Dear Sir

l reaQ an observers 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 me-
cessary to assassinate reason and Justice
in order to be good and charitable toward
our fellow-men, which after all, is one
of the best features if not the most tangi-
BILE evidence of our civilization, al.
though, it has cCme to that now where
to satisfy certain religious fanaticism one
has got to show that he retains a per-
centage of the barbaric. | hear that the
laws of the Anglican Church prohibit its
members from dabbling in the affairs of
contemporary religions. | 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. Johns Church on
sane lines, was perverting the church
laws when he and members Of the angli-
can choir, including 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 numerous other striking oddities
and differences, | would simply ask
which is right, and how those folks who
in their religion remind ne Of weather
cocks reconcile the two. They ought to
know where they %stand-or do they not
know?
