OCESE OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORJ. TIA, FRIDAY, OGTOBER 6, 1939

Los Angeles, last Friday at the Solemn Ponti- fical Mass marking the centen- ary of the Little Sisters of the Poor. Friday's Mass, celebrated by His Excellency, the Most Rev. John J. Cantwell, Archbishop of Los Angeles, was the prtncipal re- ligious ceremony of the three-day celebration. Dignitaries of Church and state were present among the congregation of all religions and no religions who have become friends of the Little Sisters of the Poor during their 35 years in Los Angeles. "Instead of bread and milk, too many poor get the stones of ques- tionnaires and the serpents or stinging rebukes," His Excellency said in speaking of the mode1n tendency of relief work in com- parison to that extended by the Little Sisters.
