OF CANON Law
GREAT WORK HAS TAKEN
TWELVE YEARS TO COMPLETE.

The great work of the Codification
of Canon Law is, without any doubt,
at last completed, but the exact date
Of its publication depends on circum-
stances, and the expectation that the
world will have it before the end of
the year may not be realized. Still, it
has taken twelve years to bring it to
completion, and month or two will
hardly matter now. The old division
of the "Concordia'' of Gratian is kept
in this new codification; it is divided
into five books. each itself distinct,
and this division has indeed been ad-
5hered to regularly, standing in the
"Decretals' of Gregory TX and in the
Corpus Juris Canonici.I Persons,
Judgments, Things, Mafrimony, Of
fences and Penalties, were the old
divisions, and these have been ad-
hered to substantially, while at the
same time the new codex will contain
certain notifications to make it more
exact, more practical and more
adapted to modern circumstances and

CARDINAL DELLA VOLPE DIES
HELD MANY IMPORTANT POSI-.
TIoNs IN THE CHURCH.

Cardinal Francis OF Sales Della
volpe died on Sunday, November 5,
after having been seriously i'll for some
time. He was born in Ravenna, Italy,
on December "a, 1874, and was created
Cardinal by Pope Leo XIII, on
June 19, 1899, although reserved in
petto until the public announcement
in the Consistory of April Is, 1901. He
was the Archdeacon of the Church of
Santa Maria in Aquiro, and was raised
to the rank of Chamberlain of the
Church, in 1914, and also held the po-
sition of Arch-C Chancellor of the Ro-
man University, as we'll as that of Pre-
feet of the Sacred Congregation Of the
Index. The Cardinal was also mem
Der of various Roman congregations,
and was the Cardinal protector of diff
ferent societies, among them the Pom.
tifical Academy of Archaeology.
Cardinal Della volpe gained world,
wide notice at the time of the death of
Pope Plus X, by virtue of his Office as
Chamberlain. In his hands was the
charge of Vatican affairs during the
interregnum between the death of
Pope Plus x, and installation of Pope
Benedict XIV. He had also been men,
toned prominently as a possible suc-
cessor to Pope Plus x.

PREVALENCE, FORMERLY, OF
THIS RELIC OF RIeoTRY, WHICH
HAS NOW DISAPPEARED IN
THIS FORM.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
William L. J. Griffin, A. M.
o. o. s.)

Before the Revolution, Pope Day.
November fifth, was annually cele-
brated throughout New England. 1t
was q day known in England as Guy
Fawkes Day, intended to commem-
crate THE Gunpowder Plot of 1888,
or the Papists' Conspiracy, when it is
alleged some Roman Catholics" had
made preparation to blow up the
House of Parliament when King James
/, with the Lords, would be present.
But the plot, it was alleged, was dis
covered by means Of letter to Cath
Olic Lord, warning him not to be pres
ent. The vaults were searched and
the gunpowder discovered. Guy
Fawkes, who was supposed to be the
chief conspirator, being on watch, was
seized and executed.
Boston being city of great cultiva-
tion and refinement, took the lead in
celebrating Pope Day An effigy of
the Pope was made, and generally one
of the devil; these were placed on a
platform and carried by the crowd,
who kept firing crackers which were
home made at first. But when New
England enterprise opened trade with
China the Chinese fire-crackers were
imported for use on Pope Day.
(U. S. C. H. Mag.)
{ When John Adams, on the eve of
July 2, writing to his wife that the
Resolution of independence had that
day been passed, prophesied that the
day would be celebrated by bonfires,
fireworks and other demonstrations
he was but transferring the carvings
on of November S each year at
Boston to the. day he believed would
be commemorated as the Day of Amer
lean independence.
In Poor Richards Almanac for 1749
we find: The fifth OF this month
seems to be a lucky day to the English
Church and British Liberty, for on
that day 1888, the Popish Gunpowder
treason was detected and on the same
day 1888, just one hundred years af-
ter, our glorious deliverer from Popery
and slavery, King William, landed at
Torbay." Loring's Orators of Bos-
ton States says: "The latest day of
the celebration of the Gunpowder Plot
in. Boston was on Monday, Nov. 9th,
1863, when the guns at the Castle and
at the batteries in town were fired and
a pageantry exhibited, elevated on a
stage, carried in derision through the
StrnntS and FnlIownd hy crowd nf

