One of the questions posed to the medium Francisco Cândido Xavier during the famous TV Tupi program Pinga Fogo was this: Why the Spiritism doesn't act in the human politics in order to help the less favoured? This is the theme of this week's editorial, entitled "The vaccine against the penury is work”.

One of the highlights of the week is the interview conceded by our confrere Ilisia Garcia Ramires, from João Pessoa, Paraiba’s capital, to our editor and publisher Orson Peter Carrara. Along the interview, the confrere explains about his experience in the implementation of the Systematic Study of Spiritism (INCE) and the resulting benefits from this program implementation.

Another highlight of this edition is the analysis made by our confrere Jose Sola, from Sao Paulo (SP), about the book The Spirit of Chico Xavier, written by the medium Carlos A. Baccelli, in which the author insists that Chico Xavier is the reincarnation of Allan Kardec, the Spiritism encoder.

The city of Oslo, Noruega’s capital, chaired a seminar about Spiritist evangelization of children and the youth, which happened on the 13th March and was organised by the groups GEEAK-Norge and Leon Denis, which are based in the same city. The full article is part and one of the highlights of this edition.

In 1945– 21st of March – our confrere Frederick Augustus Gomes da Silva has passed away. He was one of the founders of the Spiritist Federation of Rio Grande do Sul. The entity’s founding was preceded by extensive discussion of its Statute, which happened as from October 1920, under the coordination of a committee chaired by our confrere, whose death is remembered on today’s date.
