The Henson Journals

[93]

Thursday, June 21st, 1923.

The "Times" publishes the letter I wrote on Tuesday, adding as a title "Bishop of Durham's Warning". It fills rather more than a column, & reads rather fiercely. But, perhaps on that account, it may succeed in arresting attention. I shall be more than ever supposed to be a hard persecutor, a kind of Bonner redivivus!

I spent the morning in trying to prepare a sermon for York Minster. My text, "Shall two walk together except they have agreed?" lends itself to an ecclesiastical application, which, as the National Assembly meets in the days following, I propose to make.

In the afternoon, the weather, having become warm, I played bowls with William: & then returned to my sermon.
