GLASGOW RELIGIOUS FRIENDLY.
This society was instituted 1st October, 1827, on
the principles laid down in the Highland Society's
Report, and the Reports of the House of Commons,
with an addition of 10 per cent, upon their tables;
but having found this insufficient to sustain the
society, it was agreed on 1st July, 1846, that a re-
duction of the sick allowance should be made after
nine months' continued ailment, with a further in-
crease of 1 per cent, upon contribution table?. It
has two departments, viz., 1st, The sick allowance,
with a stated superannuation allowance, from the
age of 65 to the end of life. 2d, Allowance at death ;
to any of which the members pay in proportion to
their ages and the benefits required ; and females are
admissable to the latter department, the two bein^'
kept perfectly distinct.
