MEDITATIONS Rev. Bela D. Bonis Ph.D. Emer.Prof.of Philosophy Calif. State University, Long Beach THE 15th CHAPTER of Luke is sometimes referred to as the chapter of the Three Lost Things, - lost sheep, lost coin, lost son. It might be thought of as the chapter of Three Ways of Getting Lost. But the truest title for this chapter would be, Three Pic­tures of God. For, in answer to those who criticized Hint because He devoted so much time to “sinners”, Jesus told these three simple stories as if He wanted them to say for Him, “1 give so much of my time to sinners, go so far in friendly associations with them and concern for them, because that is the way of my Father which is in heaven.” This is the very heart of the Gospel, - that at whatever point in our lives and in whatever way we are lost, - in sin, in grief, in rebellion, in anxiety, in fear, in worry, in suffering, - God is there, reaching out a loving hand to help us if we let Him. Let us look first at being lost by wandering. Read Luke 15:3-7. One imagines this sheep going out with the flock in the morning. They begin to feed on a friendly hillside. This sheep nibbles at one enticing tuft of grass and another and so on, so intent on eating that only too late does he discover that he has wandered completely away from the flock and is there in the wilderness alone and lost and helpless. People get lost in this way. A little indul­gence here, a little taking of the easier way, a little yield­ing to the temptation to do what will “get by” rather than doing one’s best, a little ne­glect of prayer and the house of God, a little watering­­down of one’s devotion to Christ. Perhaps the little thing is not so terribly wrong in it­self; but it makes just a little easier a second and perhaps a little larger wrong. And the distance from God and the people of God grows, - only a step at a time. But enough of those steps become a mile, and the mile lengthens into eternity, and what was once only a little wrong becomes at last the great separation from God and goodness. (TO BE CONTINUED) Jubilant Performances at the Hungarian Reformed Church: “Two Hungarian Queens”- a Huge Hungarian-American Success For 19 years, Elisabeth de Charay’s (she is also known as Cserey Erzsi) “Hungarian Theatre and Art Association” has been a staple of New York’s cultural life. We do not exaggerate when we say that this high-class theatrical ensemble has put tiny, but - in every respect - leading, democratic Hungary, the bulwark of Europe’s intellectually and politically leading nations - on the American map. There was not one single empty seat when this program of drama, music and dance, very relevant Hungarian history and high class entertainment started with beautiful Gabriella Lendvay’s powerful rendition of the Hungarian National Anthem and the Hun­garian Consul General’s, Dr. Gabor Horvath’s very convincing speech about the many similarities in Hungary’s perennial fight for political and human freedom - and America’s struggle for the same, eternal aims. The first half of this enchanting evening dealt with the tragic fate of Bank Ban, a Hungarian nobleman of the 13th Century. Elisa­beth de Charay excelled in this condensed version of Katona’s his­toric drama in the role of vicious Queen Gertrudis who hailed from Meran and hated the Hungarians. This is a wildly melodramatic part that requires a subdued interpretation, especially in the climac­tic scene when Bank Ban, the hero, kills this female vampire with a dagger and “liberates” his people from foreign oppression. Both Elisabeth de Charay and Gabor Ajtay (as Bank Ban) were brilliant, forceful and credible, and the “Wicked Queen’s” entourage, Sylvia Kovács, Kata Herceg, Eszter Király, Judith Kerekes, as well as Eva Mecs in the very demanding role of Melinda (driven into madness by the brother of the Queen) created an unforgettable portrait of re­alistically interpreted European history. In Part Two, famous Budapest actress Kata Csongrádi - who also decorated the stage with exquisite taste - almost drowned in the never ending applause of her fans! Kata wrote this wonderfully witty musical about the life and loves, happiness and suffering of Hungary’s much admired, idolized Queen Elisabeth (also known as ’’Sissy”), gorgeous and rebellious wife of Emperor Franz Joseph II) who was a special friend of all Hungarians. Kata sang and danced a Csardas as never seen before... She got such an enormous, standing ovation that she was forced to add many “encores”. To sum it up, the two “Hungarian Queens” convinced New York once again that Hungarian art is the hub, the center of Euro­pean culture right here in Manhattan, and that it should forever be a staple of American entertainment. GERTY ÁGOSTON IVÁN FISCHER at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Hungarian conductor Iván Fischer leads the Los Angeles Phil­harmonic in music by three preeminent musical “nationalists” - his countrymen Bartók and Dohnányi, and their Bohemian colleague, Dvorák - in concerts on Thursday and Saturday, April 17 and 19 at 8 p.m., and a Friday matinee on April 18 at 1 p.m., at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Dohnányiás rarely heard Symphonic Minutes opens the program. The award-winning American pianist Garrick Ohlsson is soloist in Bartók’s Third - and final - Piano Concerto. Dvorák’s idyllic Symphony No. 8 is the concert finale. Upbeat Live, a free pre-concert event with radio personality Rich Capparella, takes plane one hour before each performance in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion’s Grand Hall. IVAN FISCHER began his musical training as an instrumental­ist, studying piano, violin, and cello in Budapest. He subsequently studied conducting with Hans Swarowsky in Vienna and pursued his interest in early music working with Nokolaus Harnoncourt. His international career was launched when, at age 25, Fischer won the Rupert Foundation Conducting Competition and invitations to ap­pear with all the leading British orchestras. In 1983, Fischer and pi­anist Zoltán Kocsis co-founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra, which quickly rose to prominence. Fischer has conducted his or­chestra throughtout Europe, America, and Japan. He has also been musical director of the Northern Sinfonia of England (1979 - 1982), Kent Opera (1984 - 1989), and was Principal Guest Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (1989 - 1996). Fischer is espe­cially renowned for his prformances of Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Dvorák, Mahler, and Bartók. His musical activism stretches beyond the concert hall: he was a founder of the Hungarian Mahler Society together with the composer’s granddaughter; he is the patron of the British Kodály Academy; and he has recently started recording the major Bartók works with the Budapest Festival Orchestra for Phil­ips. In addition to concerts with his orchestra at home and on tour, Fischer’s engagements this spring include conducting Verdi’s Otelló at the Opera national de Lyon and concerts with the Boston Symphony following his Los Angeles visit.

Demszky reported that they had all agreed to build a longer metro line than originally planned. They proposed dividing the fi­nancial planning into two separate parts and would apply for a grant from the European Union to cover the project. Working together with the city government, the central govern­ment will design a bill on the metro investment and submit it to parliament during its spring session.
