The Henson Journals

[410]

Good Friday, April 5th, 1912.

I read the 'Table Prayers' at 8 a.m. The congregation consisted of 2 men & 3 women besides Ramsay & myself.

At Mattins the congregation seemed to me rather disappointingly small. However its behaviour was good. The service lasted nearly 2 hours, but hardly anybody went out. The offertory amounted to nearly £19.

Violet Markham & I walked together across the Park, & had much conversation.

Compston preached a very good sermon at Evensong to a congregation which was larger than I expected.
