Rome, The Pope and The Church WELCOME PUBLICATION "Angelic Shepherd," the title of an illustrated biok, published at 5/-, by the Capuchin Annual Office, will provide interesting material for reading and study in this year, when the eyes of the world turn to Rome and to the reigning Pope. It combines a life-story of the present Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, with a good deal of information about Rome. The publishers justifiably think that a big effort should be made to have the book in the hands of every priest, editor, teacher, worker, employer, to whose notice it is brought. Monsignor Eugenio Pacelli, the ablest Nuncio in the Vatican Diplomatic Corps, was the man who drew the hatred of the Nazis when he was in Germany for his fearless refusal to be moved by cajolery or intimidation. There are frequent proofs that his courage was accompanied by extraordinary mental astuteness that left the Nazi regime helpless. His early life as student and young priest is, in its own way, as interesting as the career which made of world-wide fame, even before he was elected Pope. He has qualities of mind and heart that make him rank among the great men of history. "Angelic Shepherd" is profusely illustrated. Any purchaser will be delighted with it, and will find difficulty in laying it aside. The price, 5/-, is barely the cost of production.
