Ten years havo now elapsed since the liberal regulation of sustaining Policies, which had been suiFered to become overdue out of the surrender ; value, was introduced into the practice of tho Sooiety. The value of this regulation will bo best appreciated by the statement of the extent to which it has been availed of during the 10 years. The following summary will show the operations of this period :— Total Policies overdue and sustained out of the surrender value 22,980 No. reinstated .. 18,687 No. forfeited 1,120. No. surrendered 32 No. dead .. 108 No.matured - _10 No. overdue and kept in force at 31st De>., 1883 .. .. 3,118 Difficult as it'ls to estimate the benefit of this regulation to the families of tho 108 policy holders whoso claims have been paid, it is still more diffloult to say what advantage has accrued to tho Society by the retention of tho 18,587 policies reinstated, tho forfeiture of which would probably have mado of their holders avowed enemies, airing what thoy con sidered substantial grievances, and spreading discontent wherever their complaints wero heard. Owing to theprivilcge which has boon ex tended to them, the Society has Fccured their goodwill, and has doubtless experienced tho beneficial influence of their advocacy. Among tho Improvements which in late years have been introduced into tho practice of Life Absuranco, this ono must be considered to occupy opre- ! eminent position. It may not be out of place to add that no difficulty or inconvenience is ex perienced in tho practical application of this regulation. The method adopted enables mem bers whoso premiums become ovorduo to pay up ono or more of the overdue instalments at any time, and thus gradually to get rid of their In debtedness."
