2nd Sunday after Easter, April 14th, 1918.

1350th day

The bitterly cold wind continues. In the teeth of it Marion and I went to the parish church at 8 a.m., and received the Holy Communion. After breakfast I read a curiously muddle–headed piece of work – "Watchman, What of the Night? being some thoughts on the Position & Ideals of the Church of England by R. H. Malden, Principal of Leeds Clergy School["]. I had promised Geo. Macmillan to tell him what I thought of it. Then I attended Mattins in the Parish Church, & heard a sermon from the Rector. I was not unfavourably impressed for the service was reverent, & the sermon coherent. In the Post Office was posted a telegram from Sir D. Haig reporting desperate fighting which was mainly favourable to us.
