Topix v7 #13

This anthology issue contains educational and religious content. One story depicts a pupil learning the multiple meanings of the word "water" through classroom instruction and examples with animals. Another narrative follows biblical characters on a journey to find the seer Samuel in ancient Israel, where they encounter him and receive hospitality. A third feature provides a biographical account of Cardinal Pacelli's life, his opposition to Communism in post-war Germany, his rise through the Catholic Church hierarchy, his election as Pope Pius XII in 1939, and his efforts to promote peace and navigate the Church through World War II and its aftermath.
