Tuesday, February 17th, 1914.

I took the chair at Ella's Meeting for the Zenana Mission, slipping away during its progress to go off to York for the Convocation. I travelled with a gentleman, who started immediately to discuss Kikuyu, and finally introduced himself as Lieut. Colonel Challoner, a member of the Northern House of Laymen. At Darlington we changed trains. In the carriage was the Duke of Northumberland, with whom I travelled out in the Archiepiscopal motor to Bishopthorpe.

Lang, who had been in town for a wedding, appeared at dinner. The Bishops of Manchester, Liverpool, Durham, Newcastle, & Wakefield and divers clerics & laymen were staying in the house. I sate betwixt two laymen at dinner.


Issues and controversies: Kikuyu
