The Henson Journals

[445]

Easter Day, April 11th, 1909.

The glorious weather continues. There were in all 399 comts in S. Margaret's distributed thus:

At	7	a.m.	42	This is an increase of 48 over last year: & beats the record.
“	8	“	130
“	11	“	225
			399

I preached on 1.Cor. xv.53.

There was a large congregation at Evensong, and a very jubilant service ending with the "Te Deum". I preached on the text: 'The first Adam was made a living soul: the second Adam became a life–giving Spirit'.

At supper there came Monty Parker, Albert Saxton, Gilbert, Hine–Haycock, Knox & his wife, Linetta, & Mary.

So came to an end my last Sunday in Westminster for some months.

On April 13th 1909 my wife and I left England for America, and did not return until August 6th.

Some account of our doings during that interval is preserved in a separate journal.
