      " The Directors cannot doubt but that every Policy-holder must be gratified at these results . After a most rigid scrutiny , the Funds and Assets of tlio Society have been found sufficient , not only to meet all the liabilities , but to warrant the declaration of Jarjfe additions to Policies , at the sjuiic time ' fully . maintaining- the ¦ reserve required by the Laws and Constitution of the Society . * ' The Directors would remind the members that it is their interest to make known , " as widely as possible , the advantages afforded by the Society , and they would call on all to co-operate with them , and with the Local Agents of the Society , in advancing- its business and promoting its success .
