My Native land (poem)
I live on my soil my soil is live in me,
The soil of brave mans and soil of unity.
Land where my soul live without body.
Peace land of India lead land of India
Bank of Ganga land of secularism ,
My native land is full of advantures.
Land of farmers land of soldiers,
Land of scientists land of professors.
Land of righteous land of freedom fighters.
A village full of happiness and…

VenerablePope Pius XII
1876-1958
Feast Day: October 9
Papacy: 1939-1958
Motto: Opus Justitiae Pax
Eugenio Pacelli was born to an Italian family and served the church in many roles including Apostolic Nuncio to Bavaria. His diplomatic style was to be cautious and impartial drafting concordant (a Papal agreement aimed at preserving the Church’s privileges and freedom of action within a country) instead of confrontation. In 1939, he was elected pope and took the name, Pius XII. His papacy, covering the time of WWII and the communist cold war, was tumultuous and controversial. He sought to avoid brutal reprisals, yet saved thousands of Jews. (more than any government) In 1950, he solemnly declared that Mary was assumed into heaven, body, and soul. This is a belief held by the Church from the beginning.

Ghosts Vivisected: An Impartial Inquiry into Their Manners, Habits, Mentality, Motives and Physical Construction (1958) by A.M.W. Stirling
From the book jacket:
"At an age when I am on the verge of becoming a Spook myself, I find it of peculiar interest to vivisect the personalities and the wherefore of such mysterious entities as those whose existence was attested by men like Flammarion, F. F. Meyers, Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir William Barrett and Sir William Crookes."
So writes Mrs. Stirling, the distinguished author of Ghosts Vivisected in her foreword. The result of her research is a brilliant analysis of the manners, habits, mentality, motives and physical construction of ghosts. Here are accounted undeniable hauntings, rappings, ghostly orgies, prophetic dreams, and other inexplicable phenomena; while the primitive and religious aspect of each is impartially reviewed.
Some readers may be interested to know that Stirling ends her foreword with the sentence: "The ghosts are painlessly vivisected."
The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL), founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States. Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use.
