The Henson Journals

[182]

1st Sunday in Lent, February 17th, 1907.

I went to S. Margaret's & celebrated at 8 a.m. There were 32 commts. Murray and Mackarness were among the communicants, who numbered but 32.

It being the first Sunday of the Session I thought it fitting to make a direct address to the Members who were not, however, very numerous. I only recognized Sir Henry Fowler, Mr Runciman, & Mr T. Lough. The Sermon was suggested by the first Lesson (the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah) and dealt with the sins of civilization.

Mrs Murray & Signorina Castelvecchia [sic] came to lunch. The latter had some conversation with me afterwards on matters religious; and I gave her a copy of "The Value of the Bible".

Lady Tennant, with two charming children, came to tea. Her husband is a member: & has bought the house in Q. Anne's Gate lately occupied by the Goldmanns.

At Evensong, I preached again: there was a full, but somewhat restless, congregation.

After supper, Murray went off to catch the night mail for Scotland.

On Monday, the 18th Feb. I conducted a memorial service for Wentworth, Lord Allendale.
