The whole family went down to church this morning as Mr. Rennaud preached. He is here for a short visit, he used to be the rector here 41 years ago and gave a very emotional reminescent sermon. Dad. Enah & the baby stayed down at Aunty's to dinner and Quint and Dick came over here with us. They went off right after dinner to see the Oddfellows march and Frank left soon after to go for a ride on his wheel with Harve Taylor. I waited till Joe had time to eat her noon feed then took her down for Dad. & Enah to drive home. I sat down at Aunty Alice's for about an hour and then started to walk home but got a ride over as far as Martin's with Charlie in his car. I helped Dad. milk then went down to church and then went around with Marjorie to the house. This was his most holy of holy the right reverent Mr. J. Culp's last Sunday in the Methodist church and I guess he gave them a long wind-up sermon anyway. I had a very pleasant visit and left before any of the Bagley family appeared on the scene. I wouldn't have left so soon but poor Marj. seemed to be rather uneasy for fear they would catch me there although she said she didn't care. I went down to Aunty's for a few minutes and found Douglas Skey there. I supposed he had walked down with Mrs. Baker, Mr. Rennaud's daughter, who is staying with Aunty Alice & Aunty.
