Cuildkkn's kn now mknth without risk. Table lI.H. — I This table remove* the only objection to the ordinary form of Child's Endowment, viz., the fear that in tho event of death of parent or guardian, the Premiums would not be kept up. It is therefore a combination of endowment and assurance without risk of forfeiture from any cause. Every possible contingency is covered, and a good rate of compound interest is guaranteed at the end of the term by the policy, which is also nonforfeitable while surrender value lasts. Example.—A father, age 80, endows his sou, age 1, for £2OO, payable on his reach iug 21 years of age, the annual premium being £7 2s fid. If the fathor should die any time after the first payment as above, instead of the widow having to continue paying premiums, the endowment be comes a paid-up polioy, and matures when the boy readies 21 years of age. I n event of the child’s death during currency of the policy, the whole of the premiums paid will be rufuuded. Mutual Life Association of Australasia, E. B. I lure, resident agent.
