In Pow rful Sermon _ 1cy Pleads or Starving War Victims-Four Pressing Needs To Be Met By One Giant Collection His xcellency, the Most Reverend Bishop of San Di- ego, ma s it a regular practice to preach every Sunday at the la Masses in St. Joseph's Cathedral.

Diego are a unique rarity. Four long and hard years have now elapsed since the Bishop last e.p- pcaled to his people for financial assistance, On that occasion he asked for $200,000 in the Little Flower Drive; the people respond- ' ed with a gross donation of $437,- 000-- over twice the amount of The stable use to which this money was put is now evident to every San Dieg0.n. It was, in a sense, the financial basi.s upon which this baby Diocese \l'MlS built. It gave the See of San Diego a good financial rating, established its sound credit at the banks. Many improvements in the Dio- cese were me.de possible by those funds. Sisters' convents were con- structed, rectories for resident pastors purchased. Every cent of the money was used judiciously for needed and farsighted reforms and revisions of ecclesiastical properties.
