divided has for many years averaged more than £130,000 per annum.
At the last (1897) Division there were then nearly lOOO Policies in respect of which not only
were the Premiums entibely extinguished, but Cash Bonuses were also paid, whilst in the

National Provident Institution is that the Member^s life is assured until he reaches the age agreed
upon, and on his reaching that age the whole of the Premiums paid are returned to him, and a
considerable sum in addition, representing a by no means insignificant rate of interest on his payments.
