LEGACIES TO THE INSTITUTE
You are asked to remember this Institute in your will, that it may properly carryon its important work for seamen. While it is advisable to consult your lawyer as to the drawing of your will, we sugg~t the following as a clause that may be used: "I give and bequeath to Seamen's Church Institute of New York, a corporation of the State of New York, located at 25 South Street, New York City, the sum of ...... Dollars." Note that the words "of New York" are a part of our title. If land or any specific property such as bonds, stocks, etc., is given, a brief description of the property should be inserted instead of the words, "the sum of...... Dollars.'· Contributions and bequests to the Institute are exempt from Federal and New York State Tox.
