David Hone’s wife called this morning and said they could not get a cottage so I gave her 10/- as a special grant from the Trustees. A very cold rainy day. Visited Miss Sabin and Charles Barnes. Sent Bank book (POSB) to London for interest to be added.
A delightful day, more like June than November. Drove Bell and Rosa to Banbury. The latter went to the Dentist. Attended the BCS meeting. It was to have been held at Christ Church Vicarage but the number of guests expected was too great to be comfortably accommodated there, so we had our meeting and luncheon in the Broad Street school-room. Mrs Graham Jones and a ladyfriend of hers were present at luncheon. The meeting consisted of 1 Graham Jones, 2 Doctor Wood, 3 ETS, 4 A D Mozley, 5 Riddle, 6 Mountain, 7 Goldingham, 8 Curate of Little Tew, 9 Whitehead 10 Elton II Jordan, 12 Highton, 13 Humphrey.
As we have finished Clement’s Epistle to the Corinthians and it had been proposed at last meeting that we should read the “Didache” alternately, with the New Testament, I proposed that we should go on with 2 Timothy next time and leave the question of the Didache for the present. It was carried unanimously. Graham Jones read a paper on Church Choirs and music. I left at 4.30. Bell and Rosa were awaiting me and we left Banbury for home at about 4.30. I gave the Rector of Tadmarton xxi shillings for his church as a “thank offering” from one who did not wish his name to be made known. He said it would extinguish the debt, and was very thankful for it.
