There

ar:
complaining
about,
because
they
want to
have
these

as

This Ordinance

I concur

1 consider
we should

Dear
Sir:—
a
I read
an Observer’s
contribution
!
in
today’s
issue
with
much
gusto.
In-
.
deed
it is a
treat
to note that
there
are
.
still
some
who realize
that
it
is not
ne-
cessary
to assassinate
reason
and justice
.
1n order
to be good and charitable
toward
~
our
fellow-men,
which after- all,
is one
~of the best features if not the most
tangi-
;
ble
evidence
of
our
civilization,—al-.
‘
though,
it has &me
to that
now
where
~
to satisfy certain
religious fanaticism
one
~
has
got to
show
that he
retainsa
per-
~
centage of the barbaric.
1 hear
that the
~
laws of the Anglican
Church prohibit its
-
members
from dabbling
in
the affairs of
.
~
contemporary
religions.
I
would
just
.
like to ask whether
the late
Canon
Wat-
.
son,
one of the most
beloved
and appreci-
.
ated
ministers
we ever had
on the island,
'
a
man
who
ran St.
John’s
Church
on
|
sane
lines,
was
perverting
the
church
|
laws
when
he and
members
of the angli-
.
can
choir,
ineluding
Mrs.
Watson
and
.
Rev.
Levo, participated
in cantatas
and
.
musical
services
in the
Moravian Church
|
the unity with which body rather
reflect-
|
ed
the
broadmindedness
and
largeness
.
of
heart
of
the
lamented
gentleman.
|
Certainly
his
and
the
present
position
|
sustained
cannot
both
be correct.
Not to
|
speak
of nuxerous
other striking oddities
'
and
differences,
|
would
simply
ask
.
whieh
is rizht, and
how those
folks
who
in
their religion
remind
me of
weather
.
cocks
reconcile
the
rwo,
They ought
to
.
know
where
they stand—or
do they
not
