First Sunday in Lent. HC 15. Collections for Church Missionary Society morning 9/3, afternoon 6/1. Bright morning; snow fell in afternoon to the depth of about 3 inches. It was so intensely dark at 3 o’clock that we were obliged to have the lamps lighted. The darkness lasted from 20 to 30 minutes. I asked Mr Woolgrove into the vestry and told him I had summoned the Trustees for Tuesday March 12th.
