“GOOD TIMES St. John's Home, Church Street, Edgware Road. - On Boxing Day a dinner and tea was given to the lodgers of the Home, consisting of roast beef, plum pudding, and afterwards dessert, and to each person present was given a packet of tobacco, followed by a concert and a lecture on Paris, by G. P. Gooch, Esq., with lime-light illustrations. After grace had been sung the Rev. W. Carlile, accompanied by the Rev. T. J. and Mrs., Williams, visited the home and after Mr. Carlile had wished the lodgers a merry christmas, The Rev. T. J, Williams addressed those present, and said what pleasure it gaveboth to himself and Mrs. Williams that her endeavour to establish the Home had been so successful. Afterwards the Rev. Carlile addressed those present in a kind and manly speech, pointing out to the lodgers that owing to the good management of the Captain in Charge and his wife, the Home was not only self-supporting, but able out of the profits to provide festival occasions like the present. Then followed the concert, and some very good songs were sung by the Reverend findley, of Southwark, and other friends of G. P. Gooch, Esq. accompanied by good choruses which he requested all would join in. (...) By One of the Lodgers.”
