THE REV WILLIAMS
Says He Was Not Elected From Billy
Sundays Tabernacle---CoIored
Minister Statement.

Discussing the published reports that
have appeared in the Baltimore dali
les after having been given much space
in The Pro-Afican, to the effect that
he. with others OF his race, who had
gone to tie big Billy SUNDAY Taber
nacle, on Wednesday had been elected
from the meeting, the Rev. S. F. Will
Jams, pastor OF Asbury NJ E. Church.
this city this morning expressed regret
that the affair had been given the pub
licity it has, and then expressed very
great admiration for Sunday and his
work.
The whole affair, in the opinion OF
the Annapolis member OF the party in
volyed, was not one felt by him to in
yolve any Jim Crow ruling or-ugly
race discrimination, but was simply
brought about by the action Of one
usher or doorkeeper Here is the
statement made BY the Rev f. S.
Williams
The statement, as published in Ger
tain Baltimore papers. that l was ejec-
ted from the tabernacle IS not based
enirely upon fact In company with
my wife ! went to the tabernacle last
Wednesday night When we approach
ed the entrance a door-keeper said ar
rangements viii be made for colored
people in their own churches I ask
ed if that meant we could not so into
the services. 1t replied that it meant
what he said
We then walked around to ia other
side. inspecting the building. when an
other doorkeeper. who said he was
member Of the Madison Avenue Meth
odist EpiseoaI Church told us that we
might enter. This first oflicous door
keeper had followed us around and
had demonstrated with the other one
who said we MIGHT enter. He went Z,
an usher and we were informed that'he
was sorry, but that Mr.. Sunday woule
hold a special service later for color
ed people, which would be duly pub
lished
Il had not entered the building, and
therefore, W as not elected have as
high sense of honor and self-respect
as any man. and. therefore, did moi
force myself upon the meeting. hence
the statement that we 'demurred' and
we were ordered to leave is untrue
do not like this unpleasant notoriety.
and regret my name was published in
this connection unless il was lust as
il occurred
My impression from the start was
that the doorkeeper in question took ii
upon himself 70 assert. his authority
and keep us from the meeting. and 7
so expressed myself TO those in com
pany with me"
