Sir, I am perhaps not strain- ing the sense of words if I draw from the opening eontonao of the Rev. Mr. Lindsay's articlo in your issus of. Saturday last the Inference that the writer regards all atheists and agnostics as insane. I am not aware whether tho writer had in mind whon he wrote, such names as those of Berlioz, Darwin, Huxley, Maro- dith, William Morris, Spencer, Brahms, Swinburne, Shelley,! Haeokol and Owon. If he had, one oan anly, when one remem- bors the world's debt to these and other unbelievers, parody woll known words and wish that they had bitton a few others.
Is it not timo that our friends in the churches learnt to conduct calling propaganda
without namos? Or can it be that the apostolic precedence has gone| by the board and that the greatest i of these is now faith?
Yours, etc..

Sir, I read with much interest the complaints and suggestions of your Peak correspondents, "No Likeatyphoid". "Anti-Typhoid", and "Peak Resident", and my sympathy goes out to them in their trouble.
The times, Sir, have really Japan... changed. Bolshevism now rules supreme! Even the flies cry

If I, one of the long despised (by the Peakites) race known as Kowloonites, may offer a sugges- tion it would be:-Fight,your own battles! Arm yourselves with a Bob-No Gun", "Flyosan" or "Lotol" spray! Go forth into your kitchens and or lavatories and slaughter these posts. If we can do it, why can you not do the same?"
Thanking you in advance for inserting this in your widely-read paper, and enclosing my card,
