and Boats.
A public house is one of the last
places one would expect to be used as
a place Of worship. The inhabitants
of Twyford, a village near Winchester,
would not consider this at all a nov
city, because for several years past
the Phoenix inn has been used Sunday
for religious purposes. The room in
which the religious services are held
will comfortably hold about 200 people
and opens at the back on to a pretty
tea garden. The most remarkable fea-
ture of the services Is that they are Of
ten conducted while the public house
is open for business purposes, and the
customers can join in the singing if
they are SO disposed.
There are two or three instances of
public houses which have been con-
verified into churches, and there are
also two or three theaters which are
now places Of worship. The Fen dis
trict possesses a canalboat church.
There are a large number Of people
