The Henson Journals

[120]

19th Sunday after Trinity, October 14th, 1928.

A bright and frosty morning. The leaves grown more brilliant and fall more quickly, like the efforts of aging geniuses, which cannot be sustained.

I celebrated the Holy Communion in the chapel at 8 a.m. We numbered 13 including three Brydens and five guests.

After breakfast I wrote letters to the following:–

1.	Canon Solloway.
2.	Rev J. E. Dobbie
3.	Gilbert Simpson
4.	Gerald Rainbow
5.	W. Allen Young.
6.	Frank Pember
7.	Sir James Marchant
8.	Mary Lyttelton
9.	Sir George Craik

Everybody motored into Durham to attend service in the Cathedral, but before doing so Godfrey & I walked in the Park, which is now resplendent in autumnal glory.

I motored to South Shields, & there preached in the large hut, which does duty as S. Francis's church. It was the dedication Festival. Both the clergy, Warner & Day, are very poor creatures.
