KIWANIANS HEAR BISHOP BUDDY IN EASTER MESSAGE "Roman guards stood over the tomb. On the third day there was a blinding light. Christ appeared. Raising His hands to heaven He asked forgiveness for those who had crucified Him. And today we observe Easter." Thus did the. Most Rev. Charles Francis B1,1ddy, hi$hop of the San Diego Catnolic dlo<:ese, yesterday recall the event wh7c)1 Sunday mil- lions furoughuut ··the world will solemnly observe. Speaking before Kiwanians Ki- wani-annes and:~aests in the' Don room, El Coi-leZ::'.hotel, Bishop Buddy recalled: :!au inciaent out- side the waili;"' oT . the great city which provides me with compelling proof of Christ's divinity." Dlth1e Mtitu/le "They had a law in the land that any woman caught in sin would be stoned to death. A howling mob stood outside the gates, stones in hand, ready to kill a woman caught in adultery. Christ appeared, in- quired into the disturbance. 'We are going to stcin.e her.' they shouted. And Christ asked 'Why?' They re- plied 'We have a law.' And Christ said, 'Let one innocent among you throw the first stone.' One by one they dropp~ their stones, sneaked away. Walking over to the woman Christ said, 'Go in pea-ce and sin n~ more.' That was divine." The resur_rection of Christ. Bishop Buddy continued, "is a joy for us. It stands as a victory over death - a victory that today provides us with the hope of life everlasting. After the black shadow of Good Friday disappeared, the light of Easter shone." Bishop Buddy, whose talk yester- day was his first before any local civic organization, was introduced by Msgr. John M. Hegarty. "I arr1 glad for the city that we have a new citizen," Msgr. Hegarty said in introducing the speaker. I "We have a man in our midst who will do his part as a citizen. He is I a man who will walk shoulder to shoulder with you in the task of malliing San Diego a better commu- nity." Creeds United Dr. Frank Lowe, chairman of the program, in presenting Msgr. Heg- arty, said that "Jew, Catholic and Protestant will be glad to stress spiritual things this week. I think it appropriate at this time to recall the words of Pope Pius XI, 'With- out authority given to God, author- ity on earth fades.' "I consider it a genuine pleasure to introduce Msgr. Hegarty, a man whose leadership in this community is known to us all.'' Preliminary to Bishop Buddy's address, the Bonham Brothers' Boys' band, under direction of Jules Jacques, played a concert of appro- priate selections. Both Msgr. Heg- arty and Bishop Buddy paid tribute to sponsors of the band for a band , which "you have built more wisely than even you can appreciate." ~ery Sherwin. club president, I presided at the meeting, which was the club's annual religious program.
