We are too prome to neglect to praise Him for His goodness, and it is fitting that a special day should. be appointed for such a purpose. It is also a declaration of our dependence upon God. There is a time to be proud of one's independence; all who rightly read the history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries must, sympathise with America's pride in her declaration of independence of outside and irritating interference and unnecessary control, but there is a time to remind ourselves of our dependence upon one another. The European Allies are confronted ly an appalling task to maintain the civili aation and principles of the world. We beckoned to you who were on the other side of the Atlantic and you have readily coma to help us.

In the second half Queen's showed much the better form, but their shotting was weak and they failed to score, although they had many chances. Diocesan never got properly going, the opposing defence being too much for their forwards,

The two teams at the head of the league table, Queen's and St. Joseph's, are fav ourites for the Shield, and the result of the competition will probably turn on game the match between these sides. This does not take place until Wednesday, January th
