which are not right, and.I night mention that in the ranks of the body sometimes
'called Shakers I have found that there are people who do not agree with certain
.practices and it is those people who, are getting out of the ranks and forming
themselves into what is now known a" the Christian Pilgrims.
 I believe that freedom-of religion rheans that the public and private practice
 of religion should be free.: Religious bodies should freely organise themselves and
 .conduct their services according.to their own rites and beliefs, provided nothing is
 S done that is prejudicial to the moral or physical integrity of the human being.
 And if these Christian Pilgrims prove themselves to be conducting their services/
 along these lines, I see no reason why. they should not be allowed freedom of
 worship, and when the time comes for them to nake application for a Marriage
 Licence, it would be for the Governor and his advisers to decide what should be-
 done.
 I don't think I can say anything more tocontribute to this debate, apart, from
 repeating that t know this is an attempt to bettercertain conditions thought
 undesirable and I do hope that ,when the .time comes for the, application for a
 Marriage Licence to be made that the circumstances will only prove that the'
 Christian Pilgrims are worthy of such recognition.
 Honourable Member for South Windward : -May I say just one- or two words-
 in contribution to this debate. My feeling, Sir, is this, that iliyour position as
 Administrator and Governor in Council, you have a' great trust in your hands to
 protect public morals, and my advice would be- that you give Very serious
 consideration, not only to this body but to any other religious body which makes
 application for recognition. I would also issue a warning that as soon as you,
 start to give recognition to bodies such as this, you will find hosts of applications
 coming in, and it may be that many will be from those who wish to indulge in
 immoral practices.
 I do not know much of this particular Body, but. I would .e glad if Your Honour
 would give full consideration to any application from it.
 I always feel rather sad when religious bodies are hounded before the Corn
 for religious practices. In every organisation you get a number of crooks and a
 few honest people mixed up with them, so'in that way I agree we should have'as
 much religious tolerance as possible. But, Sir, Ihope you take my advice and be
 very wary of any.application made by these people, and give the matter the fullest
 investigation before taking any action.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : I think the Honourable Member has
- solved the problem by suggesting that an application be sent to the Administrator
or Governor.
 When certain things are done for the reason of preserving law and order I amn
 inragreement with them, but in this case there was no reason for the action taken '
 as these people were'coming out peacefully.
 The reason why this -matter is brought- before this Council is because His
 Honour wants to get the feeling of Members of Council. I will come here a million
 times if necessary and I am going to come until we get what we want, and I tell
 you this much, if we don't get it in one way we will get it in another way.
 The Shakerism Ordinance is not worth the paper it is printed on. One
 Member has said that he does not know that there is any change of name of this
 religious body. I have explained that there is a confusion about the Spiritual
 Baptists, and we have gone into the matter and have changed the name to
 Christian Pilgrims. The time will come when this body .is going to make aln
