Tho above Department afforda tho following ad vantages, which aro secured by special Acts 6f Legislature, over any other oflico in the colony:— 1. All policy holders participate iv the profits of the Department. 2. The Premiums are lower by at least 7s (seven shillings) per cent, than thoso of any other office. The Security is infinitely superior to that of any private office, tho consolidated revenue of the colony being available for any deficiency. 4. The whole of the money paid in Premiums is retained in tho colony, whereas in private oflices, so much capital is sent to foreign parts. C. Policies for wife or family are absolutely pro te ted from creditors. 6. No lolicy is forfeited by non-payment of Prt niums after first year, so long as sur render value will insure the amount. For example, a person aged forty, insured under a Policy on which five annual payments had been made, would not forfeit it on account of non-payment of Premiums until the expiration of five years and eighty-six days from date of default, provided that the other conditions of the Poliv had not been violated, and it could be renewed at iy time within uch term, on paying up arrears with \terest; or if became a claim within that time, the Policy would be paid, less arrears with interest. No Policy need therefore be sacrificed in consequence of tlie pressure of any temporary loss of employment or other mone tary embarrassment.
