e FRATERNITY Mr. Csanyi, of 425 William Street, a member in good standing in Branch 20, was run down at 12:30 A. M. and died a few hours later as a result of severe injuries. The youth, who was driving a friend’s car, was apprehended through information given by witnesses. Mr. Csanyi was a supply man with the 141st Tactical Fighter Group of the New Jersey Air National Guard at McGuire Air Base. He served in North Africa, Italy, France and Germany during World War II and was on active duty during the Korean Campaign. We extend our deep sympathy to Mr. Csanyi’s family, especially to his widow, Mrs. Margaret Csanyi, and to all the members of Branch 20. God grant peaceful rest to our member! CHURCH SERVICE AND FRATERNAL MEETING Our Secretary went on an organizational trip recently with Western Supervisor Joseph Benedek and Chicago District Manager Charles Modory. They began their promotional work in Columbus, Ohio, then went on to Dayton and from there to the famous old city of St. Louis. The Hungarian population in this great city has increased considerably in recent years with the arrival of new Hungarian immigrants. These fine people, who have no organized Hungarian church life, asked our Secretary to hold services for them occasionally in conjunction with his fraternal work in that area. As a result of this invitation the first service for our St. Louis Hungarian people was held on October 31 in the chapel of the West Presbyterian Church at which time the 442nd Anniversary of the Reformation was observed and the Lord’s Supper served. Partaking of the Communion with our Hungarian friends was Dr. Harry P. Phillips, minister of the church. Mrs. Grace Newman, organist of the church, played the hymns for the congregation. After the impressive church service, a social gathering was held and a color-film shown of the work of the Federation and Bethlen Home. We deem it a privilege to hold services for those of our Hungarian people who have no Hungarian church to attend, yet yearn to hear God’s word preached to them in their native language, and hope that through these spiritual services we will gain a host of new friends and members for our Federation. BISHOP BEKY RECEIVED DOCTOR OF DIVINITY DEGREE The Right Reverend Zoltán Beky, Bishop of the Hungarian Reformed Church in America and Vice President of our Hungarian Reformed Federation, received the Doctor of Divinity degree from the Midwestern Graduate Bible School. Bishop Beky has submitted two of his most recent studies on “Calvin and Barth” and “Calvin and the Hungarian Reformed Church”, as published two or three months ago, to the Graduate Department of the said institution, and these studies were accepted and approved as his doctoral dissertation.
