On May 20, the Hungarian Methodist Church, in a divine service, took up collection for the children of Korea who are now exposed to the horrors of war. Superintendent John Széosey made the following statement in his sermon:

"The Methodist Church cannot bo indifferent to the sufferings of innocent Koreans, men, women and children, as the children of God can never remain indifferent to the needs of their fcllowmen,

I wish to call your attention to thu fact that many of the fighting and suffering Koreans are Methodists, I still recall the visit of a Korean teacher who then sang to us her and our favourite hymn:"Jesus Saviour of My Soul", To-day, when thu women of the world are "extending their sympathy tu the children of the Korean fighters for freedom and are taking up c -llcction to help them, we cannot remain idle"

At the end of the service, the congregation sang the favourite hymn of the Korean Methodists and made a collection for the Korean children.
