 tion for lieutenant passes best in

Good Friday (Gr. Pascha Stauro- 

 simon, Pasch of the Cross ; paras- 

 keue, Holy Friday; Lat. dies absolu- 

 tionis). Name given in the R.C. and 

 Anglican Churches to the Friday in 

 Holy Week (q.v.) on which the 

 Crucifixion is commemorated. In 

 England, to which the name was 

 for a long time peculiar, it super- 

 seded that of Long Friday, an 

 allusion to the fast. The name 

 pascha, afterwards appropriated to 

 Easter (cf. Acts xii, 4, as given in 

 A.V. and R.V.), derives from the 

 association of the day with the 

 time of the Jewish Passover. 



In the Anglican Church special 

 collects, epistle, gospel, lessons, 

 and psalms are appointed for the 

 day, which is frequently observed 

 by the Three Hours service, from 

 noon to 3 p.m., during which the 

 attention of the congregation is 

 specially directed to the Seven 

 Last Words : it was for this service 

 that Haydn's Last Words of the 

 Redeemer were written. Among 

 old English customs was that of 

 the royal blessing of cramp-rings 

 (q.v.) for prevention of the falling 

 sickness.

In the R.C. Church the altar is 

 at first bare, no candle is lighted, 

 the officiating priests wear black 

 vestments. After the altar has 

 been covered with a white cloth 

 and special prayers have been said, 

 there follows The Adoration of the 

 Cross. Communion is forbidden 

 except in case of sickness. In the Ro- 

 man Catholic and Greek Churches, 

 for the ordinary Mass, the Mass of 

 the Presanctified is substituted ; in 

 this the priest receives as commu- 

 nion a Host (q.v.) consecrated on the 

 previous day. The Roman office 

 known asTenebrae (Lat., darkness) 

 and observed on the Wednesday, 

 Thursday, and Friday of Holy 

 Week, is so called from the gradual 

 extinction of the lights in the 

 church during the service, in com- 

 memoration of the darkness that 

 covered the earth at the time of 

 the Crucifixion. For this office, 

 which has been introduced of 

 recent years into some Anglican 

 churches, music has been composed 

 by Palestrina, Salvatore, Michael 

 Haydn, and others. In England 

 and Ireland Good Friday is ob- 

 served as a Sunday. See Easter. 



Good Hope. British armoured 

 cruiser of the Drake (q.v.) class. 

 Originally named Africa, she was

 the largest ship of her class hi the 

 world, being 500 ft-, long and 71 ft. 

 in beam, with a displacement of 

 14,100 tons, a trial speed of 23'5 

 knots with engines of 30,100 h.p., 

 and an armament of two 9 '2 -in., 

 sixteen 6 -in., and twelve 12-pounder 

 guns. Her principal armour belt 

 was 6 ins. thick. 



From 1902-12 the Good Hope 

 served almost continuously as a 

 flagship of cruiser squadrons, and 

 hi the latter year went to the 

 Mediterranean as flagship of the 

 commander-in-chief, being trans- 

 ferred to the reserve in Nov. In 

 Aug., 1914, she was commissioned 

 for service as flagship of Rear-

Good Parliament. Name 

 given to the parliament that met 

 hi April, 1376. To reform the gross 

 mismanagement of national affairs 

 towards the end of the reign of 

 Edward III, the Commons re- 

 solved to withhold all grants until 

 their grievances were redressed. 

 Through Sir Peter de la Mare, who 

 thus founded the office of Speaker, 

 the'y presented a list of petitions to 

 the king, set up a council of 12 

 peers to advise the sovereign, and 

 imprisoned and deprived of their 

 lands two of his ministers, Lords 

 Latimer and Lyons, who had been 

 guilty of corruption and general mal- 

 practice. The parliament, which 

 was dissolved July 6, 1376, holds 

 an important place hi the history 

 of the constitution.
