March 20, 1957. William Penn Church Croup Holds Hungarian Program THE HUNGARIAN STORY was the theme of a very pleasing program held February 15, 1957 by the Covenant Men’s Club of the Glen Ellyn Mission Covenant Church in Glen Ellyn, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. Pastor of this church is the Rev. Wallace C. Pollock and R. R. Carlson is president of the Club. More than two hundred guests listened attentively as Presi­dent Carlson opened the program by greeting the audience, stat­ing that the purpose of the evening was to tell THE HUNGARIAN STORY, and introducing the main speaker of the program, Stephen Huzianyi of Evanston, Illinois, Hungarian-born American who, as writer and lecturer, has for more than twenty years specialized in Hungariana, particularly in the history of the Magyar people. Mr. Huzianyi in thirty short minutes condensed the History of Hungary from Pannónia (the Latin name of the region settled by the Magyars), Arpad (who led the Magyars into Pannónia), King St. Stephen (first Christian King of Hungary), Bela IV (early great Magyar King), Stephen Bocskay (Prince of Tran­sylvania), Francis Rákóczi (another Hungarian Prince), Alexan­der Petőfi (Hungarian patriot and lyric poet), Louis' Kossuth (Hungarian statesman and leader of the 1848 rebellion against the Hapsburg tyranny), to the very recent attempt of the Hun­garians to oust the Communists. Mr. Huzianyi borrowed quota­tions from Kossuth’s speech made during the Hungarian pat­riot’s visit in America to show the similarity of the plight of Hungary then and now. Basically, the despotism of the House of Hapsburg was the same as the oppression of the Communists now — the violation of human dignity and the disregard of hu­man rights'. THE HUNGARIAN STORY as presented by Mr. Hu­zianyi was in itself a fine piece of information which his Ameri­can audience gratefully received. Next, the Chicago West Side Hungarian Evangelical and Re­formed Church Choir, under the direction of Mrs. D.D. Parragh, wife of the minister, sang a number of Hungarian songs and were accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Parragh. A duet was then siihg by Helen and A1 Foris. Other members of this excel­lent second generation singing group are Alice Bona, Russell Foris, Joseph Gyenes, Louis Igyarto, Vilma Imre, Steve Keresztúri, Rose Pikolcz, Kathryn Saillor, Charles Saillor, Joseph Saillor, Carol Wesesku, Ilene Wesesku, Danny Wesesku and George We­­sesku. Mrs. Parragh was introduced by Mr. Huzianyi. The Rev. D.D. Parragh, pastor of the West Side Evangelical and Reformed Church of Chicago, who over the past few months has welcomed bus loads of Hungarian refugees to his parish, now was introduced by Mr. Huzianyi The Protestant clergyman presided over a question and answer forum and was aided in his answers by two Budapest Freedom Fighters, Ervin Szabados and Stephen Kish. So many questions were put to the good minister that time ran short and Mit Carlson intervened to continue the rest of the program. The choir offered as its final selection the beautiful and stirring "Magyar Himnusz” (Hungarian National Anthem). Mr Huzianyi then expressed his gratitude to the Rev. Wallace C. Pollock, pastor of the Glen Ellyn Mission Covenant Church, to president R.R. Carlson and the other members of the Covenant Men’s Club, and to all others who helped make possible the pre­sentation of THE HUNGARIAN STORY by Mr. Huzianyi. Pastor Pollock closed the formalities with the utterance of a prayer. He directed an offering for the Hungarian Refugee work which was to be turned over to the West Side Hungarian Evan­gelical and Reformed Church. Refreshments were then served. Pictures ahd publicity of the event appeared in the Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and other town newspapers. The good parishioners' of the Glen Ellyn Mission Covenant Church, pastor Pollock and Mr. Carlson deserve very much credit ior their cooperative work in putting on the Hungarian program designed to give a clear current and historical picture of Hungary, Bastion and Defender of Western Civilization and Christianity. It is a very gratifying feeling to know that some two hundred more of our American brethren, descendants of heroic ancestors who fled Europe and came to America seeking Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, are, as a result of THE HUNGARIAN STORY, today better informed on Hungarian Truths and more sympathetic thereto.
