REFORMÁTUSOK LAPJA 13 Church Member Honored On Sunday, April 26th, the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Pittsburgh will hold a testimonial dinner honoring László Pastor who recently received an appointment from the President of the United States, as National Director of the Heritage Groups. László, a member of our church consistory has not only been an ardent church worker, but has been active in various Hungarian organizations; he was chairman of the organizing committee of the Hungarian Boy Scouts in Pittsburgh, one of the founders of The Hungarian Freedom Fighters in which he served as Secretary General. He also held the office of Secretary General of the World Federation of Freedom Fighters from 1964 until 1969, he was on the Hungarian co-ordinating committee for the joining of all Hungarian organizations, a Director of American Hungarian Federations, Director of the Polish Hungarian World Federation, member of the National Captive Nations Committee and leader of The National Confederation of American Ethnic Groups. We feel that his fine work is not only a credit to his church, his community, but also to his Hungarian heritage of which I am sure he is very proud. He has set a fine example for us all. Vincent J. Egry, Chief-elder First Hungarian Reformed Church of Pittsburgh Seventeenth Palm Sunday Conference in English and Hungarian for men, women and young people sponsored by THE EASTERN CLASSIS OF THE CALVIN SYNOD UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST PALM SUNDAY MARCH 22, 1970 HUNGARIAN REFORMED CHURCH of Woodbridge, N. J. Conference Theme: KNOW YOUR CHURCH ^-Cove I’ve searched for love till I grew tired, But continued on with hope in my heart that one day soon, I’d find my love and at last my journey done. That day arrived, glad was I to live in content and happiness with one who equally loved me. But as time moved on, so did he and now I have no love. To continue on or lose all I had was the choice I had to make, to find the happiness I once knew or to accept my fate as misery, I chose to look, and I have found and now my life’s complete. The Hi-Lite, Calvin Synod What About Love? Is love really worth it? What is love? Many young people after they have their first taste of love that has gone bad, ask these questions. Love is a word that means so many things that a definition of love is hard to come by. I asked my first grade Sunday School class what they thought love was. They said it’s when you love someone and don’t hurt them. When asking some of my friends, it was even hard for them to describe love. They said that love is happiness, and wanting always to be with one person, two to be one, but really love and life have a deeper meaning. If you love someone with all that you have and this goes bad, not because of you, but because of the other, you are apt to say, why love? It has no meaning, it’s worthless, but is it? During the time that you were sharing love, what was your life like? Was it sad, and full of hate and hurt, or was it sweet like a piece of candy, and full of happiness and the feeling of being wanted and needed? If you have experienced this type of love you know the benefits that come from it. And if this love goes bad, why must you feel that love is meaningless? If you first find a love that fails, you must continue to search until the one true love which was meant for you, and only you, is found. In I Corinthians 13: 1-13, we find what God has to say about love. If this is God’s definition of love, do we as Christians find love meaningless? Is love, true and honest love, really not worth it? Should we give up the search for love and fail, and become nothing? For those who have found love, are you nothing, or are you someone with something? The Hi-Lite, Calvin Synod Fencing Championship The World Fencing Championships for the under 20 will be held in Minsk, Russia from March 27 through March 31. Twenty-five to thirty countries will be represented, and the United States team will be made up of twelve fencers, three of them women. One of the women representing our country, will be Miss Izabella Farkas of New Brunswick, New Jersey. She is the daughter of Mr. Frank Farkas, fencing master of the Hungarian American Athletic Club, New Brunswick. Iza, as she is better known, started fencing at the age of nine, and she is now sixteen. For two years, Iza was New Jersey champion for the under nineteen, and last year came in third in the National Championships held in Los Angeles. She practices fencing twelve hours a week and also has competed in the broad jump and sprint races in track. Iza is a lovely girl that all Hungarians can be proud of. We wish her the best.
