Apart from the fruitlessness of all attempts to permanently restore such men to sobriety, it has been found that their presence in the Home has had an injurious effect; some having been retarded in recovery through their influence, and others led away into vicious courses.
There is a chapel in the building, capable of holding over two hundred persons.

In this, Divine worship is held every Sunday afternoon.

A minister from some one of the churches is usually in attendance to preach and conduct the services.

It rarely happens that the chapel is not well filled with present and former inmates of the Home, their wives, children and friends.

Every evening, at half-past nine o'clock, there is family prayer in the chapel, and every Sunday afternoon the president, Mr.S.P.Godwin, has a class for Bible study and instruction in the same place.
