The Society can be considered quite as much a New Zealand as an Australian insti* tution, seeing that all moneys received in the colony are invested here in advance on mortgage on first-class freehold securities, loans to members on the security of their policies. Government debentures, and freehold branch office premises ; and the Society is thus assisting in developing the resources of the colony.

If you are already sufficiently assured yourself, induce your friends to follow your example.
