Wednesday, June 30th, 1915.
331st day
The forenoon was spent in the company of Mr Hargreaves, the curate, a young man of ingenous countenance for whom I formed an unusual measure of regard. He shewed me the parish church, a large convenient low–pitched perpendicular building with unusually good acoustics. After lunch I went to the 'Yorkshire United Independent College', and there delivered an address on 'Christianity & Patriotism'. The chapel in which I spoke was crowded to excess, & so far as I could see wholly unventilated. The day was sultry & thunderous: accordingly the atmosphere became asphyxiating, & I acquired a bad headache.
