COMPLETE TEXT GEORGIA BULLETIN, THURSDAY APRIL 18, 1963 p AG E 3 Easter Message Renewing Pope’s Plea For Peace ATICAN CITY, April 15- Flowing is the text of the Eter message of His Holiness Pe John XXIII in which he me his third plea to man- kii in four days for dedicated effts for world peace. He delered his message over Vatan Radio on Holy Saturday (A# 13) after emphasizing his eas for peace to a group of olomats (April 11) and is- suinjhis lengthy encyclical on peac(April 10). Ve rable brothers, dear child*); Pax/obis—Peace be to you (1). Tls loving greeting of Jesus -ises from Our heart as We*ait to celebrate in a very s>rt time the glory of the Res*rection. FROVTHE first Easter of Our porficate to the present day, the l«n enChristi, of which We spoktto you on Holy Sat urday 19) (2), has, in spite of difficuies, continued to spread itsight over the world. Of this liit, there are three irradiation which we would consider: • The Eimenical Council and the socii encyclicals. • Generoufeervice on behalf of human ancChristian living together. • Goodwishe: bearing en couragement arvblessing. Allow Us first* all to men tion the Second Vatican Ecu menical Council, s very name suffices to arouse «husiasm in everyone who has uderstood its immutable doctrins principles and its all-embracig pastoral objectives which re c h out to the vast horizons oened 20 centuries ago by Oi* Divine Redeemer. Even the secular vorld— which seemed or was laid to be little concerned witlrellg- icus questions—has felne im portance of this assemiy of all the Catholic bishops nd is expecting of it the desird in fluence upon the social stuc- ture. The council is, inded, a beacon toward which not cily the Church's children but ill men of good will are lookig with hope.

EXT TO POT O'GOLD AMPLE PmKKINO TR. 6-0993 BUT THE special interest of these days is centered upon the encyclical Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth) which is de dicated to the right ordering of society as a means of achiev ing the most precious benefit of peace. This letter expounds the thought of the Church upon that subject, and it outlines, in the light of the Gospel, a sy nthesis of all the elements that conduce to true peace in in dividual surroundings of the family and of the community. 0 peace! Much more than be ing a balance of external for ces, peace is a divine gift, a pledge of the love of Ch rist who reconciles souls to the heavenly Father and establishes them in His grace. The in ternal order which is upheld by good will secures a tran quil external order; otherwise this order is unstable since it is dependent on human pru dence. This new document, which is linked with Mater et Magistra, on the subject of peace epitom izes the teachings of our pre decessors from Leo XIII to Pius XIL Toward preserving or re covering this inestimable gift there has been, throughout the last 70 years, a mass of papal teaching, in exhortations and in serious warnings. THE ENCYCLICAL Pacem in Terris is intended as Our Eas ter gift of the year of the Lord 1963. It is the expression of that ardent desire burning in Our soul as universal shepherd of Holy Church, which re- the heart of Jesus. "He is our peace. . . " —says the Apostle Paul—"and coming He preached peace to you that were afar off and peace to them that were high: For by Him we have access both in one spirit to the Father" (3). What a heavenly vision! Peace with God in the fulfilment of His will; peace with man in the respect for each one's rights, for upon each one is signed the glory of the most high (4); peace in families, where the married couple collaborate with the Lord in the transmission of life, and the children grow up "as olive plants, round about the table" (5). Peace within nations, by a watchful interest to promote the ordered development of the life of the citizens. Peace, fin ally, in the mutual relation of the nations, in a loyal deter mination to put an end to sus picions, misunderstandings and hreats. THE TWO documents, Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris, provide new motives for serious reflection on economic, socal and political problems with a view to solving them thr ough a respect and love for those immutable and universal laws vhich are written in the heart cf every man. It is true that nothing is easy, and We do not hide tills fact from ourselves, but with the help of God and with a sincere tribute of subjection to Him, true progress in brotherhood and peace is possible. A good start has already been made, and this should encourage all ? PLEASE NOTIFY US END US THIS NOTICE TODAY; THE GEORGIA BULLETIN P-O.

