MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 13 NORTH AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN AND REFORMED YOUTH ASSEMBLY July 19-26, Lafayette, Indiana 2,200 young people and their adult advisers repre­senting 8 North American Reformed and Presbytreian denominations will attend an assembly to be held this Summer at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana from July 19 to 26. The young people will meet under the theme “Come, Creator Spirit,” which is the theme of the 19th General Council of the Reformed World Alliance (Frankfurt. Germany, Summer, 1964). Emphasis at the Assembly will be upon the renewal of the church through the work of the Holy Spirit. The week-long Assembly will include morning studies (under the leadership of Dr. Lewis Mudge, former theological secretary for the Reformed World Alliance and at present chaplain at Amherst College who has written a book exclusively for this Assembly), Creative Art Workshops, Leadership Development Workshops, dram­as written for this Assembly, and ample opportunity for recreation. Daily lectures will be discussed in “Core Groups” consisting of not more that 15 participants. Participanting denominations are the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, the Reformed Church in America, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, the Pres­byterian Church in the U.S. (Southern), the United Church of Christ, the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., the Presbyterian Church of Canada and our own Hungarian Reformed Church in America. Cost of the Assembly is $50 per person which in­cludes board, room, registration and insurance fees. Transportation to and from Lafayette is extra, so is some pocket-money. Because an assembly this size involves tremendous administration, registration rules and dates are strict. Denominational registration will close on MAY 15 when unused quotas will be assigned to other denominations. There will be no cancellations after June 15 (substitu­tions possible). The $50 MUST accompany registrations. Flyers, detailed information and registration blanks have been sent to the Bethlen Youth Federation, to every Youth Fellowship, and to every Pastor. Additional information, if needed, can be obtained from Dr. An­drew Harsanyi, 175 Pershing Ave., Carteret, New Jersey.-----------o----------­MAY 5 United Church Women Conference Women from congregations of the Hungarian Re­formed Church in America belonging to the Eastern and New York Classes will gather to their Fourth Annual Conference on Sunday, May 5, in Trenton, New Jersey.

YOUTH NEWS Attention All Youth Fellowships We must not forget the charity project sponsored by the B.Y.F. Each fellowship is asked to give a donation of its own discretion to help the Bonnie Brae Camp for Underprivileged Boys. All donations are to be sent to Judy Szabó at 479 Sharrotts Rd„ Staten Island 9, N. Y. A minimum goal of $100 was estab­lished, and to date, only 3 fellow­ships have sent in their donations. Please do not forget your responsi­bility to the B.Y.F. TRENTON The months of March and April find the Youth Fellowship and the Young People’s Society entailed in many new as well as annual in­spiring projects. Taking the stand alone for the purpose of refurbish­ing their treasury, the Fellowship members are eager-beaver Easter Candy Bunny sellers. Those of you who have not recently been in Trenton will find new furniture in the Fellowship room. For the pur­pose of aiding in the financing of the furniture a successful paper drive was held in early March. Proceeds fro mthe scheduled pro­jects will be deposited into a special fund enabling members of the two groups to attend the National Beth­len Youth Federation Conference in Duquesne during the Labor Day Weekend. Joint projects underway are a paper drive scheduled for March 30 and a Salve Day is on the agenda for sometime in April, during which time the members of both groups will be available to assist church members with any chores they may have for a small donation of course. Continuing with their prepara­tions for the discussions at the National Conference the two groups played host to the Baptist Memorial Church and had a very interesting afternoon, March 10th comparing the various doctrines of the two churches. Already underway are the hard working entertainers who make the Annual Variety Show the success that it is. Keep watching for the date to be announced in the months to come. Under study is another book of the Bible this month by the Sunday morning Bible Class, the Gospel of the Book of Mark. CARTERET The Carteret Youth Fellowship is embarking on a new project to raise money for our future Labor Day trip to Duquesne. We will be selling delicious candy with the hopes of raising our treasury to new heights. Anyone in the Eastern Classis is welcome to buy a box, if your sweet tooth craves really good candy. The Quarterly Conference will be held in Carteret on April 21st, and members are busy in preparation. Our theme will deal with teenage Manners and Morals (“Manners and Morals of Modern Young
