16 FRATERNITY QUIET WONDERS* A new book just published by the Expert Printing Co. in Pittsburgh is “Quiet Wonders” by Antónia Juhász Harangi. The foreword of this book is written by the famous writer, Mária Szabó Szentmihályi. In describing her acquaintance with the author, she says: “. . . I saw Antónia Juhász Harangi first in Sárospatak, when many years ago I was doing research on my book, “Zsuzsanna Lorántffy”. . . She ponders the events of the life of today with a trained mind and a skilled hand; for when she puts her thoughts into words, they almost become as poetry . . . Later this young couple started a new life in the New World. I followed her progress through her letters and her magazine articles sent to the mothers and to us. This is how I knew that her thoughts were penetrating deeper and deeper. Her stories, long or short, and about child psychology, are meaningful — all have the theme of Christian ideas and truth.” I have experienced some of the same feelings after having known the author and read her book, “Quiet Wonders”. The title most aptly describes those moments she sometimes experienced in the evenings when she could sit and ponder the greatness of God, the quietness of His hand, the beauty of His world — all those things which leave one awed have in a way been set to words by Mrs. Harangi in this lovely book. With the book in my hand, I feel that I must make it my duty to tell everyone about it. It seems unbelievable for me that we could pass up this book, because its message will make our life a richer and fuller one. Or, if you are of the second or third generation, this book will make an ideal surprise gift for your Hungarian relatives.
