My Dear Editor: I am truly pleased to see that th& Friend has become the organ of the Templars. One cf the great hindrances to the advancement of Temperance in our country has been the division of our for ces. Instead of uniting upon the common enemy and fighting side by side, though under diff erent colors, we have been ex pending too much of our energy upon each other. " Like 'the lion and the tiger, we have gnawed each other over the lamb, till the fox has deliberately carried it awayl Let us, though differing in fnoaus operandi f unify our aims and purposes, and the ranks of our common enemy will give way.
