Twynholm is the name given to a piece of property, originally intended for a hotel, situated in the western part of London, at the intersection of four streets in Fulham Cross.  These streets make it a place easily reached, and the numerous saloons make the necessity for such an influence as emanates from a church of God very great.  There is a good, commodious audience-room at the rear, and several smaller rooms about the premises.  The front part is owned and controlled by a brother who has a family of Christians to live there and run the restaurant on the first floor and the lodging rooms on the two upper floors, where there are accommodations for a few young men.  Here I had a desirable room, and was well cared for by the brother and sister who manage the house.  The restaurant is not run for profit, but to afford the people a place to eat cheaply and to spend time without going where intoxicants are sold.  The patrons are allowed to sit at the tables and play such games as dominoes, the aim being to counteract the evil influences of that part of the city as far as possible.  One night I attended a meeting of the Band of Hope in a big basement room at Twynholm, where a large number of small children were being taught to pray, and were receiving good instruction along the line of temperance.  Several older persons were on duty to preserve order among these children, many of whom had doubtless come from homes where little about order and good behavior is ever taught.  Soon after this meeting I went up on the street, and there, near a saloon with six visible entrances, a street musician was playing his organ, while small girls, perhaps not yet in their teens, were being encouraged to dance.
