The Assets of Our Celebrating Federation
156 BETHLEN NAPTÁR In 1910, Dr. Alexander Kalassay, deceased. 1911-1916, Rev. Eugene Boros, deceased, Toledo, Ohio. 1916-1919, Stephen Molnár, deceased, Toledo, Ohio. 1919-1935, Dr. Alexander Toth, Cleveland, Ohio. — Lancaster, Pa. 1936- to date, the writer of these lines, Washington, D. C. It is not within my power to list the names of the frequently-changing branch treasurers. Our Federation has 204 branches, whose treasurers forward the members' dues monthly to the central office My expression of appreciation is due to the 204 fellow-officers, with whom I have served in our Federation that during these 20 years, they have handled and are handling the money paid to them with precise and faithful accounting. * * * May the memory of those who have been called to the Eternal Home be blessed because, as they built our Federation and nurtured its assets, they performed work which meant anxiety and care. They were instruments through whom our Federation achieved much for the benefit of its members, for love of the American Hungarian Calvinists, for the nurturing of the Reformed Faith, and for the glory of God. Dr. Alexander Toth and I can stand before God, with grateful hearts, that we lived to see the 60th anniversary of our Federation and that we could be instruments in the hands of the Federation in helping it to realize these achievements through the spirit of love. Looking back, this is the sketchy account of 60 years of our Federation’s assets, which were handled by its treasurer. Everyone can ascertain from this brief resume, just how much of every cent given by our members since the beginning of this work, has been turned over to good works, in the spirit of love instilled by Jesus Christ. In the ranks of the American Hungarians our Federation has walked in front; since its founding it has been a guiding light on the road of brotherly love, love of country, love of God. It will remain just that in the future. The Hungarian Reformed Federation did not bury its treasure. EMERY KIRÁLY, Treasurer. Washington, D.C. September 1, 1955. The Veteran’s Office of the Federation, in Chicago, 111. — 1947.
