Pope Paul Pictures World Veering Towards War POPE PAUL has warned that the world's post-war resolutions "of brotherhood, of unity and of peace" are dangerously veering towards totalitarianism, racism and the other gaunt outriders of war. "MANKIND IS HESITATING BETWEEN PEACE AND WAR," HE WARNED. The Pope spoke from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica efore a crowd of perhaps half a million who had gathered b in the vast piazza for his Easter Mass. His address was beamed by Vatican Radio across the world, and a direct link-up of the Eurovision network brought him and his words into homes throughout Western Europe. THE Holy Father addressed his brothers "near and far"—Catholies, other Christians, "and finally all men, who are our brothers by reason of the human nature which links all of us as sons of God and, as sharers in our common natural destiny of life and death."
"The Shout Of Faith" He urged them to listen to his Easter message, which he summed words: up in four "Christ has risen again!" He called this exclamation "the shout of faith," but asserted it also "bears witness to a real truth which fills the world with the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ and which fills men with light and hope." Christ's Resurrection "highlights the unity of men among themselves." He explained: "Having been united to the one and only Master and made capable of a higher love, they now can find happiness in loving one anther and in doing good' to each other." Calling the Resurrection "history's eternal springtime," he said it e ncourages him to "speak confidently of this triumph of unity in love and justice, in liberty and progress." But he spoke of the saddening spectacle of today's world and "the struggles, the inconsistencies, the opposition . with which it is travelhng on the road to unity, which is a road of peace, of concord, and of collaboration."
Post-War Years He spoke of the postwar years and the "resolutions of pardon, of brotherhood, of unity and of peace" which sprang from the hearts of all. SEE BACK PAGE Mr'

University Act COUNCIL INDULGENCE Of Worship PREACHED IN CATHEDRAL ON Sunday, May 1, at 11 a.m., the A nnual Combined Act of Worship will be held in Winthrop Hall at the University. Bishop M. McKeon will be present and will read one of the prayers. Lessons will be read by the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Stanley Prescott, by Mr. L. E. LeSouef for the Senate, and by the President of the Guild of Undergraduates.
The occasional sermon will be preached by Archbishop George Appleton of the Anglican Church and prayers will be read by representatives of the Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. Preceding this, at 10 a.m., Mass will be celebrated in the Chapel of St. Thomas More College so that Catholic graduates and students will have the opportunity of receiving Holy Communion together before proceeding to the University.
INTEREST
Widespread interest in the Combined Act of Worship has been shown since the inaugural ceremony last year. Universities in other States have written requesting copies of the form of service, and other related bodies have since developed occasional ceremonies.
SEATING In 1965 there were around nine hundred people present and attendance is expected to be even greater this year. Catholics were more than proportionately represented last time. If seating is required, then an early application for tickets is suggested. It would be very desirable if graduates in Religious Orders could participate in this function and other graduates are asked to invite their husbands or wives to accompany them. Academic dress ought to be worn if possible. Executive officers of the Guild of St. Apollonia, St. Luke's Guild, the Newman Society and the Guild of Catholic Teachers have expressed the hope that all members of those bodies will attend. Cards of admission for Winthrop Hall may be obtained from the Main Administration Office or the Office of the Guild of Undergraduates at the University or by post from The Secretary, .St. Thomas More College, Crawley, W.A.
