He said in the course of his eloquent [sermon?], "This is a message, which if [the?] church would heed, would bring a chain of blessings. I can't understand [how?] a man, who is supposed to know God, can get joy out of his religion. You can't get joy out of your religion, if you have one foot in the world and one in the church. We need to stop and consider the values that we lay emphasis on now. You can't construct a new day and build up a new civilization unless you build up a new heart and get right inside. You can't buy your way back to prosperity " Rev. Green waxed eloquent, then cried "Ahmen" and women shrieked. Suddenly Rev.

CAB CALLOWAY CROWD SMALL PEOPLE FEAR ROWDYISM; AND TIRE OF HIGH PRICES Crowd About One-third That Of Duke Ellington's, And Not As Many Drunks And Arrests Made The much heralded Cab Calloway appearance and dance failed to come up to expectations. The crowd was about one-third of the Duke Ellington affair. This was thought to be caused by the rowdyism of a few rough-necks at the Ellington dance. The high prices of 75 cents and 90 cents also had a hand in keeping the crowd down, it is said. There were not so many drunks, fights and arrests made as at the Ellington dance. The small crowd might have had something to do with it. However, there were enough police on hand to take care of any emergency. Two or three drunks were put out of the Armory and the patrol was called once. Although it was announced the promoters of the affair were young colored men, a well known white man, the Leader was informed, who was busy at the dance, was back of it.
