Very dark, wet warm day. Some rain. Arose 9 A.M. Breakfast. Fooled around. With Ford car after harp but too wet. To S.S. Dinner. To E.B. Church to hear Harry Haines. Walked about. To E.L. and Church & fireside social. Russ & I took Mary Clute & Ruth Pelott home. TO BED 12 P.M.

Looking up information about Harry Haines, I discovered that he was a motivational speaker who gave talks at churches in the Schenectady area and presumably other places. Here is an article about him that came out in the Schenectady Gazette, August 12, 1921. It makes mention of Mr. Haines' two previous appearances in the city, one of which must have been the talk Stanford attended.
Mr. Haines had quite a checkered past, which is detailed more extensively in an interesting article about him in the CCNY newspaper from December of 1922: "Former Criminal Addresses YMCA." Here is the link if you're interested: Harry Haines.
