James Roger diary entry
24th August 1913
Fine cool day; wind west. Mr. Wilder of Townsend preached from Psalm 107: "He satisfieth the longing soul.” A good turnout of people. No evening service as there is to be an open air meeting at Tobey’s [in] Temple. Jessie at Ayer today and telephoned in afternoon.
Great photo. But how uncomfortable must it have been to be trussed up in those clothes of the day?
