Tuesday, April 30th, 1929.
A fine day but curiously cold, & growing ever colder.
Pelham & I went into Durham, & there I presided at the meeting of the York Provincial Sunday School Council, and delivered the Presidential Address, which I had written before leaving for France. The discussion was rambling and rather futile. I lunched at Bede College, & presided over the afternoon's proceedings. Pelham is neither a lucid thinker nor a ready speaker. I had tea with the Dean, and then talked business with the Bishop of Jarrow. Ella & Fearne joined me in the College, and we returned to Auckland together.
The Times publishes another of the wonderful photographs of wild animals, which Colonel Marcuswell Maxwell has taken in the wilds of Kenya and Tanganyika. Lions, rhinoceroses and buffalo – all in the most natural attitudes. It is miraculous photography.
