Since the coming of Rev. Simon p

weeks ago to take temporary charge
Of the Metropolitan Baptist Church.
a religious wave seems to have swept
over the church, and one of the largest
and most successful revivaIs in the
history Of the church, or in the city
as to that matter, is being conducted.
DR.. Drew is an able pulpit orator and
possesses that kind of magnetism
which draws out large crowds to hear
him. From the very beginning of his
revival the capacity of the church has
been tested to seat those who nave
sought admission. The long illness of
DR.. Robert Johnson, the late pastor,
kept him away from the church and
aside from the work in the Sunday
School, the services became very irreg-
ular and the attendance was small
DR.. Drew has put new life into the
work and now not an empty bench
can be seen in the church, and more
than five hundred conversions have
taken place. DR.. Drew seems to be the
right man in the right place and has
surrounded himself with a host of
friends and followers who insist that
he be called as the regular Pastor.
Rev. Drew is well known and hardly
needs an introduction to the Washing
ton public He Is the corresponding
and financial agent for the
Industrial school and college;
he is also President of the interdenomi-
national Peachers meeting, Boston,
Massachusetts,, and President of the
Lincoln National Colored Republican
League, and President of the st. Johns
Missionary Society of
America. He is the founder of the st.
Stevens Baptist Church of New York,
