Diary of Montague Hardwick Knott 1957
Sunday 21.7.57
In rather a sporadic manner I
have kept diaries in the past. Today
marks a change in my affairs & it seemed a fit occasion to commence further
records.
Today I have concluded my
duties as a curate at the Parish Church of St Mary, Walthamstow. My friend the Vicar, Kenneth Druitt,
graciously invited me to preach both morning & evening. I felt great
liberty & judge that God prospered the word spoken.
It has been a moving
experience for my Beloved and I. The friends at Church have been so kind in
their expressions of good-will.
The Misses Brown came home for
coffee & cakes, and also Mrs Cuttlar who was also with us for tea. The
Misses B gave us a pretty cushion as a parting gift.
We have had heavy rain with
lightning & thunder during the day. It
became brighter this evening. Quite a
lot of private traffic on the roads. The provincial bus strike which commenced
yesterday has disrupted things a good deal according to the radio news.
Mr Simmons telephoned me
tonight regarding my Institution to Blackmore on Thursday next. Walter Jameson
rang from Chelmsford to let me speak to Eric Barker. He will come to the C.T.C.A. Luncheon
tomorrow.
God has given me a good day.
We are both grateful for his many mercies.
