1st Sunday after Trinity, June 5th, 1904.
Brilliant sunshine & a keen East Wind. I went through my duties with difficulty, being chilled & worried. There was a numerous (but not a crowded) congregation at Mattins, where I preached an old sermon, designing thus to arm myself with a complete defence of making any reference to Ingram, whose public onslaught on me last Tuesday in Ely Cathedral has attracted general notice.
I celebrated the Holy Communion after Mattins. Sherwood being absent, I went to the Vestry & conducted his Bible Class.
At Evensong I preached again. There was a fair congregation. Offertories throughout: £27.18.3.
Douglas Eyre came here & stayed the night.
Issues and controversies: strained relationship with winnington-ingram; Easter Day sermon; resurrection
