Jézsef Nary, Pastor in Budapest, Theologies! Professor; Deputy Pi'esőd ent of the Baptist Church in Hungary has been dwelling in the Theological Institute at Rtischiilcon in-Switzerland for nearly throe months« He wrote an account of his work in the Baptist paper "BékehirnÖk" (Messenger of Peace) lately, He quote the following excerpts of his report:

>» This scarcely eight year old institute gained a great reputation not only in the Swiss and Baptist circles but in generally all over the Protestants as a consequence of its serious work. Those Baptist federations which have no theological seminaries of their own (Netherlanders, Finns, Italians,Spaniards and Portugueses) make especially use of their work. The cca 40 students coming from about 15 countries prepare themselves for the various spiritual services in full accordance and love« There are some who are going to go to the foreign missions. A missionary married-couple already in service in Tanganyika are learning there, too« Host of the students having been trained would go back to their motherlands to do their services as Baptist preachers.

They listen to my accounts of the Hungarian BaptistsJ work with great interest« They are much impressed of -our work done in complete freedom of which they received news not only from me but from brother Joseph IIordenhaur Director of the Institute (Director Nordenhaug was in Hungary in the last autumn and partook in the general conference of the Baptist Church. Redactor's rider.) Especially the Spaniard and Fortughese students show interest towards our work who do their service among the lots of difficulties aid tribulations.
