MISSIONARY LIFE.
The 24th ANNUAL REPORT
A CANADIAN IN INDIA.
The following extraote from private
letter written by Mr Priest, a Canadian on
the Indian mission field, to his father-in-
law, Mr W. Robb, of Clinton, will be read
with interest:
Sending and reoeiving home letters is
one of the chief features of the week here.
The morning when the home mail Domes,
the postman is assured of a warm welcome,
that is if he bringe home letters, for you
must know that we are that maolll ahead
of Clinton -our mail is delivered. That's
no so Hieland is it? One thing we cannot
complain of is the rate of postage in this
country. You oan send a letter from any
place to India to any other plane in the
same country for half an dune, that is a
little less than one cent, A bicycle is a
most wonderful curiosity here, but to see a
lady riding on a wheel is still more so.
The most of my time is spent grinding
away at the language. It is slow work,but
still it is coming on. From five to five and
a -half hours a day are spent with my
munsbi. He's rather an interesting fellow,
about 26 years old, good as munahis gene-
rally go, .but lacking in teaching ability.
Most of them lack in that particular. He
is a Brahmin, and of course, with the
Brahmin's, wisdom live and dies with
themselves. We have some interesting
discussions. The day betore yesterday we
had rather a lengthy one, on former births,
he taking the Brahmin position, that all
deformity and suffering is the result of sin
in a former birth. When yon press for a
definition and explanation of sin you get
him hopelessly in the mud. One of the
hardest tasks that the missionary has to do
is to get into the minds of this people any
adequate idea of sin. I have had quite a
time with my munehi wanting leave so
often. At one time he wanted a bedf day's
holiday. I discovered afterwards it was to
perform a religious rite, which consisted
simply and solely in feeding the crows.
At another time he got two days' holiday,
that he might join in the celebration of
their great feast. At this feast they think
the spirits of their ancestors are present,
and to please them each family or two
families will select a Brahmin and feed
him with the best they oan command.
Last week be was off for the whole week,
to perform the necessary religione rites
.on .the anniversary el his father's death,
and also joining in the celebration of the
marriage of his brother. They believe
thatea man's life is divided into five parts.
At death three of these parte leave the
body, ten days after death the fourth part
takes ite departure, and it is not until one
year from death that the fifth and last part
leaves.
The work ou the Tani field is enoourag-
ing at present, prospects never seemed so
bright for a long time. Last Monday I
baptized three; ten others were to bave
Dome in for baptism, from a village ten
miles out, bat they were held back by the
threats of the heathen. We expect they
will Dome the first of next month. The
need is appaling. Imagine 140,000 people
in your pariah. There are five native
preachers, three of them are A 1 men, the
other two are practically nselees. It is in
work like thia where a man feels his utter
helplessness in himself, and bis utter de-
pendence on the divine.
A Cht)nge Needed.
This is what the Montreal Witness
says about the present government: -
"The whole country is verysick of the
present weak and vacillating govern-
ment, which throws the responsibility
of action in embarassing cases line the
Manitoba conference and the Shortie
commutation upon the Governor-Gene-
ral, and it is weary of the present par-
liament, which has done little but
mark time since Sir John McDonald
died. There are dozens of questions
which it bas fooled with, which remain
unsettled. There is the Manitoba
school trouble, the scheduling of Cana-
dian cattle, the copyright act, the New-
foundland question, the bankruptcy
hill, the customs appraisement and re-
form question, the pretty fast Atlantic
service, the Hudson's Bay Railway, the
preferential colonial customs system
which Sir Mackenzie Bowell boomed
before he became premier, and a great
many other matters which have -been
taken up by the Government, and al-
lowed to fall throngb, or remain in ab-
eyance. The Government has been do-
ing little but quarrelling; its party has
suffered disruption and division, and is
now more or less disorganized, and the
country has lost not only confidence in
it bol patience with It. It is lir be he.
ped, in the Interests of the business of
the country, as well as the manage-
ment of its affairs, that the end is near,
and that the electors will be given a
chance to elect a parliament which will
restore order and vigor to the adminis-
tration of public affairs, relieve the
business of the country from the evil
effects of the paralysis of government.,
and enable the Dominion to make
some progress towards prosperity and
development.

CELEBRATION. -There is seemingly
no good reason why a 24th of May
celebration should not be- gotten up
here and made an anneal affair, if
taken bold of by stbme good active
citizens or several of the local clubs,
hut if the town council made a grant
toward this object, it would likely re-
ceive a rap over the knuckles from the
same source that is now urging it.

