No substantial work will have to be done on our buildings for at least the next five years.

THIRD PICTURE: THE NEW OVERSEER IN CHARGE

As my co-worker, the Rev. Louis Varga took his position as overseer of our aged on January 1, 1952. He began his work as the Board of Managers had stipulated. He gives full time to the supervision and care of our old guests. He conducted weekly services in our chapel and in a number of instances, to help the superintendent in his promotional work conducted Bethlen Home services in our supporting congregations. Both the overseer and his wife have cooperated fully with the superintendent, conscientiously giving of their best in the care and supervision of the aged. May it be granted that our work together might always be pleasing before God and man.
