10 MAGYAR EGYHÁZ First servant: Ten! Second servant: Strike! Xanthippe: Annie, please tell them to keep quiet. Peter: Let them be! Let the children enjoy themselves! As I said: His disciples as well as His foes were mistaken. They considered Him a liberating revolu­tionary whose coming had long been prophesied by the seers. Upon His coming earth would become heaven, life a Persian feast, and God’s new Jewish kingdom one of eating and drinking. Merchants would live in gilt-roof houses and peasants would be loaded with mammoth grape clusters. Romans and their despised tax-collectors would be thrown out feet first and would be forced to pay Jew imposed taxes till they dropped dead . . . they and the rest of the world. First the butchering then the golden age; first the terrible judgment upon the overlords of the Jews then the eternal feast on the mountains and in the valleys ... if the Messiah so wished! But the Messiah wanted something else. He did not change stone into bread on Satan’s command. Flavius Clemens: I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

The Sun­day School is getting ready for the Christmas Party to be held in combin­ation with the Choir. Many new voices joined but still more are needed. Confirmation classes are conducted every Saturday at 11. The surprise party for Donna by the Young Adults was a “crying” suc­cess.
