NEW U SE FOR CHURCH.
The old chapel where Deroe is supposed to have worshipped at Tooting has been convened into a billiard saloon. There have been many changes in old South London places of worship of recent years. The Sutherland Chapel, in Walworth road, was the first such pla 'e to be turned into a picture palace, and soon afterwards the famous Hanover Park Chapel at Peckham went the same way. Rowland Hill’s old chapel in Blackfriars Road is now the headquarters of London boxing, and also has periodical picture shows. An old Baptist chapel in Clapham is now a post office. Nonconformist places ot worship especially suffer by reason of movement of population. As the people move further out of London the chapels lose their congregations, and without the aid of wealthy supporters they are unable to keep open. Still, the shutting up of Nonconformist chapels in Loudon has been accompanied by the opening of many new chapels in the outer ring of London.
