In this issue we pay tribute to one of the great poet and writer in the 20th Century of the Hungarian Nation. GYULA ILLYÉS, born 1902 in Rácegrespuszta, and died in Budapest on April 15, 1983. The Bethlen Press had the privilege to print an English translation of his poems “A Tribute to Gyula Illyés”. For the last 15 years the Members of the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America got used to send their Change of Address and even inquiries to the Bethlen Press. Please 6end all your correspondences to; HRFA, P. 0. Box 34917, Bethesda, Maryland 20817. Bethlen Press does not print the Fraternity magazine anymore. In the February, 1983 issue we mentioned that a new English-Hungarian lessons were under preparation. Unfortunately what we received was not what we have expected. For this reason we are returning to our original plan, to bring you the “Magyar Reader” prepared by Dr. Endre Sebestyén over forty years ago and since then was used by by many churches and other Hungarian summei schools teaching Hungarian.
