A Canadian Magyar Monthly for the enlightenment and entertainment of Hungarians, edited by Dr. A. Czakó, published by The United Church of Canada. Fifth year, No. 3 September,1942 CONTENTS. An essay on “Books talk to us” by Franz Hillig. They tell us that we should read them and why and which ones we should read and how many; beautifully written advice well worth thinking over. Under the heading The Course of the World we introduce some of the leading people in the Free and Democratic Hungary Movement. Our last issue contained most of Count Károlyi’s program, this time we glance at his coworkers. All of them are outstanding people in the Democratic Movement who are not newcomers but have always been democratic in principle and action. In the Notes there is a charming little story attributed to the Chinese poet, Wang Wei, who lived 4000 years ago, on “What was the most valuable thing in life?”; the translation of Francis Bacon’s Of Studies with notes; we remember the 100th anniversary of Antonio Fogazzaro’s birth, not only because in his II Santo he was the literary interpreter of Catholic Modernism, but also because this book seems to have inspired one recent best seller: The Keys of the Kingdom. — A seemirgly insignificant country-parson died this spring in a Canadian villcge, but he left 9000 volumes of very valuable books. Under the title: The Death of a Man of Culture, we wish to commemorate the Rev. Joseph A. Irwin, minister of The United Church of Canada in Holland Centre or, on the highway to Owen Sound, if you please. — “On Small Radios” with special reference to preachers and “On Recording at Home”, we wish to report some of the findings of the Cleveland meeting of Radio-Research Engineers. — “On Colour-Photography” devoted to the Dufay-process, we have tried to give a few hints from experience on capturing the colour-glory of our Canadian Autumn. Important news of special Canadian interest and a short survey of new stamps for collectors close this section. As to Alexander Finta’s Poem and the Editor's Notes to The Tragedy of Man, see the previous issue’s Contents. ★ ★ ★ IMPORTANT NOTICE. A new book by the Editor [Dr. A. Czakó, 423 Queen St. W., Toronto 2, Ont., Canada) entitled: Don Quixote. A Commentary, dealing with problems of the theory of world and life (Weltanschauung), is to be published in the autumn.
