8 CALVIN SYNOD HERALD (Continued from page 6) ground. Mary’s father was a colonel in Kentucky, bearing so much similarity to its Hungarian ilk in terms of loyalties, pride and integrity, Joseph and Mary bore testimony to that long surmised suspicion that where true values are present, there is peace and harmony and the condition of fruitful life is given. For his two sons, Joseph Jr. and William, he leaves the legacy of a good, faithful life, the kind of life that is worth living, a legacy which is more precious than “gold or silver.” We bid farewell to him in the faith and hope of the resurrection, and with words of the Scripture, “.. .well done my faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Father.” His earthly remains rest in Berry, Kentucky, but his soul already received a new commission, before the countenance of his Lord and Saviour.

Spotlight: 1973 Neighbors in Need World Communion Sunday, October 7th, is the date recommended for the annual Neighbors in Need all-church offering of the United Church of Christ. This is your congregation’s opportunity to participate in the ongoing work of our Commission for Racial Justice. To receive a special offering for this cause on this Sunday is particularly appropriate. The words of the Gospel of Matthew, “.. .first be reconciled to your brother,” remind us that the high and significant moments of our worship, such as our participation in a worldwide service of communion, can never be separated from our relationships with and our concern for one another out in the everyday world. Your gifts to the Neighbors in Need offering will support a variety of important programs in the area of racial justice. They will provide scholarship aid for students from racial minority groups. They will help to develop resources for our congregations to use in combating racial prejudice on the local scene. They will provide leadership for racial minority groups as they seek to realize the equal opportunity and justice promised to all of us by the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the laws of the land. When you are given the opportunity to contribute to the Neighbors in Need offering, do so with generosity, for the efforts at reconciliation among people which you thus support will give substance and meaning to your own personal relationship with God. (Continued from page 2) Camp 1973: Over 125 campers gathered at Camp Kanesatake August 12-18 in Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania for the 24th Synodical Youth Camp. Rev. László Medyesy was Camp Director again this year. No doubt we will hear more about the great events of Camp 1973 and plans for the Silver Anniversary next year. Financially, the Camp had a $600.00 deficit. This reflects our inflationary times. The deficit would have been much larger except for the $1,000.00 gift of our Hungarian Reformed Federation of America for Youth work. It was most welcome and needed. Reformed Church of Hungary: The General Synod of the Reformed Church in Hungary meeting in May sent fraternal greetings and expressions of gratitude in connection with the reception accorded its presiding bishop, Dr. Tibor Bartha during his visit to the 35th Annual Meeting of Calvin Synod held on April 30-May 1, 1973 in Ligonier, Pa. John Nemesnyik Represents: Synod Presbyter, John Nemesnyik, was commissioned to represent our Council at the fall meeting of the National Presbyters Association since Bishop Beretz could not attend because of prior family obligations and commitments.----------O---------Colonel Robert L.

A nation-wide referendum in Switzerland on May 20 has led to a change in the country’s Federal Constitution whereby a hundred-year old ban on the Jesuit order and on convents was lifted, but almost 650,000 of those who went to the polls voted against the change. In predominantly Roman Catholic Swiss cantons, the constitutional change was approved by 85.4% to 14.6% ; in predominantly Protestant cantons, 43.2% voted in favor, 56.0% against, while in cantons with equal confessional division, 62% voted in favor and 38% against. rps * * * QUOTES OF NOTE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE There are two kinds of people in our church — pillars and caterpillars. The pillars hold up the church. The caterpillars simply go in out and out. — Quoted Topeka Council of Churches News Topeka, Kansas
