 payable to him at the Vere Street Office, London, W. ; but any cheque on a banker's or any 

 other house of business in London wiU be equally available, if made payable on demand. In 

 obtaining post-office orders care should be taken to give the postmaster the correct initials 

 and smname of the Secretary of the Society (H. M. Jenkins), otherwise the payment 

 will be refused to him at the post-office on which such order has been obtained ; and when

 unless the letter be registered.