POPE DAY-NOYEMBER FIFTH

Pope and others, which when they
reached Copp's Hill were committed
to the flames"
On November 5, 1775, Washington
had to rebuke his soldiers besieging
Boston, against the improperly of
celebrating the day while an army
was in Canada seeking the assistance,
and getting it, of the people profess
ing the same ''Popish" faith.
''As the commander-in-chief has
been apprised of design formed for
observance of that ridiculous and
childish custom of burning the effigy
of the Pope, he cannot help express
ing his surprise that there should be
officers and soldiers in this army so
void of common sense as not to see
the impropriety Of such step at this
junction; at time when we are solic-
iting, and have really obtained the
friendship and alliance of the people
OF Canada, whom we ought to consider
as brethren embarked in the same
erty of America"
Arnold was then bearing Washing
toms address to the Canadians, urging
them ito range themselves under the
standard of general liberty" Hence
it was not good sense" to insult the
religion" of those from whom they
were asking help. Washington's con-
demnation of the insult" to the re-
ligion of the Canadians rested solely
upon the bad policy of doing it. But
that the army intended the insult
best shows the spirit of it.
In Newport, r. l., on November S,
the crowd carried two large Popes in
the commemoration of Gunpowder
Plot, and they erected a stage on
which the pope and the devil were
exhibited.
Samuel Peck, in 1880, wrote: 1T
was at Taunton, Mass, in 1874, that
| distinctly recollect seeing the pro-
cession of the Pope and the Devil on
the sixth Of November, the anniver-
sary of the Gunpowder Plot. EfTigies
of these two illustrious personages
were paraded around the Commons,
anu tnlS was perhaps the last exhibit
tion of the kind in our country. Sen
timents OF great liberality amid tolera-
tion, together with an entire absence
of Colonial or English feeling, have
contributed to abolish the custom here
'tofore annual, and TO root out all vio-
lent preiudices against the good Bish-
op Of Rome and the Church he gov
erns."
The celebration Of Pope Day in Bos-
ton was always accompanied by vio-
lence. There we're rival Popes from
the North End and South End-the
Avigon and Rome of Boston-and the
followers of each fought to get possess
sion of the opposition Pope. Gov. Han
cock, while speaking at dinner, tried
to use his influence to put an end to

new NATIONAL FEAST
FEAST OF THE MARTYRS AT THE
ABBEY OF ST. MAURICE, swlrz.
ERLAND, BECOMES A CIVIL
HOLIDAY.

Right Reverend Bishop Marientan,
of Bethleim, in the Canton valais,
Switzerland, has worked hard to re.
store the feast of the Martyrs in both
religious and civil sense. A peti-
ton signed by five thousand persons
was received by the civil authorities,
and next year the civil holiday will
be restored. Not long ago Prior Bour-
bon discovered the crypt of st. sigis-
mund, dating from the fourth century.
In this crypt the bodies of the soldier
martyrs were first laid. The Abbey
of st. Maurice has been restored, and
a great celebration recently was held
there. The Bishop hopes next year
at the tomb of st. Maurice and the
soldier martyrs, to celebrate feast
of thanksgiving for Europe at peace.

Along with the Jesuits and the Vim

diocese Of Rome by housing and con-
Quoting the spiritual exercises of the
priests OF the Eternal City and
aspirants to Holy Orders who enter
the officially recognized centers when
the occasion OF their retreat comes
around. The Passionists receive their
guests in IS. Giovanni Paolo. their
ancient international noyitiate on the
Coelian Hill and the residence of the

NUMBER or ARMY cHAPL AIMS.

Among the subjects that engaged
the serious attention of the Archbish-
ops and Bishops of the Province of
Ontario, at their semi-annual meet
ing, was the question of supplying
more chaplains for the Canadian
forces at the front. At present, there
are forty-one Catholic chaplains at
tached to the Canadian armies. Re-
ports from the front indicate an ap-
palling need of priests. The Bishops
have decided to make every effort to
release more of their diocesan clergy,
and to hold no missions during the
continuance of the war, other than
those already arranged for.
