t is said, was built from
the famous wagon used in the Hay
market riots in Chicago some years
ago. The author of the play, NJ. X.
Higgins, is also a capable actor. His
impersonation of Louis Rhinegold Is
effective and manly throughout. The
supporting company is fully equal to
all the demands made upon it.
