A.M.P. Society Jubilee Year.

— , I In view of the widespread constituency of the A.M.P. Society, now numberning one hundred and forty thousand policies, it will interest many of our readers to know that at the forthcoming annual meeting to be held next month (18th of May, 1899), at the head office, Sydney, the " Jubilee of the Society " will be celebrated, when it will be found that the success of the institution has been pnenomenal aggregating with bonus additions about fifty-two millions sterling, or an average since its formation ot over one million per annum. Last year's new business exceeded three and a half millions sterling, the prosperity of the A.M.P. Society being thus greater than that of any British life assurance institution. In connection with the marvellous growth of the A.M.P. Society, it is worth noticing what persevering energy can accomplish. Early in iB6O Mr B. Short was appointed as lecturer and canvasser (the first and for several years the » only gentleman so employed in. the Southern Hemisphere). During nearly 30 years he delivered 400 popular Lectures, giving information that resulted in twelve thousand new polices being introduced by his agency, amounting to about five millions sterling. Several years ago when he retired from his position the members elected him a seat on the Principal Board, and we ate glad to learn that he is again amongst those nominated for re-election.