The annual meeting of the Confed-
eration Life Association was held at
the Head Office of the Company,
Yonge, Richmond and Victoria streets,
Toronto, on Tuesday. There was a
good attendance of policyholders,
shareholders and members of the
agency staff.
The Report and Financial State-
ments relating to the business of the
company for the year 1895 were sub-
mitted as follows: -
REPORT.
During the past year the Directors
have had under consideration 2,540
applications for insurance to the
atnount of 413,736,150. This includes
five applications for $8,000, which were
deferred at the close of 1894, 2,389 tor
$3,474,150 were approved, while 134
for $230,000 were declined, not bein'
up to the standard; and 17 for $32,
were incomplete at the close of the re-
gister and were deferred. Adding to
the above issue the revived policies of
previous years, which had been a rit-
ten off, and the bonusditio s
ad n ,the
total issue for 1895 was 2,421 policies
for 53,544,920. The total buslhess on
thebooks at the close of the year was
526,611,718, under 17,590 polities on 15,-
413 lives. From this it will be seen
that, though the year was unfavorable
for the life insurance business, and
many companies fell behind' in the
volume of new business as compared
with the previous year, and while the
total insurance written by all the com-
panies for the year is a good deal less,
we have been able to maintain an equal
volume with a lesser expenditure by
several thousand dollars than in 1894.
Theclaims by death were 107, calling
for $171,847 ander 121 policies. In view
of the amount at risk, it will be ob-
served that the death -rate was very
favorable, a feet which bears continu-
ed strong testimony to the care exer-
cised in the admission of only good,
healthy lives.
The Financial Statements which
form part of the report will be tound
to furnish full information regarding
the position of the Association.
The past year, on account of the
continued and intensified commercial
depression, called for more than usual
care in conducting a business such as
ours, combining insurance and invest-
ment; it cannot, therefore, fail to be
a source of gratification to our policy-
holders and shareholders to observe
the veru substantial advances made in
all those features which indicate real
progress and careful management.
Some of these are:s--
lst-Maintaining an equal volume of
new business and carrying on the -old
with a total expenditure over four
thousand dollars less than in 1894.
2nd-Tnci•etisedincome. s
3rd -Increased Assets. -
4th -Increased Surplus, notwith-
standing the payment to policyholders
during the year of over $87,000 in
profits.
These facts will prove'the wisdom
of the policy pursued by your Direc-
tors and Management to secure a fair
volume of business at a fair cost. The
business teas been sought for on strictly
business principles, and means unfor•
tunately too frequently used to pro-
cure applications, such as rebates, are
strictly prohibited.
The report of the Auditors, who have
continued to give regular and careful
attention to their duties, will be found
appended to the report.
It is a source of deep regret that we
have to announce the death, since the
completion of the audit for the past
year. of Mr Wm. E. Watson, F.C.A.,
who has intelligently and faithfully
discharged the duties of joint auditor
for a period of six years,
Your Directors are pleased to report
that the Office and Field Staff continue
to discharge their respective duties in
a zealous and efficient manner.
All the Directors retite, but are eli-
gible for re-election.

;„Toronto, February 27th, 1896.
The President, Sir W. P. Howland,
in moving the adoption of the report
end statement submitted, said: -It is
a matter of sincere satiefactjon to thotle
on whom you have imposed the duty
and responsibility of conducting and
managing the affairs of this ftnjldrt-
ant company -tet be able to place be-
fore you, eontiidering the unfavorable
cireumetances which attended the busi-
ness for the past year, statements
which give evidence of fair and reason-
able progress and improvement in
every branch of the company's busi-
ness. The new business obtained
amounted to $3,554.920, showing a fair
increase over Geist of 1894. Our income
for 1895 was $1,062,642, showing an in-
crease over the previous year of $59,-
328; we also show an increase in as-
sets of $453,605. Our total surplus se-
curity for policyholders at the end of
the year was $1,334,254, an increase of
$32,1181, besides having paid, as stated
in the repot t, over $87,000 in profits to
policyholders.
The foregoing results have been
obtained under most unfavorable con-
ditions and in the face of keen com-
petition. The progi ess made in all
branches of the company'e business
should prove,' think, not only satisfac-
tor to its policyholders. and share-
holders, but furniehes striking proof
of the careful management and ap-
plication on the part of those who are
charged with the responsible duties of
managing its affairs. Furthermore, it
proves the favorable position which the
company occupies in the minds of the
public.
The general agent for this prosper-
ous company for Huron and Perth is
Mr Wm. Taylor, of Clinton, and the
local agent is Mr Israel Taylor, either
of whom will be pleased to furnish
any information.
ORDER OF CHOSEN FRIENDS.
The ninth annual meeting of the
Grand Council of the Canadian Order
of Chosen Friends was held in Toronto,
on Tuesday.
Most fraternal organizations, as well
as other financial institutions, admit
that the past year has been one of
great depression and that the most,
careful management has been neces-
sary in order to make both ends meet,
yet, the Canadian Order of Chosen
Friends, appears to have been most
successful.
During the year 2,700 approved ap-
plications were received, and 65 new
councils organized, the total member-
ship at the end of the year being 11,-
369, composed of 8,636 males and 2,733
females; the net amount of insurance
carried by the same is $14,460,250.
There was collected during the year in
the relief fund department $101,798.92;
65 deaths took place in the order on
which were paid the sum of $73,500.
The total amount paid out in death
claims and benefits since organization
amounts to over $250,000. The reserve
fund of the order has reached to over
$100,000, of which stun $50,000 has been
invested in Dominion Government
stock. There were only five calls in
the_eick benefit department fur the
year. From the Grand Recti.dee's ie
port it is shown that there are now
342 subordinate councils in the organ-
ization, with a membership of over
12,000. Since the beginning of the
year there have been fourteen new
councils organized and the prospects
for the future of the society are very
encouraging,
