Volunteer workers by the hun- dreds are canvassing the sixty- three parishes in the Diocese, hav- ing been equipped with pleqge cards for every known member of the parish. Those who are new in the Diocese, or who are inadver- tently missed in the drive, should phone theh- pastor and a pledge card will be provided. It is, therefore, our obligation to supply full time Chaplains who day and night will be available to the inmates of these institutions that allow no funds for this pur- pose.

Hound of Heaven." • "All which I took from thee I did but take. Not for thy harms, But just that thou might'st seek it in My arms.'' His Excellency's talk follows: My dear People of the Four Southern Counties of California and Friends All: May we, at the very outset, ex- press sincere appreciation to the officials of KGB whose cordial courtesies have made possible these broadcasts. The memory of A.sh Wednesday still lingers. Man, drawn from I dust, shall return to it-his pos- sessions, honors, dignities, com- forts, resplendent home, cars, beauty, strength and power, all crumble away and with their owner become a ruin. The pasteboard triumph, the passing show, crash the promen- ade and dwindle into dust. THE GOOD THAT MEN DO ALONE SURVIVES. But the ashes are not sprinkled without a sign of hope, the sign of the Cross that raises even the dust to heaven. My dear people, does it hurt to hear the truth? The Caesars found what Moscow, Spain, Berlin and Mexico are finding-what the blood of illustrious martyrs has demonstrated for centuries- that the truth cannot be killed. I Even news agencies, callous. and nanow, in a one track margin of , bigotry, many of them bought and enslaved to suppress the truth in every kind of deception, even these live to see themselves stulti- fied when the truth comes out. Man Craves Truth The normal intellect of man craves the truth-eternal truth that carries us plong through t~e storms of despair. Tonight mil- lions of our fellow countrymen, athirst for the truth, live in dark- ness and the shadow of death. May we never cease to be thank- ful for knowing the way, the truth and the light. We are one in faith and one in practice wherever the Ten Commandments are involved. '-------------•:• !

The crying need set forth in this Drive is for the religious in- struction of our children. Here in the United States millions of children grow up in the pagan at- mosphere of Godless schools. Our own Diocese of San Diego has from 12,000 to 15.000 children practically lost to the Faith be- cause there is no one to teach them the fundamentals of their religion. This touches the root of all the trouble, crime and delin- quency. We cannot neglect the little ones. It is impossible at this time to provide parochial schools for this great number. It is, there- fore, necessary to invite Teaching Orders of Sisters to the Diocese, build homes for them and equip them with means of transporta- tion. You who enjoy the Faith and all ils blessings and safeguards musL cooperate. Another necessity in a Diocese of this size is a home for the aged. We cannot ask other Dioceses to care for our destitute. We must build our own shelter for old people. The Carmelite Sisters will take charge of it. Already 10 acres have been given by t11e Sis- ters of Mercy on which to build. Coniforts of Death
