Bic_;hop Buddy again expressed his appreciation for the wonderful reception he has received in San Diego. "I have great hope for the future," he said. "Happy days are here and I like the set-up of your organization. Let us always re- member that many acts of chari- ty are never written into reports. The finest thing that any of us can do ls to care for the poor and lighten the burden of those who are in distress."
