1Opinion of the CourtJustice Helm
The decision of this case by the court below and the review here require an interpretation of the orig- ' inal certificate of insurance, coupled with the by-laws relating to suspension for nonpayment of assessments and dues.
The by-law in force when the contract was entered into directed that such payments be made on the 15th of each month; but no suspension of the member for failure in this regard took place till the first day of the next succeeding month. Afterwards, however, and before the death of Brown, this by-law was, by the Supreme Ark, repealed, and another was substituted therefor".
