2nd Sunday in Advent, December 1st [5th], 1909.

Very cold but fine. Today I enter on the 10th year of my ministry in S. Margaret's. May the all merciful God forgive the sins and blunders which have marred it!

At 8 a.m. Knox celebrated. There were 21 cts. At Mattins there was a fairly large congregation. I preached on the Functions & Authority of the Bible. In the course of the sermon I recommended Principal Forsyth's new book, 'The Person and Place of Jesus Christ'. After Mattins I celebrated the Holy Communion: there were 93 comts.

Wilfrid Hill came to tea: he is a very quaint boy. At Evensong there was but a moderate congregation. I preached from Isaiah XI, and made a reference to the Yellowstone Park in my sermon.
