In this Edition, a brief history of medium Maria Geny Barbosa  
 

“What will come after death?”  here's the title of the Editorial Board of the week that reminds us that life in the spiritual world is not a goal to be achieved but only one of the phases of multiple experiences that man ought to face, on the roadway towards perfection.  

Among the great contributions to this Edition we would like to draw your attention to the interview granted to our correspondent, Guaraci Lima Silveira, by our fellow spiritist Maria Geny Barbosa, from Juiz de fora - M.G., who is now 81 years old, and whose advice and comforting words have worked as balsams minimizing the sorrows of all those she has assisted and all those she still assists, for all her lifetime. 

We highlight the Special section with article by fellow researcher Dr. Nubor Orlando Facure, about spiritual diseases. In this second chapter, Dr. Facure comes to his conclusion, explaining to us that the healing of spiritual problems implies the re-education of the spirit. According to him, merely symptom removal would bring either an immediate relief or an amelioration, but all of temporary effect.  

In the year just ended, which was the 150th anniversary of the Spiritist Magazine, launched in 1860, the event has called the attention of our colleague, Enrique Eliseo Baldovino, who has prepared an interesting study about the subject, another highlight of this edition.

January 9th is the birthday celebration of Ernesto Bozzano, born in 1862 in the city of Genova in Italy. Bozzano, who died on June 24 1943, matches up beside Allan Kardec, Léon Denis and Gabriel Dellane, as one of the so called group of  “principal spiritists authors”, writers of all time.
