3rd Sunday in Advent, December 17th, 1911.
A warm damp day. I celebrated in St Margaret's at 8 a.m. There were 16 comts.
I preached at Mattins in [sic] behalf of the Victoria Clergy Fund. The congregation was by no means large so that I was surprised to find the collection exceed £32.
In the afternoon I preached for Barnett in the Abbey, adapting an old Lenten discourse preached in S. Margaret's 18 months since.
At Evensong, in spite of the rain, there was a fair congregation. I preached on the 'Last Judgment'.
On Monday, the 18th, the Shakespearians – eleven of them – came to dinner. Ernest Bennett was detained by work; & sent a message of excuse. Wilfrid Hill wrote to offer the same plea.
