I made a start with the Oxford sermon, but with very ill success. In the afternoon I presided at the centenary meeting of the C.U. Association in Hereford. The "deputation" was a dull fellow called Archdeacon Rees, who made a great point of the proximity of lions to his mission station in East Africa, as if lions were a special hardship endured by missionaries. After the meeting I walked on the river–bank with Wynne–Willson. He is evidently thinking more freely than his evangelical masters would approve! I wrote to Cecil Chapman, to Gilbert Darwin, and to Ella. Also I wrote to Welldon, congratulating him on his appointment to Durham.
