AMERICAN Hungarian Journal FIRST HUNGARIAN REFORMED CHURCH 12717 York Ave., Hawthorne, CA 90250 Ph. (310) 355-1475 Adm. Pastor Dr. Béla Bónis, (310) 430-0876; Caretaker Dr. Béla Bíró, (310) 597-7459 One thing we won’t have to worry about in heaven is calen­dars. There will be no measure­ment of time when eternity dawns. There will be no such thing as being late, or early. The past and the present and the fu­ture will be no longer divisions of our lives. We won’t leave old years and begin new ones, and make noise and merriment be­tween them. Our text, Revela­tion 22:20 reads "Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." This is one, among other references, to Jesus’ pro­mise of His second coming. We have just celebrated His first coming. But He will come again in full glory. So we ought to be living in the hope of His return. Some people try even to figure the exact date of that coming again, setting its time only to be disappointed. They have comp­letely misunderstood that which is God’s deep secret. They are among the worst impediments to our Lord’s contemporary work of redemption. Yet every Christian ought to be busy in expectation, without being so prone to watch the clock, or the calendar, instead of the great movement of redemption. What indeed would it do if we were to adopt the perspective of true, and not calculated, belief of Je­sus’ second coming and leave its date to God’s sovereign will? Suppose the political powers would be gover ned this year by the thought: "Christ is coming soon". Suppose the peace confe­rences, if we can honestly have them yet, were to be obsessed with that coming. Suppose the White House, the Congress, the courts, the state assemblies, in­dustry and agriculture, manage­ment and labor, churches and home, all would begin to consi­der that Judgement Day, or, put differently, the progressive co­ming of Christ. What do you think would happen to our world? Think about it, even as you pray Thy Kingdom come..." JANUARY 8 at 11 A.M. regu­lar worship service. The same day at 4 P.M. we’ll have an ecu­menical New Year’s worship service in the First Hungarian Reformed Church with the par­ticipation of the local Hunga­rian churches and pastors. You are cordially invited to at­tend. Former Communists Investigating Former Communists Hungary’s Constitutional Court could invalidate parts of a law regulating the investigation of public officials with ties to the communist secret police. The controversial law calls for a panel of judges to investigate members of parliament and other high ranking officials. They are being investigated in groups of 20. But now the court could rule that it is illegal for judges to act as inves­tigators, a political activity. The panel got into trouble when it was revealed that its leader, Judge József Eigner, presided over political trials in the 1950s. Social Security Admi­­nistration Gets Firms Hungary’s State Holding Com­pany, one of two privatization agencies, plans to offer portions of some of the country’s biggest companies to the Social Security Administration. Most of the stakes would be 10 percent or less in individual businesses. A total of about $600 million worth of these businesses is being offered. Some of the firms include the na­tional airline MALÉV, the truck­ing company Hungarocamion, the broadcaster Antenna Hun­gária and the national savings bank OTP. Hungary’s previous government committed about $2.7 billion in privatization revenue to social security. 1995 Budget Approved Hungary’s budget for 1995 was approved by Parliament on December 27. Newspapers reacted with remarkable lack of enthusiasm: Népszabadság. "The budget does not grant enough money to local governments, and the ener­gy price increase has no adequate counterbalance." Új Magyarország. The govern­ment’s stabilization program restrains the economy instead of vitalizing it." Magyar Nemzet: László Békési stressed that Hungary’s debt­­burden excludes the possibility of stable economic growth. In former finance minister Iván Szabó’s opinion, the 1995 budget does not support education and science, and thus paralyzes economic growth before it could even start.

According to the Budapest tabloid newspaper Kurír, a 4-year-old boy was taken away from his mother because he was allegedly being raised by dogs. The report said that Berci walked on all fours and slept curled up on the floor. The story made its way onto the pages of several British and American papers. Duncan Shiels looked into this modern-day Mowgli story to try and separate fact from fiction. Walking through the sleepy vil­lage of Szil, near the Hungarian- Austrian border, you can hear geese, goats, and especially dogs. Every house has at least one or two. Four-year-old Bertalan, or Berci, Kitrovics, was especially fond of his dogs. Indeed, by all accounts they were the only friends he had. Since the age of 2 he had been locked in the house from 4 a.m. until late at night while his mother worked and his father was allegedly out drinking. Last month, after hearing reports of Berci’s situation, repre­sentatives of the Child Protection agency from the nearby town of Győr came and took the boy away from his parents. He is now living in the agency’s children’s home. When Berci arrived, he was in a sorry state. Agency head Mihály Szécsényi claims the boy behaved almost like a dog. "When the little boy arrived, he was filthy, we tried to put shoes on him, but he kicked them off. He couldn’t use a toilet, he crawled on all fours and at night he made noises at the moon. When we tried to put him to bed, he imme­diately got out and curled up in a corner. He couldn’t speak. He could only understand simple commands like "come here" like with a dog. Berci’s mother, Judit Sarly, says he was not brought up by dogs and explains Berci’s inability to speak as something that just runs in the family. Back in the village of Szil, Berci’s neighbors will admit they were aware of the boy’s living conditions, but there was nothing they could do. It would have been considered "interfering with the family’s affairs". Berci’s mother swore to get her child back.
