DR.. COOK ADMITS IDENTITY.
Recognized BY comrade On Antartic
Expedition.

Santiago, Chile, Feb. 19.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook admitted his identity
yesterday.
He visited his old comrade, the Bel
gian engineer Rysselberghe, and the
two we're together for some hours.
They we're members of the Belgian
Antartic expedition of 1S97-9S. and
the engineer recognized Cook when
they were fellow-passengers on the
steamer from Valdivia.
Until now, however, Cook has re-
fused to recognize his former compan-
ion.
Cook told Ry~sselberghe, it is said,
that he is preparing a complete ac-
| count of his explorations in which he
maintains that he reached the North
| Pole.

The Two
Salvations
Sermon by
CHARLES T. RUSSELL
Pastor Brooklyn
Tabernacle.

God so loved the world that lie
gave His only begotten son that
whosoever believethi in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life. John iii, Is.
Christ also loved the church ana
gave Himself for it, that He might
sanctify and cleanse it by washing
of water by the word; that he might
present it TO Himself a glorious
church, not having spot or WITH
kle, or any such thing; but thai y
should be holy and without bfeih-
ish. Ephesians V, 25-27.

5. The Results achieved for it's
POlicyh0lders in the past, its total
payments to them plus the assets on
hand on December 3Ist, 1909, ex-
ceeding the premiums received by
So,115,622.22, after payment of all
expenses and taxes, as stated above.
q. Its Care for the Interests of
its Policyholdcrs, to whom several
years ago it voluntarily extended
the right to vote at the annual cleo
ton of Directors. This action was
commented upon with much favor
by the Superintendent of Insurance
of the State of New York, as a step
whose Justice and wisdom are be-
yond question"
The Dickinson press., 1910-03-26

7. Its Liberal Treatment of its
Policyholders and of their DEEPEN
dents, one instance of which is that
it spares no effort to locate the
benefciaries and make payments
under paid-up policies, where fire.
quently the insured is found to have
died years ago, and where no one
but the Company knows of the ex-
istence of the policies.
8. Its Record of Dividends to
Policyholders increasing from year
to year for the past sixteen years,
during which period most Compa-
MES materially reduced such divi-
dends.
The Dickinson press., 1910-03-26

9: Its Uuequolled Record in
Foreign Countries, it being the only
American Life Insurance Company
which, Since 1868 has been able to
comply, and which has complied un-
interruptedly, with all the rigorous
requirements of the laws of Germany,
Austria: and Switzerland.
70: The AttructiUeness of its
Policies embodying all the features
desirable from a Policyholder's view
point, such a low premiums, high
guaranteed values, annual dividends,
freedom from restrictions, incontest-
ability after one year, automatic
non-forfeiture, reinstatement and
other privileges.
The Dickinson press., 1910-03-26
II Fw Reasons Wby to Hppy TOR Insurance to the Gennania Life Insurance Companv

I. Its Great Financial STRENGTH,
its assets on December 3Ist, 1909
being S367.-for each $1,000 of In
surance in force and its income from
investments being considerably more
than sufficient to pay all death
claims
2. Its WeW defined POLICY of
moderate but steady growth without
extravaganza or waste, and its abso-
lutte freedom, as again shown in the
recent New York Legislative Investi-
cation, from any and all speculative
and syndicate transactions, political
contributions and other objection
able practices:
The Dickinson press., 1910-03-26

3. The Conservatism shown in
its Investments, more than half of
which consist Of first mortgages on
frst-class Real Estate, yielding a
good rate Of interest and but little
liable to- fuctuation or loss.
4. The Careful Selection of its
Risks and the non acceptance Of
impaired lives as attested by its low
rate Of mortality.
