‘WLt 3 CU

If I have strength, I owe the servic e of the strong;

If melody I have, I owe the world a song.

If I can stand when all around my post are falling,

If I can run with speed when needy hearts are calling, And if my torch can light the dark of any night,

Then, I must pay the debt I owe with living light.

For any gift God gives to me I cannot pay;

Gifts are most mine when I most give them all away, God’s gifts are like His flowers, which show their right to stay

By giving all their bloom and fragrance away;

Riches are not in gold or land, estates or marts,

The only wealth worth having is found in human hearts.

THE REVEALING AFTERMATH

(Continued from page 4)

that cut out the diseased parts of these lives and gave them a glorious second chance.

And I hope that — by the grace of God — this will be the story of this holiday season for many of you,

— the story of a bright light,

— the story of a ruthlessly searching light,

— the story of a painfully exposing light, but — at the same time —

the story of a tenderly healing light, so you may have life in the Light and that abundantly. Amen.

Cleveland Celebration

On November 3, 1974 the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Cleveland, Ohio observed the 25th Anniversary of the building of their cathedral style sanctuary.

At the 11 A.M. Worship Service, the Church was filled to capacity. The choir, clergy and elders entered the Church while the congregation sang the historical hymn of the Reformation: “A mighty fortress is our God...”

The pastor, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Stephen Szabó, president emeritus of Calvin (Hungarian) Synod, Dean of the Lakeside Classis, opened the Worship Service with the invocation, after which Dr. Joseph Piri, chiefelder of the congregation delivered a welcome address in Hungarian. Dr. Elam G. Wiest, former president of the North-East Ohio Synod presided at the opening prayer, the Rt. Rev. Arpad L. Beretz, Bishop of Calvin Synod preached the English sermon, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Zoltán Beky, Bishop emeritus of the Hungarian Reformed Church in America, presently the president of the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America in Washington D.C. preached in Hungarian, while the Rev. Francis Vitéz, Dean of the Eastern Classis of Calvin Synod offered a prayer in Hungarian. The Rev. Stephen Csutoros and the Rev. Frank Juhasz Shepherd both of Cleveland also participated in the Worship Service.

A solo number was offered by Miss Evelyn Kalnasy who was accompanied by Mrs. Elizabeth Davis Kondorossy, the organist and choir director of the local congregation. Maestro Leslie Kondorossy’s “Lentamente” was presented on the organ by Mrs. Kondorossy.

A Banquet was held at 1 P.M. in the Bethlen Hall. Following the singing of the American and Hungarian National Anthems, Rev. Aaron Elek, Deputy Bishop of Calvin Synod, offered Grace. Dr. Piri and Mr. William Köteles welcomed the many guests. Among the speakers were Honorable Frank J. Lausche, Senator of Ohio. Mr. Lausche, governor of Ohio at the time of the dedication of the sanctuary, and present at the dedication Service, spoke eloquently about the favorable influence of churches upon our constituencies. He was applauded by a standing ovation. The Rt. Rev. Abbot Jerome Koval of the neighboring Benedictine Monastery, spoke of the friendship between the two churches. Councilman David N. Strand presented a Citation from the City of Cleveland, Commissioner Hugh Corrigan presented a Citation from Cuyahoga County, and Senator Anthony O. Calabrese, former Mayor of Cleveland, presented a Proclamation from the Governor of Ohio. Mayor Ralph J. Perk extended the greetings of the city at this festive occasion. Bishop Beretz extended the greetings of the Calvin Synod, Bishop Beky spoke in behalf of the Federation, and Mr. Emery Király, former treasurer of the Federation and the builder of the Bethlen Hall presented glimpses into the history of the congregation.
