The result is that the Pope's day is probably the longest of any man of world-wide fame. It begins shortly after dawn and often ends anly at 2 the next morning. It starts with prayer and ends with prayer. Between times, there are all the multifarious papors dealing with church matters, the audiences to cardinals, priests and inymen from all over the globe, the great St. Peters, stately ceremonies in
