The Annual Report Embraces the Following Particulars
The splendid gain in New Business for the first seven months of the year was
held unimpaired to the close and resulted in the largest increase in the Company's
history, as noted above. January,; 1915, business also shows a splendid increase over
The business in force, less reinsurances, amounted to $90,849,326.74, an increase
of 53,780,961.72. The lapse rate has naturally been heavier than heretofore, owing
to the special conditions existing. Nevertheless the gain in business in force is practi-
cally the same as in the best previous year.
The total Receipts amounted to 51,404,810.13,a gain of 5168,978.48 over the
previous year.
The present scale of p profits-exceeding estimates by one -third -is being continued.
The conditions warrant an'increase; which for the time being is deferred until the effect
of the expected unusual strain' this year has been determined.
The Assets now amount to $6,294,262.70, an increase of $648,567.51. Bonds and
Stocks have been taken at a figure much below the prevailing market value, The
Rate of Interest earned, without allowance for Head Office rental, was 7.01%.
Seventy-seven per cent. of all the Company's business is now valued on a 3%
basis, The total Policy Reserve on the Company's standard now amounts to.
$4,807,888.
On Government standard Policyholders' Surplus amounts to, $676,148.54, showing
the most satisfactory gain yet made.. After setting aside funds to increasekeserves

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Lesson VIII.—First Quarter, For
Feb. 21,1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, I Sam. iv, 1.13, 18.
Memory Verses, 10, 11—Golden Text,
Jas. 1, 22—Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
As we read' this chapter and the
two following and vii, 1, 2, we cannot
but notice the frequent mention of the
arts of the Lord, or the ark of God, or
some of its other titles, and: when we
recall that it was the principal vessel,
in tbe tabernacle and the only one
of all the tabernacle vessels that con
tinned to be used in the temple of
Solomon, that it was made specially: to
be a receptacle for the two tables of
the law, tbat over its blood stained
lid or mercy seat and between the
cherubim the glory of the Lord was
revealed, and that from above the mer-
cy seat the Lord communed with
Moses, we must be persuaded that this
vessel bad a wonderful significance.
And when we rend In Rev. xi. 19, of
the temple of God in heaven being
opened and there being seen in ft the
ark of. Elis Testament we stand in still
greater awe before this holy vessel.
1t is mentioned forty times in the
books of Moses and twenty-eight times
in Joshua, chiefly In connection with
the crossing of the Jordan. In our
lesson chapter Lind those following' it
is mentioned thirty-seven times, so that
we can easily- see' that the interest cen-
ters upon it.
Lesson verse 2 shows us Israel smit-
ten before the Philistines, and we
think that we hear again the words of
Joshua. "0 Lord, what shall I say
when Israel turneth their backs before
their enemies?" (Josh. vii, 8.) But, as
then, so now, it was because of sin in
the camp. 'As the elders considered'
the present defeat they did not seem
to think that the difficulty might be
with Israel, nor did they turn to the
Lord, but said, "Let us fetch the ark
of the covenant of the Lord that it
may save us" (verse 3). The presence
of the ark caused Israel to shout with
a great shout, and when the Philistines
understood tbnt it was because the
ark was come into the camp tbey said
that God was come into the camp, the
gods that smote the Egyptians. On
the part of both Israel and the Philis-
tines it seemed like pure superstition.
The latter knew no better, but for Is-
rael to put confidence In the ark ratber
than in the Lord reminds us of their
worship of Aaron's golden calf find,
away beyond the time of this lesson,
their worship of the serpent of brass
(II Kings xviii. 4).
Is it not the same today with those
who think there is ann benefit in the
more reading of a chapter in the Bible,
or saying a prayer, or taking the com-
munion. or in any religious formality?
Anything that is not real heart deal-
ing with the Living God is only a form
of superstition. The Philistines were
stirred to great fervor by the cry of
their leaders, "Be strong; quit your-
selves like men and fight" (verse 0),
and the Lord delivered Israel into their
bands so that 30.000 were slain, in-
cluding Ell's two sons, and the ark of
God was taken (verses 10, 111, Poor
old Eli waited with fear and trembling
for tidings from the"battle, and when
he beard the sad news and that the
ark of God bad been taken be fell
off his seat backward and broke his
neck and died. He was ninety-eight
,years old and had judged Israel forty
years (verses 12-38). I think that while
'outwardly it was u broken neck it may
have been inwardly a broken heart.
an the same day it seems as if Phine
has' wife was also taken away (verses
119.22), so that a great calamity came:
:to the house of Eli in one day 111, 34)
Thus suddenly have great events trans-
pired again and again, and so shall it
be at the end time.
I The story of the ark in the hands of
/the Philistines (chapters v and vi)'
;makes us think of Jerusalem, a bur-•
ndensome stone for all people, and that,
all that burden themselves with It shall
lbe cut in pieces •(Zech. xis, 3). The
Philistines found the ark a very griev-
ions thing to have in their midst, and
/after a few months (vi. 1) they were'
'glad to send' It back to Israel. The,
story of the new cart and the two milk'
cows tied to it, with their calves shut
'up at home and the cows taking the''
'straight way to Beth-Shemesh, lowing'
las they went, but not turning aside to
'the right band or to the left (vi. 7421,;
is a wonderful record of the hand of,
the Lord upon dumb beasts and ,brings
to mind the dominion over all sheep;
'and oxen, beasts of the field, fowl' of
'the air and fish of the sea that has
had somo foresbadowings all the way
along, but will be fully seen when tbe
kingdom comes (Ps. yin, 0-9; Heb.
8, 9).
The men of Beth-Shemesh rejoiced
greatly to welcome the ark. and they
offered burnt offering and sacrifices
unto the Lord, but they made a sad
mistake when they looked into the
ark, and they suffered greatly for it.
As we said at the beginning of this
study, the ars.- was made to keep the
holy law of God. which Israel could
;not keep. The blood sprinkled' upon
the mercy seat from year to year (Lev.
xvi) told of the demands of the law
met by a substitute, even Christ, the
end of the law for righteousness to
every one that believetli (ROM. x,41..
Llfe never was nor could be by tbe
law. which ',con only bring -us all in
guilty "before hod and is therefore
culled the ministration of death (Gal.

Don't Allow Your Bowels
To Become Constipate,
If the truth was only known you would
find that over one half of the, ills of life.
are caused by allowing the bowels to get
Into a constipated condition.
When the bowels become constipated•.
the stomach gets out of order, the liver
does not work properly, and then follows
the violent sick headaches, the sourness
of the stomach, belching of wind, heart
burn, water brash, biliousness, and a
general feeling that you do not care to do
anything.
Keep our bowels regular by using'
Milburn'y' Laxa-Liver Pills. They will
clear away all the effete matter which
collects in the system and make you think
that"life is worth living."

ness and did not get relief until' I used
