ROEBLING We shall conduct an Easter to Pentecost Attendance Crusade. The purpose of this crusade is to improve the spiritual life of the congregation and to capture the attention of the unfaithful and irregular church-goer during this period. We believe that the message of Easter should bring new life into the life of our congre­gation. During the crusade we will study the letter of James the theme being “Christian Life.” We urge our members to cooperate. Each and every­one of us is in need of spiritual improvement. If our members will be cooperative and will show interest in the attendance crusade, the plan can be a great blessing to our church. On Sunday, March 5 the Rev. Paul Ferenczy was our guest minister. He was also our main speaker at our annual Sándor-]ózsef Dinner. We en­joyed his presence among us and were blessed by his uplifting sermons. Many of our members faithfully helped our church with their hard work and good deeds in the month of February. These people are the rocks of our church upon whom we can build both the spiritual and ma­terial life of our church. Thank you very much and God bless you!

Margie Deak WESTERN AREA FELLOWSHIP Congratulations to the Detroit BYF group. The Western Classis conference was held at the Motor-City church the week end of February 25 and 26. It was a great success. I think the flavor of the whole con­ference was pretty well summed up when our advisor, John B. Farkas said on our way back to Akron “I think we accomplished more at this conference than any other conference I have ever attended and I am very happy at the outcome of it.” Speak­ing not only for myslf, but for every­one who attended the conference, I’m sure, we are all looking forward to our next conference in June at Du­­quesne with renewed vigor and en­thusiasm. Joseph S. Markus Congratulations Detroit C.Y.F. on a most successful Western Classis Conference. Gary Balogh (President) and Mrs. John Pit el (advisor) greet­ed us and made us feel most wel­come.

I am sure each and everyone returned home filled with enthusiasm and new ideas. The newly organized Men’s Club included the group at their first dinner and social event which made
