Scripture reading and prayer was done by Joyce Orosz of Perth Amboy. We held a lengthy discussion on an article writ­ten by Rev. Adorján. The title being: “All With One Ceend.” Summarizing our discussion. We the young people feel our church will prosper and grow. We will not be forgotten, but shall live for many more years to come. We stand proud and willing to defend our faith. Our Church has lived through many trials and temp­tations. We are still strong and shall stand united: For in Unity is Our Strength. The business meeting was than opened with the following clubs present: Perth Amboy, Roebling, Tren­ton, Carteret. Clubs absent were: Bronx, and Staten Island. Topic discussed were as follows: 1. Constitution and By-Laws Revisions were made and passed. We now feel the constitution meets our requirements. The one big change was that you may join the Classis and have voting power at 14.

A LETTER TO EVERY CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE HUNGARIAN REFORMED CHURCH IN AMERICA I am writing this letter in regard to a Scholarship Fund, that we are endeavoring to establish on a per­­amnent basis. The Idea was formulated at the last delegates meetiing of the Bethlen Youth Federation where it met with the immediate tremendous approval of everyone present. The Scholarship is being established in order to supply financial aid to our young people who wish to continue schhool and afterwards enter the ministry of our Church. To add impetue to the formulation of the Scholar­ship Fund at the earliest possible time, the Bethlen Youth Federation is donating three hundred dollars ($300.00) as the initial gift. It is our sincerest hope that in the realization of the dire need of such a fund, we may be able to depend on our member churches for a donation of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) each. May we thank you in advance for any support you may be able to extend toward our request. The Re. Rev. Zoltán Beky, Bishop, has given his personal support and approval to this request. We will wait patiently for your reply, which we know you will forward at your earliest possible con­veyance. Yours in Christian Faith, Julia Wargo, Co-Chairman After the meeting a very nice buffet supper was served to delegates. Games and a social hour followed. The hospitality of the host club and the host church were appreciated by all the delegates. JULIA WARGO
