Dec. 13th, was :Xrchdeacon Fleming, who is in charge of the Arctic Regions of Canada. He gave a forceful and interesting Sermon from the text. VYhat manner of person ought ye to be? fl. St. Peter Il.3l. The offertory was devoted to the Arctic Mission. Christmas Carols were sung and were much appreciated by the large Congregation. On Sunday, Feb. 7th, the Lord Bishop of Ottawa preached the sermon at Evensong, from the text, Lord, I believe: help Thou mine unbelief. CSL Mark 9225. It is interesting to note that a contribution from the School Offertories in Chapel is given annu- ally to the Bishop, which money is devoted to the further help of the Church Army Missioners who work on the Qttawa Diocese some hundred and forty miles up the Ottawa River. On Palm Sunday, at Evensong. a very creditable rendering of The Crucifixionn, by Stainer. was given by the Choir, with the help of Mr. johnson and Mr. Morris, who sang the Bass and Tenor solos respectively. Mr. Wright and the Choir had done much hard work and the result was worthy of hearty congratulations. It may not be out of place to mention here that the Singing in Chapel has improved tremendously under Mr. XYright. The Psalms are now sung daily at the short Morning service. For this purpose, the New t'atbedral Psalter has been introduced.

EDITORIAL Two interesting events of outstanding importance. each in its own sphere-one to do with XYork, and the other with Play-are scheduled during the Summer Holidays. lYe refer to the Imperial Conference to be held in Ottawa and the visit of the Australian Cricket Team, including Don Bradman. XYith regard to the first. we cannot do better than offer a humble welcome to the Delegates from Overseas and trust that the efforts of the Conference to foster Inter-Empire Trade will meet with every encouragement and success. The second item lies more within our scope, and it is up to every past, present and future :Xshburian to lind out when and where the Australians will be playing. and to make every effort to go and see them. XYhether interested in Cricket, or not, it will be an Education in itself to see the Game as it should be played, and much will be learned about Batting, Bowling, placing the men in the Field and the all important art of Backing-up. It is well to bear in mind that the greatness of a Cricketer does not altogether depend on the number of runs made, nor on the number of wickets obtained. It is his example, manner and influence that really matter. These Inter-Dominion Matches will prove this. Do not miss this golden opportunity, for who knows when the Aus- tralians may pass this way again? VVe commend to your notice a new Magazine, produced by the leading Schools in Great Britain, entitled The Gate . The Senior Library has subscribed to it and has found it extremely interesting. Its contributors are Boys only. Here is an opportunity for an Ashburian to gain distinction both for himself and his School by sending in a Contribution worthy of publication. Further infor- mation can be obtained from the Editor of the 'L-Xshburianf' Very happy Holidays to you all, and may kindly weather shine upon you.
