xxiv Sunday after Trinity. Fine and mild. HC 14: 9/6.

Rev W E Paige, late of Masterton New Zealand preached this afternoon for SPG. 15s 6d. He came here to tea after service. I drove to Swalcliffe and left Mr Paige there to preach. Then I went on to Tadmarton and preached there for SPG. The church looked very nice. The service was bright and hearty and the singing is greatly improved. This is the first time I have preached in the church since its restoration. I afterwards took supper with Mr and Mrs Riddle.
