In moving the adoption of the Re- port Lhe President. said that the busi- ness for 1898 was in all respect: of tho moat gratifying character, both in the volume of new business transact- ed and the mortality experienced, 'l'he amount of surplus earned and the amount paid to policy holder: were in excess of any former year, while with â€"v ya.â€" a much larger amount of insurance in force, the lapse rate was very little more than in 1897. Purchased Policies showed a decrease of $202,915 as com- pared with 1897, when that item reach- ed the sum of $470,488, indicating the growing confidence of the assured and the enhanced value placed upon the policies they hold in the Company. For some time after this Company commenced business, many thought that a Mutual Life Assurance Com- pany was at best but an experiment, and in our case doomed to failure; but as the public came to understand more fully the scientific principles under:- lying the. purely Mutual System, it be- came evident that time which reveals the defects of less perfect systems, left untouched the giant strength and robust vigor of Mutuals. 'l‘heir suc- cess has been so pronounced that some 01' the oldest Stock Companies are now seeking to give their policy hold- ers a voice, however small, in the elec- tion of Directorsâ€"a right which the members of this Company have enjoy- ed since its’ aetablishment in 1869. Dur- ing the past year we have added large- ly to our Assurance, largely to our Income, largely to our Assets, large- 1y to our Surplus, that our Lapses are few, that our Cash Surrender Values are little more than half they were in 1897, that up to the let of May our in- crease in business is greater than in 1898, and our death rate much below the average. May we not hope, there- fore, that the progress of 1898 will be ,even greater in 1899? VICE-PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. I I Mr. Alfred Hoskin, 0.0., in second- ing the adoption of the Report, held ‘that the remunerative investment of ”its funds was one of the essentials to the permanent welfare of a Life Comâ€" pany. This will be conceded when it gis remembered that there is to-day on ideposit in our Banks the enormous L sum of $250,000,000 of which about 388,- LOWEST PRICES. Bun.

A. decade ago the average rate was 7, but now investors are well satisfied at a much less figure. The Ontario has been mere fortunate than its competitors, the rate of interest on its investments having in 1898 averaged 5.16 while that of most of the other Companies ranged from 4.43 to 4.59. This Company's” percentage of foreclo- sures to its total investments was only 3 per cent, while its competitors rang- ed all the way up to 21 per cent.

Garrow said it afforded him much pleasure to state that in his opinio The Ontario was one of the best, i not the very best, Life Company in Canada to-day. .. Before and since he became a policy holder, he heard many pleasant things said about the Com- pany, which, even among its rivals in business, enjoys a reputation for hon- orable treaLment of its members sec- ond certainly to none, and equal to an; other in any part of the worldâ€"- the best capital that any Company can possess. . Mr. B. NI. Britton, 0.0., M..,P King- ston, said that the business of life in- surance in volume and importance wal enormous, the amount in force in the world to-day exceeding 315, 000, 600,000 and of this immense sum Canadian! carried On their lives nearly $370, 600,- 000, or about $75 for every man, wo- man and child in the Dominion, 1! equally distributed among them. in this truly beneficent work The Ontario was entitled to a fair share of credit, having in force in round numbers the sum of $24,000,080, and having written in 1898, within a few thousand, the largo est amount of new business secured in Canada by any other company in that year. . . The proud position the Ontario occupies toâ€"day has been at- tained in spite of the ignorance that still exists, among men otherwise well informed, as to Mutual Life Com- panies. Many even in Parliament think a Mutual Life Company may levy “Assessments” or make “Calls” on their members. No one should. however confound a Mutual Com- pany like ours with any kind of As- sessment or Society Insurance, for they are as different in their methods as any two radically dissimilar systems can possibly be. .The Ontario is a level premium Life Company; it takes no premium note as some Mutual Fire Companies do, and it holds at all time. the full Government reserve. the same as Stock Companies. vvvvâ€" '7 Mr. E. P. Clement, acting Sheriff and County Crown Attorney, Berlin. in proposing votes of thanks to the Head Office Staff and Agents, paid a glowing tribute to the Manager,Secre- tary, Medical Director, officers, and field workers, for the very etiicent manner in which the business of the Company, in their respective depart- ments, had been looked after, and for the marked success that attended their labors during 77 the past year, Mr. Geo.
