Annual subscriptions, if less than 15s., will be received t( this fund, but although not entitling such contributors to anj fixed pension or annuity therefrom, will nevertheless rendei them eligible, at the discretion of the board, to receive such annual provision or support under the foregoing contingencies ;as its resources may from time to time permit. All annual subscriptions to this fund must be paid in ad- - vance, and members neglecting to make their payments when ’they become due, shall be subject to the same penalties as are laid down in rule 16, Annuity branch. Benevolent .Fund.-This fund is intended chiefly for the pur- pose of granting temporary or permanent relief, under cir- cumstances of peculiar emergency, and it is hoped will be 1,.berally contributed to, not only by those members of the above several professions who possess the means and are de- sirous of ministering to the necessities of their less fortunate brethren, but that the attention of the public generally, espe- cially of its more wealthy members, will be powerfully ’directed to a society possessing advantages and holding out benefits which few others can offer, and having for its object the temporal welfare of a large and important class of society, whose mutual interests all are in a more or less degree con- cerned in, and whose spiritual and bodily avocations exercised through a life of labour and anxiety in promoting the present and future welfare of mankind, peculiarly entitles them to public sympathy. With a desire to promote, in the best possible way, the mutual interest of all the members of the association, it is in- tended that this benevolent fund, as connected with the an- nuity and superannuation departments, shall be applied chiefly to the relief and assistance of those members and their fami- lies, who in the day of their prosperity have been willing to .contribute something towards promoting the comforts of their poorer brethren in the hour of need, sickness, or other ad- versity, but that none must anticipate relief, or look forward to a participation in its benefits, who having once possessed the means of doing good, shall have withheld the hand of bene- volence from their fellow-labourer, or neglected to avail themselves of those opportunities which the other branches of this association more especially hold out, of providing against those casualties of life to which they themselves are in a more or less degree hourly subjected, and also for the future welfare and support of their widows and children at their decease. But whilst it is proposed, that the benefits of this fund shall be thus chiefly applied, it is by no means intended that those shall be altogether excluded who may not have had it in their power to contribute thereto, but that all shall parti- cipate whose circumstances may be of such a nature as to render its extension justifiable and consistent with the objects ontemplated. With a view, therefore, to the most advantageous and equitable distribution of this fund, it is proposed to regulate it under the following principles :- 1. That the fund be divided into two separate departments —viz., the clerical and medical benevolent funds-that each be distinct from the other; the one to be under the exclusive control of a committee, comprising the whole of the directors on the clerical list; the other to be under the control of a committee of directors on the medical list; the chairman of the general board alone being a member of these committees, as being entitled to a casting vote in all matters relating to the affairs of the society. That one-third of all donations and bequests, (unless ex- pressed otherwise by the donors or testators,) as well as of all annual subscriptions, shall be set apart as a mutual fund, to be applied in augmentation, by way of bonus, to the annuities under the annuity branch; and that, in like manner, one-third be also set apart for the benefit of such members as shall have superannuated under the foregoing provisions. The remaining one-third to be at the unqualified disposal of the two committees, to be applied to such benevolent purposes as shall be considered by them best calculated to promote the objects of the society generally, preference being always given to those who shall have, in a more or less degree, con tributed to this fund. That should the funds hereafter permit, the committees shall have the power to grant loans for stated periods, in sums not exceeding £50, to members of either branch of the association, free of all interest, but upon such approved security as shall be sanctioned by the chairman of the general board. ! In submitting this scheme to the consideration of those who are most likely to be interested therein, the promoters beg to observe that they are influenced by no selfish motives, neither is it their desire to enter into competition with other institutions of the day, their sole object being the establish- ment of a society so constructed, that the benefits resulting therefrom may be rendered as universal as its means may hereafter permit.
