Bethlen Naptár, 1956 (Ligonier)
The Assets of Our Celebrating Federation
152 BETHLEN NAPTÁR frozen deposits, has been redeemed as dividend.) The resolution concerning this measure read: “These orphans are the children of our deceased members, and they are not responsible for the economic crisis.” For those orphans, half-orphans, or dependent children of Magyar Reformed parents left by the wayside, our Federation maintains a Children’s Home in Ligonier, Pa., where they are cared for until the age of 18. If these children show promise, the Federation provides for their higher education. The Home has educated ministers, professor, teachers, and accountants. Our Federation, with the help of our congregations, also maintain an Old Folks’ Home for those people who are left without care, and recommended for admission by our churches. This dual home, the Bethlen Home, was named after Gábor Bthlen, the orphan boy who became the Bible-loving, Calvinist Presentation of the Red Cross Wagon donated by the New York Branch, in 1942, with Dr. Charles Vincze Director.
