called "The four pillars Of temperance" nag
been kindly placed at OUR disposal.
The distinctive feature of '"rhe Temperance
and General ProvidenS Institution" consists in
comprising too separate departments; one
open 70 the public, as in %.otIt-r Offices, the
other confined to persons pledging themselves
to abstain from all intTricatiny beverages.
The rates for INSTANCES arc tie same in&oth
departments, but, the receipts and claims of
each are kept distinct.
All the data bearing on the q|ueCtion it had
been possible to collect Warranted The opinion,
that the mortality of entire abStainers from
alcoholic drinks, as ~ class, would contrast
very favourably with that experienced by
Life Offices in general, and led to the con-
~clusiOn, that the benefits of Life Assurance
might be secured to them on specially ad-
vhntageous firms. This Institution was es.
tablished with the view al testing this con-
clusion; and experience, extending over
twenty years, has fully established its acura-
cy, and to all extent fur. beyond the a~ntioipa-
LlOn OF its founders.