A'aNTA. GEORGIA to continue and to have confi dence. There is noticeable in.an ever greater number of men a more earnest consiciousness, not only of their own rights, but also of their own duties. WE WISH to pay homage to the world organizations which are laboring in every field- political, cultural and charit able—to serve man in his dig nity as a person, as a brother and as a son of God. In this noble endeavor Catholics are both present and active; and We are confident that the num ber of those who undertake this service in an apostolic manner will Increase. Nevertheless, we must not understimate the difficulties to be met with in such a tremen dous task, and the frequent ob stacles, due to man's inclin ations which are so often dom inated by egoism. The gift of peace will give to each one an awareness of responsibility and of obligati ons, that he may grant to his feilowmen what they expect and have a right to possess. Thus it will prove less arduous to enter resolutely into the comp lexity of human problems and relations through an extension of the Pax Christiana (Christ ian Peace), which arranges everything in its due order and eliminates all sources of so cial and civil disturbance. THIS is the meaning of Ch rist’s Easter: Of its presence among us, its contant newness, its method of conquest. With what truth the Catholic liturgy chants: PaschaNostrum Immolatus Est Christusl (6). This indicates that from the coming of Jesus Christ on earth all has been changed. He be came man, spoke, worked mir acles, died and rose agaim. Wherefore one does not ar rive at life and glory, that true success which consists in the good of all and for all, except through sacrifice. The marvelous liturgical rites of these past days have let their impression anew upon our souls. The Immolated Lamb has been silent before His perse cutors (7), teaching us by His death the secret of truly fruit ful life. May this law be an effective reminder to all those who are responsible for the new gene rations: Parents, educators, as well as all those who are in vested with authority, to con sider themselves at obedience with brotherly discipline and solidarity, for all those who desire to spread throughout the world the light of the Gospel, the echo of Christ's resurrec tion. Venerable brothers and dear children: The solemnity of Easter is above all other feasts. It is the center of history, both of the life of the peoples and of in- vidual men redeemed by Ch rist's Sacrifice. PREPARE then, to celebrate it with great care, dear child ren: all of you, none excepted. The sound of the bells and of the organs, which in a short while will ring out anew, the splendor of lights, the harmony and beauty of the churches, may all this be a reflection of your joyous souls entirely viv ified by the light of Christ Pax vobis, pax vobis! Peace be to you, peace be to you! Always peace. In the heart of every man, in homes, in places of work, in national commun ities, in the world. Addressing once more to all the greeting of Easter, Our thoughts are tur ned to the immense family which the goodness of the Lord has entrusted to Us. We have said it before, and We wish to repeat it: In this hour of moving recollection. We are near to you both in prayer and in affection. We feel Our selves near to Our venerable brothers in the episcopate and to the priests who in every country are spreading the King dom of God with wonderful gen erosity; near also to conse crated souls, in ancient inst itutes as well as in more re cent ones, who, in the silence of contemplation and in the active exercise of the works of mercy, are giving proof of a life generously offered to God and to souls. WE ARE near to men of culture and of study, who are called to a mission which in volves weariness that is often unknown and hidden, the sacri fice of pleasant satisfactions and constant self-control. We are near, with complete trust, to the representatives of the press and of the radio and television, on whose work depends in part the formation or the deformation of public opinion. We entreat them to place themselves at the services of what is good and beautiful, and to eliminate all dangerous sug gestions by which youth and simple people are so often at tracted. IN THE name of God the just Judge We invite all those in responsible positions to re ject the temptations towards easy success. Pascha Nostrum, Immolates Est Chrlstus! We feel Ourselves to be at the side of the workers lab oring in tiie workshops and in the mines, in the fields and in the factories to whom in every hour of the day Our affectionate thought and care goes out. But it is natural that Our Heart beats with a more vi vid sympathy for those suffer ing, for those lacking secure work and to whom the needs of their families bring burning anxiety tempered only by trust in Providence; for all those struggling heroically in adverse situations, exposed to pain known only to the Lord; for all those who are suffering in body and in spirit in the wards of hospitals and in their own homes. O HOW We would wish to come to the side of each of them, to exhort them to sereve con fidence or to offer them—God willing—both strength and joy. O Prince of Peace, risen Je sus, benign guardian of the entire human race. To Thee alone man looks for help and healing for his wounds. As in the days of thy sojourn on earth Thou dost ever have a predilection for little ones, for the humble andfor those in pain; Thou always goest in search of sinners. Make all invoke Thee and find Thee, that in Thee they may have the way, the truth and the life. ALARMED BY PERSECUTION Bishops Act To Save Faith Of 500,000 Sudan Catholics FORESTVILLE, Ohio -NC- The Sedan’s seven Catholic bis hops have launched a crash program to prepare at least 500 lay catechists in an effort to save the faith of approximat ely 500,000 Catholics in the southern part of that country. Alarmed at the stepped up pace of expulsions of mission aries by the Sudan’s Moslem government, the Bishops also plan to sponsor the higher edu cation of at least 250 young Sudanese in the U.’S. and Eur ope. FATHER Anthony Todesco, F.S.C.J., U.S, Provincial of the Verona Fathers at Sacred Heart Seminary here, said these act ions, if they are successful, represent "the only chance to save Christianity from annihi lation in Central Africa." His announcement coincided with publication of a first-hand MUSLIM LEADER report of persecution in the Sudan written by Father John Trivella, 37, Verona Fathers missionary who was expelled last month after 71 days of imprisonment. One of the crimes of which Father Trivella was accused was "using a tape recorder to transmit religious music," WORD also'came from Ver ona, Italy, of the expulsion of Father Caesar Gambaretto, al so of the Verona Fathers, from southern Sudan after 42 years in the Africa missions. In the past three months alone, Father Todesco report ed, more than 100 missionar ies were forced by the Moslem government to leave. Of the 80 priests remaining there, most of them members of the Verona Fathers, about 65 are in active pastoral work in parishes and missions among the half mill ion Catholics of the southern Sudan. All of them are subject to surveillance, Fpther Todesco said, and their expulsion could come at any time. "IF THE Catholic position in the Sudan is further weak ened," said Father Todesco, "the whole of Africa soon may become the victim of Islam, Just as Northern Africa became Moslem when the Crusaders failed to drive the Moslem po wer from the Holy Land." He noted that the Sudanese government’s anti - Christian policy dates back to the year 1956, when the nation became independent. FIRST target of the govern ment was the mission schools, and laws were passed that re- * suited in the confiscation of 350 of them.

