about twelve years ago. Last year
it was edited and published by
Pope Benedict XIV. The new code
comprises canons made during the
last four centuries, and presents
the laws of the Church as apple
able to present times and condi-
lions. These laws have been gath
cred into one volume of five books.
The first book deals with the in
depreciation of rules; the second,
with legislation regarding the
clergy and laity; the third, with
the sacraments; the fourth, with
the procedure governing ecclesias-
teal trials; the fifth, with ecclesi-
astical punishments. Before this
compendium was published the
various canons were. sent to the
Catholic Hierarchy throughout the
world for suggestion and criti-
cism. The final draft Of the new
Code was then approved by the
Pope.

The great work of the Red Cross
appeals in a special manner to all
Christians, whose badge ever has
been charity for our felloW-men.
Cardinal Gibbons has said:
"There is in these times a veri-
table ocean of sorrow and suffer
ing engulfng millions Of souls, and
a society with the membership and
resources of the Red Cross, actu-
ated as it is by Christian prin-
ciples, can best undertake the ire
mendous burden of extending in
telligent and efficient relief. In
particular [ approve of the Red
Cross activities as they are di-
rected towards supporting the
courage, and caring for the in
juries of our young soldiers and
sailors. 1t is my earnest hope
that all Of our people will cheer
fully and generously cooperate
with the Red Cross Committee in
their efforts towards reaping the
fullest measure of charity that il
may be possible for the society to
attain. +"
The active participation of oul
troops abroad in the defence OF
our country and it's institutions
brings home to us more emphatic
ally than ever the necessity Of Rec
Cross work. Through the offer
