We had a special service here that day, because of the great seriousness of the European situation. We began with the Litany Followed by the Celebration. Mr Smith asked everyone to stop at the end of the Service.

We heard no news all day. it was very hot, I walked over to Bradstone Rectory to call on the Locum Tenen’s^*1 Wife, whom I failed to find. Mary, Ursula, Frank & Reginald walked over to Marystowe to settle about the proposed camp on Dartmoor which considering the exceeding dampness of the weather, they wish to put off.

Very large congregation at evening service.

[^*1 Locum Tenens = Person in residence.]
