JAMES C. O'NEILL writes from VATICAN CITY THE HOLY FATHER'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD WARNED AGAINST EXCESSIVE NATIONALISM, RACISM AND MILITARISM AS OBSTACLES TO ATTAINING THE GREAT REALITY OF BROTHERHOOD OF ALL MANKIND. In his broadcast over Vatican Radio, the Pope said his recent trip to "what India confirmed Christianity has been saying for centuries . . . all men are brothers." To foster brotherhood, the Pope urged promotion of prudence by magnanimous disarmament and at the same time a drive to overcome the world's hunger, misery, sickness and ignorance. Moreover, he called for respect for the beliefs of others and the true freedom of the exercise of the religion of one's choice.
ALL MEN The Pope began by extending Christmas wishes to all the faithful and then also "to all men of all ages. of all countries, and of all beliefs . . . This year the message we address to all our hearers is one of brotherhood, a brotherhood which is more meaningful, is more accepted, more universal, than the type - which now unites men." Among other obstacles to brotherhood the Pope listed class barriers and the spirit of division and strife which today are stamping our society "with tragic and bitter marks of division and hatred. Men are not happy because they do not live as brothers." The Pope noted that some may ask: "Is not religion a motive for the division among men? And especially Catholic the religion, so dogmatic, so demanding and so discriminating?" His answer was "Yes." But he added: "It is not of its very nature a divisive element . . . It is not the nature of religion to oppose itself to people. It is on behalf of people, of their fundamental aspirations to God, and their right to manifest this externally in a worthy form of worship" that religion works. He added: "It is for the Church to express its sorrow when these activities are "impeded, hindered, forbidden, and even punished by forces of public Power." The Pope said he wished to proclaim what the Church has continued to proclaim: - Justice and religious liberty well undertitood." This includes safeguards against undermining the foundation of the beliefs of others when they are not contrary to the common good;" against imposing "a faith not
accepted" really and against the use of "odious discrimination or undeserved vexations." Moreover, he said there is also demanded "the promoting of respect for whatever is good and true in every religion and in every human opinion, with the special intention of promoting civil concord and collaboration in every sort of activity." The Pope declared -this today is more than ever our programme. convinced as we are that the world needs love, needs to break the bonds of selfishness within itself and needs to embark on a sincere, everincreasing, universal brotherhood."
OBSTACLES In treating of the major obstacles to brotherhood the Pope stated that nationalism "divides people, putting them in opposition to one another." Nationalism leads to "closed outlooks, exclusive interests and self-sufficient ambitions, if not greedy and overbearing forms of imperialism. This enemy of human brotherhood is today gaining strength." To offset exclusive nationalism, the Pope said: "We appeal to governments and people to be watchful and to moderate this facile instinct of prestige and rivalry." SEE PAGE NINE Dr"- ,•••••,_

Wired For Sound ADELAIDE: SEVERAL PARISH PRIESTS HERE ARE FACING THEIR SUNDAY CONGREGATIONS WIRED FOR SOUND. A battery rests in one pocket ,a wire runs under vestments to another, and a microphone is hidden under the folds of a chasuble. And, although there is no tell-tale cord on the sanctuary floor, every sound the microphone picks up is being recorded in the sacristy. There is nothing sinister in all this. It is part of a sound system to enable every word of the Mass to be heard by every member of the congregation. The microphone under the vestments replaces the four microphones at use in many churches—one on either side of the altar, a portable one held by an altar boy while the Epistle and Gospel are being read, and a fourth in the pulpit. It does not pick up the rustling of vestments as the priest moves. The tape -recorder in the sacristy, which is activated by the speaker's voice and turns itself off when he is silent, can be used for recording sermons. The system was installed in many churches in Great Britain in November in time for the introduction of the use of English in the Mass at the beginning of Advent. But it has been in use in Adelaide for about 18 months. Croydon was the first South Australian parish to adopt the hidden microphone. The clip-on microphone system can be adapted for less than £ 100 in a church that already has amplification fitted. Amplifiers and recorders add to the cost.

Pope Sends Help For Homes
POPE PAUL VI has sent a gift of EA4,500 to help build 200 homes for destitute families in Higuey on the occasion of the International Marian Congress to be held in Santo Domingo on March 18 to 25, 1965. The 400-year-old city of Higuey, in the Dominican Republic, is the site of a famous Marian shrine attracting many pilgrims from every part of the country.
