To the Editor of the "Nogtu-Emma Dairy News"
Sm.—About a fortnight ago I sent my maid-servant to post at the Post Sub-office on Carter Ro: d a registered letter, the envelope of which bore my printed address including the name. She was told by the postal officer that a registered letter, bearing the sender's name and address in print, wss not acceptable unless this was written by hand. My servant had therefore to secure the service of a fortune teller at a booth the vicinity of the Carter Road Post Office in having his postal requirement "fulfilled before she could get my letter accepted by the Post Office. This seems to be a funny idea on the pert of the Post Office. If there is a good reason for such a requirement, I shall be glad to hear it from the Postal Authorities, Shanghai, Nov. 19.

The Lesson Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy:—"Man's true consciousness is in the mental, not in any bodily or personal likeness to Spirit. Indeed, the body presents no proper likeness of divinity, though mortal sense would fain have us so believe."
