I strove with strangely little success to write my lecture on 'the Problem of Moral Discipline' as it must be solved by the modern Church: but I find it hard to state clearly what it is that I precisely mean by the phrase! Finally, I gave up the attempt, & wrote a long letter to Mr Cecil Hubbard, from whom I recd various inquiries respecting Welsh Disestt.

We lunched with Pearce. He had also as guests Buckle & his wife, & Sir George Martin & his.

Then I went to St Margt's and married Mr Douglas Kerr to Miss Flett. By request, I gave them an address instead of the Homily in the P.B.

From the Church I went to the Barber, & had my hair cut &c.

We dined at the Mansion House 'to meet the Abps & Bps', and afterwards we attended a reception at Lady Glenconner's 'to meet the Prime Minister & Mrs Asquith'. As we arrived a Suffragette was being roughly pushed out of the house. I was ashamed to witness the scene.
