In this year’s beginning, we can’t ignore that the large majority of people, here and abroad, still waits for the advent of effective happy days, in which peace may reign in the hearts and conscience is no longer disturbed by the lack of tranquility, as shows this week’s editorial, entitled New Years’ Eve. 

Amongst the highlights in this edition, we call your attention to the interview conceded to our collaborator and editor Orson Peter Carrara by the confrere Nélio Augusto Luzze, rooted in the city of Macaé (Rio de Janeiro state) and enthusiastic for using Internet as a mean of divulgation of the Spiritist Doctrine. During the interview, the confrere talks about the Spiritist Movement in his city and surroundings. 

Another highlight in this issue is the special article by Abel Sidney, teacher and writer rooted in Porto Velho city, capital of Roraima state. The confrere, author of Lições De Um Suicida: Um Estudo do Clássico Memórias De Um Suicida (Lessons Of A Suicide: Study Of The Classic Memories Of A Suicide), analyzes the subject-matter of suicide and its nuances in his article. Divided into two parts, the text of the special will have its conclusion in the next edition of this magazine. 

In December, the Spiritist Federation of the state of Bahia has celebrated 94 years of activities towards unification, as shows the report by Adilton Pugliese, our correspondent in Salvador, which also constitutes one of the highlights in the present edition.
