RELIGIOUS FREEDOM in December ship, the setts, and could hold-f car. In 1308 our Pilgrim fathers departed from England in search of a land where they might worship God as they saw fit. Holland seemed to be the most suitable place to go as the Dutch have always been very tolerant. The Pilgrims settled here for a while, but, as time went on, the English viewed with alarm the fluency with which their children were speaking the Dutch tongue and the number of intermarriages. Therefore, it was decided to move again, this time to far-away America, separated from Europe by a vast, stormy ocean and inhabited by many red savages. So, , 1520, the Pilgrims landed their little ‘'Mayflower, at Plymouth Rock, Massachu-there founded a colony in which they their own religious services without Although the Pilgrims were the first to settle on America’s shore in an effort to have religious freedom, they wore followed by many other religious sects, all searching, for freedom. Quakers, Calvinists, other Protestants, and Catholics lived peacefully side by side in the new country. Thus It was only natural that, when our Constitution was written after the United States had become an independent nation, a movement was inaugurated to insure religious freedom for that generation and for future generations. The first Congress proposed addin - what is now called the Bill of Rights to the Constitution and these amendments passed v ith little opposition. It is evident that complete religious freedom and tolerance has been, from the beginning of our great nation, one of the fundamental ideals of our country. Our government can never,in any respect, take away our religious freedom. 7 V e may all very well be thankful that we are Americans in America and not Jews in Germany.