(RNS) — Emergence of the Black Mus lim cult in the United States is disturbing leaders of Islam in the Arab world, an inter- Dayton Tests Held BY JOHN OLIVER St. Pius X high school was the scene of the annual University of Dayton testing program. Tak ing the test, which took place last week were 449 eighth grade Catholic grammar school stu dents. Of the 16 grade schools parti cipating in this program, nine were of Atlanta. There was one each from Decatur, Athens, Fort Oglethorpe, Griffin, Hape- ville, Marietta, and Washing ton. Students indicating a desire to attend St. Pius X were 154. One-hundred and twelve chose St. Joseph High School, while 66 intended to go to public schools. Thirty-nine selected Marlst College, and 32 indi cated D'Youvllle Academy. Thirty-one listed Drexel High School as their choice, while 15 remained undecided. Mr. Lloyd A. Ranael, head of the Testing Department of the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio, administered these tests at St. Pius X. national Muslim leader declar ed here. Dr. Said Ramadan, secre tary-general of the World Mus lim Congress, which has head quarters in Jerusalem, Jordan, said the racist teachings of the Black Muslims are "absolutely incompatible with the true te achings of Islam which are bey ond mere boundaries of race or nationalism." DR. RAMADAN, who recently submitted to the United Nations a vigorous protest against the suppression of the Muslim re ligion in the Asiatic areas of the Soviet Union, said he hopes to visit some leaders of the Ne gro cult. "They profess an attachment to Islam and the Koran, but many of their teachings do not seem in accord with Islamic law," he declared. He emphasized that there is no connection of the Black Mus lim movement with any of the institutions of Islam, other than that which is claimed by Black Muslim leaders. DR. RAMADAN expressed fear that the American public would confuse the "race-hat ing doctrines" of the Black Muslims with the religion of Islam to the detriment of "true Muslim believers." "It is a very disturbing thing to us," he said. "If these people wish to be Muslims, they should embrace the teachings of bro therhood which our religion commands." ian missionaries was passage of the Missionary Societies Act of 1962, under which many addi tional restrictions were placed on religious activities. The lengthy imprisonment of Father Trivella apparently was the price of his success among the Zande people, he said in his report. "The day the police truck came to get me,” he said, "I was working on my parish books. I had reason to be afraid because in less thantwo months I had administered 2,000 bapt isms. The Zande people, since they heard about the expulsion of several missionaries, want ed to be baptized immediately for fear that they would not have time to enter the Church." MOREOVER, the district co mmissioner of Yambio, where Father Trivella's mission was located, "had used public funds to build a mosque in the main square of the little town of Yubu, but in one year he had not received notification of one person having become Moslem." The ill will of local govern ment officials toward the jail ed priest was shown by the fact that one policeman was fined for giving him a cup of coffee and another for offering him a bucket of water with which to wash himself. Keep us in Thy peace, O Lamb immolated for our sal vation: Agnus Dei, Qui Tollis Peccata Mundi, Dona Nobis Pa cem I Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, grant us peace. That, O Jesus, is our prayer. Drive far from the heart of man all that could endanger peace, and confirm all men in truth, justice and brotherly love. Enlighten the rulers of the nations, so that, together with a just care for the welfare of their brothers, they may guar antee and defend the great tre asure of peace. Inflame the wills of all to overcome the barriers that divide, to strengthen again the bonds of mutual charity, to be prompt to understand, to sympathize and to pardon, so that the nations may unite in Thy-name, and that -peace, Thy peace, may triumph in hearts, in families and in the^world. In pledge of this most firm peace, the gift of our Divine Risen Lord, and strengthened by Our very good wishes, We are pleased to impart to all who are listening, and to the entire human family, Our pro pitiatory apostolic blessing, in order that "the God of peace be with you all"(8).
