I attended a meeting of the school–managers.

Butcher telegraphed to me, asking an interview to consider Chamberlain's Amendment. He came at 3 p.m., and we were agreed to condemn it. Later, I picked up Frank Pember, and brought him in to tea. He inclines to secularism. We dined with Lough. There were present among others, Leonard Courtenay, Prof. Stuart, Herbert Lewis, Mackinnon Wood, Gow. Our host is amazingly communicative, but I suspect that the quantity of his information is more remarkable than its quality. He told me that my name provoked 'howls' in the House!!

My father–in–law arrived from Switzerland.

I finished reading an admirable work by a Free Church of Scotland divine, Dr Forrest, on "The Authority of Christ".
