The difficulty seems to lie in the question, whether the study of the Bible can be separated from religion. To answer in the affirmative seems like stating a paradox.

...limit of their ability both the intentions of the composers represented, and the in- terpretive demands of the conductor. Mr. Clifton, who has already given signal proofs of his ability as a conductor, cannot be too highly praised for his admirable work with the Pierian Sodality.

During the first half the ice was clear and both teams played well, the Freshmen particularly developing a very consistent offence. St. Paul's did not work so well together and the individual play of Heron and Bangs was mainly responsible for their team's good showing. Snow fell during the second half and made the game perceptibly slower; here the concerted attack of the Freshmen forwards gained a clear advantage over the individual style of their opponents, and by clever passing they scored three times, while St. Paul's could not get the puck out of their own territory...
