CALVIN SYNOD HERALD . 6 -REFOMÁTCISOK LAPJA think here, little violence at lence abroad do but they do! We, as Truthful Reflections Sometimes we that "little was was there", or home and vionot affect us, well as our children, are exposed day to day to violence in the newspapers, on the radio and on our TV sets. Maybe the outrage we occasionally feel can be the stimulus for some changes. We, the people, living in this bloodiest 20th century, are the inheritors of the two fatal "peace treaties" - ending the two world wars - Trianon and Yalta. Both were falsely named. They were not peace-making pacts but rather, Edicts of War-measures. Both were dictates of superpowers. The first one by Britain and France and sealed by President Wilson; and the second by the Britain, France and Stalin of Russia, and sealed by President Roosevelt. The first one was never ratified officially by the U.S.A. - not to this very day. Neither came in the "shape of a dove" - both came in the shape of a vulture. These were not "peace pacts" - they were war bombs, equipped with highly explosive igniting devices. Not instruments of ending war, but instruments for continuing wars. Unfortunately, these kinds of instruments will not be able to end wars by any means, at least not in these few remaining years of the twentieth century - possibly not even in the forthcoming 21 st century! We cannot close our eyes. All of us have to read productive information and act wisely and effectively, in the interest of peace, if it ever comes. We are relentlessly subjected to a great many false exposés of local and international scandalous happenings. Our Calvin Synod Herald strives time and again above all else to be the instrument of truth, and reflecting the truth in all our writings about the subjects that concern us one and all. Our "Book Corner"additionally aims to recommend only constructive readings that are in harmony with our "truthful reflections." □ □□ The crown lands of historical Hungary are continuously in the spotlight. Yes, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Transylvania, Voivodina, and the Carpatho-Ukraine. One must develop one's historical foundation through reading. We suggest a few of the many books available because of their style, veracity and the fact that most were written by Hungarians. A History of Hungary by Dominic G. Kosary. The Benjamin Franklin Society. The Spirit of Hungary by Stephen Sisa, Ontario, Canada. A panorama of Hungarian history and culture. Second Edition, 1990. The End of the Twentieth Century and the End of the Modern Ageby John Lukács. (Ticknor & Fields). "For one thing," Mr. Lukács says, "it was a short century, beginning in 1914 and ending with the fall of Communism." "Now," he argues provocatively, "the world will be ruled by intrasigent nationalism." The Diplomacy of German Unification by Dr. Stephen F. Szabó.
