_Positive Results_ of a Policy in the

MANHATTAN LIFE, ON THE NEW PLAN.

Age, 30; Amount of Policy, $10,000; Term, 20 Years.

The Annual Premium will be $301.80 ——————— At the end of that time the Company will return to the holder in cash, $5,700.00

Thus the $10,000 insurance will have been secured at the net cost for 20 years of only 336.00 ————————— $1.68 per year for $10,000 insurance, or if the Cash be not drawn the policy will become paid up for $10,050.00

These results are not estimated, but are fixed in a positive contract, the full face of the Policy meanwhile being payable in the event of the death of the assured. There is no forfeiture of payment on discontinuance of policy after three years, a =CASH OR PAID UP VALUE BEING GUARANTEED BY THE TERMS OF THE NEW YORK LAW.=

For examples of other ages, and also on the 10 and 15 years’ plan, write or apply at the office.

NOTE.—The MANHATTAN’S is the simplest form of policy in existence, and incontestible after three years, this feature having been originated and adopted by this Company over 23 years ago.

THE FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL MEETING

OF THE

AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION

WILL BE HELD AT

PROVIDENCE, R.I., OCT. 23-25.

Rev. Arthur Little, D.D., of Chicago, will preach the sermon.

The Meeting will be held in the Union Congregational Church, of which Rev. J. Hall McIlvaine, D.D., is Pastor. The friends in Providence have already begun preparations for the reception of the Association.

Life Members and Delegates chosen by contributing churches, Local Conferences, and State Associations, constitute the Annual Meeting, as will be seen by the following article of the Constitution.

ART. III. Members of evangelical churches may be constituted members of this Association for life by the payment of thirty dollars into its treasury, with the written declaration at the time or times of payment that the sum is to be applied to constitute a designated person a life member; and such membership shall begin sixty days after the payment shall have been completed. Other persons, by the payment of the same sum, may be made life members, without the privilege of voting.

Every evangelical church which has within a year contributed to the funds of the Association, and every State Conference or Association of such churches, may appoint two delegates to the Annual Meeting of the Association; such delegates, duly attested by credentials, shall be members of the Association for the year for which they were thus appointed.

So far as possible, the Providence churches will entertain those who attend. Those purposing to be present and wishing entertainment are requested to write to Rev. J. Hall McIlvaine, D.D., Providence, R.I., Chairman of the Committee of Entertainment.

Special rates will be arranged at hotels for those who desire to pay their own way. Railroad and steamboat favors will be secured as far as possible, and notices of reductions and other matters will appear later in this Magazine and in the religious press.
