The Henson Journals

[27]

22nd Sunday after Trinity, October 19th, 1913.

The glorious weather continues. I received the Sacrament in the Cathedral. Budworth celebrated. The boys of the Grammar School communicated in large numbers.

I was motored out to Sacriston where I preached to a large congregation in the parish church. The occasion was a Church Parade of Territorials, Army Reserve, Ambulance, and Boy Scouts. Everybody was most attentive. I returned to the Deanery immediately after the service.

I attended Evensong in the cathedral.

We all motored to Pittington Church, where I preached to a very large congregation which had come together to keep a Harvest Festival. The acoustic qualities of this fine church appear to be excellent.
