The authoritative statement is made at
the State Department that James Hamil-

HIS CHURCH NO BARROOM
Rev. Simon Drew Indignant at
Some Insinuations.
Thinks His Congregation Has Right
TO shout amen" as Loud
as IL PIeaseS.

Nothing daunted by the wild and stri-
dent objurEations Of residents living in
the neighborhood Of the Cosmopolitan
African Baptist Church Brother" Simon
Drew led his flock in prayer and sang
last night. and for two hours OF more the
strenuous "Amens" and 'HaIlelujahs-'
tore the blue ethereal into inhniJesimal
sh-eds
The pitch Of the pastors powerful voice
was not modulated the fractional part Of
a demi-tone. nor was the singing softened
the slightest bit Rev Drew insists that
the Cosmopolitan Temple is a church and
not a barrOom. and declares that Jehovah
cannot be muzzled.
John r Galloway owns a big apartment
house. the Henrietta. two blocks from
the church. and his tenants have bonn
barded him with complaints OF disturb
ance Of their peace. Mr. Galloway has
acted as the spokesman for his tenants
and other residents Of the neighborhood
and has assured the Commissioners that
the unrestrained fervOr OF the colored
congregation IS out Of all proportion 10
the requirements Of revealed religion. Mr..
Galloway says he occupies apartments in
the Henrietta himself and knows what il
is to have his early sleep shattered on
meetin- nights and during prolonged re-
vivals. TO say nothing Of his rude awak-
ening on Sunday mornings when he IS
trying to hit the pillow for a long and
lonesome rest
Mr.. Galloway and the good people OF
his neighbOrhOOd are unable 10 get the
point Of view q the Rev :. p. W Drew,
pastor Of the Cosmopolitan Temple Bap-
list Church. who is amazed that any body
OF citizens should Try 10 interfere with
the plan Of good coIo-ed people Of getting
10 heaven. Mr.. Galloway and his people
think that the wide. deep voice Of Pastor
Drew. which. they say. can be heard for
two blocks while ire is preaching. could
as readily open the path OF glory If it
we're moderately subdued. and he thinks
the interruptinE -amens-' and cries OF his
church people ought 10 have some limit
Of sound. To all Of that Rev Dr. Simon
P W. Drew makes response:
You can't stop the voice Of Jehovah.
That's what these folks are trying
10 do-stop the voice of Jehovah
Ny. people shout Amen and I'm not go
ing 10 stop them. This is d church. and
not a barroom- Il has prestige. which
has been given % Il by the conduct Of
those who are members of the congre-
cation. Again, I say, this is not dance
hall We are not hostile 10 any one We
are a church
