the Editor of the Dear Sir,—Will you kindly give insertion to the accompanying copy of aletter, as a reply to the article headed "Good Templars," which appeared in your columns of the 7th instant, and which was taken from the Boston Advertiser of the 23rd July, 1878. Dr. Lees represents the English branch of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and is a loyal member of the true Order which was established in 1851. This organization now numbers 467,000 members, while our Juvenile Templars number 350,000.
Excuse my thus troubling you, but as there are always two sides toa question, and as only one has been presented, I beg to exhibit the other.
Yours faithfully, Tue Distatcr Derory ror Onrxa,
