There are many letters

.Verhovayak Lapja

pouring in from people over all the states but due to the fact that Overseas Clubs have not been organized in their districts as yet, we will continue to enroll all those in the Pittsburgh District until such a time when a branch will be organized in the respective districts.

Additions to our organization are: Mrs. Wendel Lukacs and Miss Mary Szabó from South Bend, Indiana; Mrs. Frank Komjati of Medina, Ohio; Miss Manci Sand and Miss Ann Matason from McKeesport.

To date there are approximately fifty people enrolled.

At a special meeting of the program committee a super- Hungarian affair has been planned for the very near future. This first social event of the Club will be the talk of the Pittsburgh District. A late summer event in the form of a picnic will also be held.

TOMORROWS FEARS

I care not for the worries of tomorrow That hover near as dim unpenetrated mist.

I pray not that I’ll know before the coming Of trouble. ’Twould be vain to e’en insist.

The big parade of sad-eyed wrinkled persons Who cringe beneath the whips of time and care Doth pass before the eyes of me while silent,

I pause to offer for them just a prayer.

The faith supreme in their Divine Creator They failed to place, but thought that they knew best,

And worried much of things that never happened,

And then prayed Heaven for eternal rest.

The peace on earth, the good-will to all beings, Comes from the blessed thought that all is right. Souls darkened by the shutters of unceasing worry, Can never hope to thus be filled with light.

Tomorrow’s fears, forbidding as gnarled objects,

That seem to lurk afar at early mom,

Unless remembered do no injury;

They’re but fantastic objects of the dawn.

The cares of grim tomorrow hold no fear for me,

For I have learned that Doubt and Fear ope wide the door Whereby unrest and sly Temptation enter,

And give bad harvest to the unwise sower.

The faith in God and in the Prince of Peace Bids only that a man care for today,

And worry not about tomorrow’s sufferings, Which, coward-like, will turn and sneak away.

Donald L. Wood.
