MORTALITY RATE.

An examination made by the Actuary shows that the mortality of New Zealand Friendly Society members is somewhat lower than that of the general population, a restilt that might have been expected seeing that, to mention only one reason, Friendly Society members are in a sense selected lives, who have to pass a medical test before admittance. Further, Friendly Society lives show a lower rate of mortality than the population of New Zealand, but a higher rate than New Zealand assured lives.
