Pope John-Educator (By Elio Gasperetti) (Writer, ^artist, historian, Elio Gasperetti is the author of numerous newspaper and maga zine articles, many of which he illustrated himself. He revised and enlarged John Farrow’s “Pageant of the Popes’’ for the Holy Year edition (Sheed and Ward, 1950) and is presently working on another book.) “The crowds were astonished at his teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority.” (Matt. 7:29) These words, spoken of Our Best Wishes From (C. dCectsieu (Construction (Ct ompcinij BUILDER OF FINE HOMES 113 Dixie Savannah, Georgia 964-4446 Lord, might also describe the Christlike figure of His servant John XXIII.

But, then, had not philo sophers talked for ages of edu cating “the whole man?” Pope John also spoke of the press’ educational function and warned repeatedly about abuses against truth and morality in the communications media.
