Love is defined in the Book of Corinthians as "Love bears all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things, love never ends. " Lord cleanse our hearts, our Ups and our minds as we discuss the future of our William Penn Association so that it will eventually add to thy glory and the people we represent. Help us to understand that if we hope to continue as a persuasive Hungarian Society force, we will have to maintain a unified front—and while differences may exist among friends, they should always be set aside for the common good. Lord we realize that much of the future rests in our hands. Help us to be vigilant, courageous and conciliatory as we seek justice in our deliberations. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen. 4) Secretary of the Board, Frank J. Radvany, called the roll and the following were present: National President, Elmer Charles; Vice Presidents, John P. Balia and Louis L.
