Filters p.ess and Tribune:
Allo* me, in reply to the letter Of Dr. How.
ard, which appeared in your columns yesterday
morning to say:
!. Your exposition of our "no.ice" was.
perhaps. little too strongly woreed. What
the Congregational Herd{d said was this:

Howasd's plah OF private letter and an an.
s~er was an awkward one i; that his explanation
did not materially mend the matter especially
as It was accompanied With The, to me, gery
surprlhing statement that il 1s very common for
m1n1ste 9 TO exchange sermous, that this act of
his had been done Ia thh most public place md
nanner, and that the insertion of abe article
was demanded. should have accompanied Il
with Dr. Howard's verbal e1plaustiou. if he
had net emphat!cally said that he preferred to
trT'te it himself. And ret that he might have
the bes. opportunity possible in the circum-
appended ths last sentence, and also erased The
word "plagisritm" from the caption.
