For I this reason, we recommend that all good children pray for all lost souls." The pope issued a veiled rebuke I to Hitlerite Germany when, deal- ' ing with the success of the recent ' international juridical congress in I Rome he said: I "The congress served to remind I the world that the Catholic church equipped it with the benefits of Christian law.

But he hadn't seen anything yet The other night. Brown went to the shop to finish up some work He reached over to switch in a light and. instead, touched off a burglar alarm. Squad cars came flying.

The ceremony occurred in the consistorial hall, where the pope occupied his throne. The cardinals sat on gilded, red-plush ceremonial chairs plcaed in horseshoe fashion around the throne. The prelates of the Roman curia and various lay dignitaries, accompanied by secret and honorary sword and cape chamberlains, were in the background. When the pope had finished his speech, he imparted the apostolic blessing and the cardinals filed before the throne, where they knelt and kissed the pope’s ring. The prelates and lay dignitaries followed. On Christmas the pope celebrates three masses during the night in his private chapel. Fewpersons are privileged to attend.
