The Henson Journals

[78]

Monday, December 12th, 1921.

Another glorious sun–rising – the whole sky flaming with gold & rose. All the doubts & scepticisms in the world cannot prohibit or arrest on human lips the old chant – "Te Deum laudamas".

I wrote to Gilbert, and sent him "Anglicanism" as a Christmas gift.

Laws has purchased on my behalf a pair of pigs, and he shewed me where he meant to keep them.

The Bishop of Newcastle writes in very kind approving terms of "Anglicanism". I am pleased because I like the man, and value his judgment; also because I am grateful for anything that may serve as an assurance that, in writing so plainly, I was doing rightly.

I have sent copies with inscriptions to:

1. Arthur. 2. Gilbert. 3. Clayton. 4. Mrs Clymont. 5. W. P. Ker
