as They Begin Four-Day Centennial Celebration Leaders' Portraits Will Be Unveiled at St. Mary's.

For 100 years the Sisters of Holy Cross have worked in pagan lands, among the sick and dying, the wounded on the battlefield, the homeless orphans, the outcasts of society and the millions of souls that came under the tuition, Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy, S. T. D., Ph. D., bishop of San Diego, Calif., said this morning in his sermon at solemn services in the church of Loretto, St. Mary's college, opening a four-day centennial pro- gram of the Sisters of Holy Cross. ''You not only stand beneath the cross, you embrace the three arms of the cross in your vows of pov- erty, chastity and obedience," he to1d the nuns gathered at the cen- tennial mass. "With versatile abil- ity, with surprising insight and unfailing tact, the Sisters of Holy Cross have peopled heaven with saints, and in so doing, they laid, without reserve, the constancy of each hour's duties on the altar of Him, who watches and weighs, who remembers and rewards." Praises Founders. Bishop Buddy, whose five sis- ters were educated -at St. Mary's, two becoming · members of the community, spoke of the array of founders and pioneers who had labored to make the community of sisters an outstanding religious organization, paid tribute to the sisters on the completion of 100 years of work in America. Among the founders and pioneers he men- tioned Rev. Baijil Anthony Mo- reau, Rev. Edward Sorin, Mother Mary of the Seven Dolors, first mother superior in LeMans, France; Mother Angela, cofounder with Father Sorin of the commun- ity in America; Mother Augusta, the first American superior gen- eral; Mother Annunciata, Mother Perpetua, Mother Aquina, Mother Pauline, Mother Claudia and Mother Bettina. In summing up his very touch- ing h•ibute, Bishop Buddy spoke of the aged sisters in the infirm- ary and of the holy dead of the. community, quoting Rev, James J. Daly's "The Grand Review": "They were so restless in the eager q1test Of Christ's realties! Now their ashes rest In calm novitiate _gardens where the bell They harkened to still rings the hoitr of prayer. * * * White troopers on the height, 01ir lowland trail Gropes through the winds and \ White troopers in the L ight, 1 We fight your ancient fight, 1 Help us prnvail." Portraits of prominent leaders and builders in the formation and ::. development of the Congregation " of the Sisters of Holy Cross were to be unveiled at a program this afternoon in st. Angela's hall on St. Mary's college campus. Mother M. Vincentia, superior general was to preside at the meeting'. d The Sisters' ensemble under the direction of Sister M.

BISHOP LAUDS MEASURE N.C.lV.C. Nerrs Service San Diego. July 2-The new Cali- fornia law permit,ting the release of public school children from regular classes to attend religious instruc- tion periods drew high praise from ' Most Rev. Charles P. Buddy, Bishop of San Diego, who asserted the move will do much toward quelling the growing tide of juvenile delinquency in many communities. '·Passage of this law,'' the Bishop said, ·'shows the ba.sic difference be- tween our democracy and Hitler·s dictatorship in that we reassert that the child is not the creature of the state but that he is the child of his parents who may direct his spiritual training."
