ELECTIONS OF THE TO ALL THOSE WHO CONDOLED WITH BEREAVED FAMILY OF FORMER SUPREME SECRETARY — An Open Letter By The Widow And Children Of The Late Stephen Gabor, Member Of The Home Office Staff, Former Supreme Secretary Of The Verhovay F. I. Association. — Dear Friends And Fellow-Members: At the end of last November, when the newspapers announced the death at the age of 79 of Stephen Gabor, member of the Home Office staff, former Supreme Secretary of the Verhovay F. I. Association, the great loss we sustained in the passing away of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, occupied all our thoughts. And because our loss was' so incomprehensibly great, we felt that human sympathy, however sincere, could not possibly afford any measure of comfort and consolation in the deep sorrow that had been visited upon us. Though we knew that the great work he had so unselfishly accomplished during the best years of his life, and his devoted services to the Association since that time, had not been without lasting effects, we could hardly expect others to remember the role played in the great struggles of the distant past by one man who, after accomplishing the task he had set himself, withdrew from public life and continued serving the Association for the last 15 years of life as one of the Home Office staff . . . The brotherly kindness of Verhovayans, however, proved a source of comfort, far more abundant than we would have thought possible. As the news of his death spread, each day brought an increasing volume of telegrams and letters of sympathy frpm every part of the country. Friends whom we had not met for many years, old acquaintances with whom we had lost contact a long time ago, even hundreds of Verhovay members unknown to us, spoke to us in letters each of which proved that Stephen Gabor had not been forgotten by the membership of the Association . . . It was our intention to answer each of these letters thanking their writers for the beautiful, uplifting and comforting expressions of their heartfelt sympathy and for the mempfies of a happier past they revived for in the hour of our sorrow. Today we find, however, that it would be humanly impossible to individually respond to every one of these innumerable letters in a manner that would do justice to our gratitude. We appreciate, therefore, the opportunity to extend through our Journal our sincere thanks to the many hundreds of friends and fellow-members who paid tribute to the blessed memory of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, by sending floral contributions, telegrams or letters of sympathy. We shall treasure these expressions of fraternal sympathy, because every flower and every telegram and letter is proof that he was esteemed and loved r.ot only by us but also by a multitude of the members of the Association to which he had devoted the most fruitful years of his life. To know that he still is kindly remembered for his devotion and services by so many% of his fellow-members is a source of comfort and consolation in our sorrow. For this we thank all those who? have condoled with us and we ask our good friends and fellow-members to Accept this public expression of our sincere gratitude in the assurance that their kindness will always be remembered. May God bless you for your brotherly sympathy. MRS. MARY GABOR MARGARET GABOR A. S.

Rev. Dr. Barna Dienes Dies In Buenos Aires Americans of Hungarian descent were deeply shocked by the tragic news of the sudden death, last January, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, of the Rev. Dr. Barna Dienes, one of the most widely known and respected members of the clergy of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, at the age of 54. A professor at Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, 111., formerly pastor of the Hungarian Evangelical and Reformed Church of Homestead, Pa., Dr. Dienes had been on a prolonged leave of absence from Elmhurst to study the problems of the Displaced Persons in Western Europe and South America, as the representative of the Evangelical and Reformed Church of America. Death due to heart failure overtook' him in the capital of Argentina, while on official mission. He is survived by his mother, wife and a daughter, Ruth, to whom our heartfelt sympathies are offered on behalf of the membership of the Verhovay. The Rev. Dr. Dienes joined the Verhovay in Homestead, Pa., and at the time of his death, he was a member of Branch 37, Chicago, 111. I’m quite sure that I have no prejudices and I think I have no color prejudices, nor caste prejudices, nor creed prejudices. Indeed, 1 can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being — that is enough for me; he can’t be any worse. —Mark Twain.
