16 MAGYAR EGYHÁZ XX NATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE Have you given any thought of what you plan to do for the Labor Day weekend? We, in McKeesport cordially invite all of the youth of the Hungarian Reformed Churches in America to attend the twentieth National Youth Conference. Plans are being made to insure everyone of a pleasant weekend both socially and spiritually. Our program — Sunday afternoon our speaker will be Dr. Oliver R. Stang of the Central Presbyterian Church in McKeesport. His subject will be “The Christ Who Lives Today.” By special demand a return engagment of the Fashion Beauties On Parade will be presented along with a visit from a few of our West Virginia friends, not excluding of course our special guest performers. Sunday evening will also give us a chance to make sure that we all enjoy one anothers friendship. Suits for the gentlemen and a nice dancing dress for the ladies are suggested for Sunday evening. Monday morning there will be an early early breakfast — a discussion period at a private picnic grove and games for all — then a picnic luncheon. The luncheon will mark the official closing of the conference. To be sure of not missing one fine weekend make definite plans to attend the conference in McKeesport. -----------o----------BIBLES BY THE MILLIONS The complete Bible or portions of it has now been translated into 1,136 tongues, according to the American Bible Society. However, there are still more than 1,000 languages and dialects into which the Bible has not been translated, it said. A report to the agency’s 143rd annual meeting held recently in New York noted that in 1958, 16,629,486 copies of the Scriptures in 201 languages were distributed throughout the world. Of these 9,188,978 were complete Bibles. CARTERET, N. J. On July 12 we had a very successful family picnic, similar to that of last year’s. Our goal was not to make money but to have the members of our congregation spend a nice afternoon together where people who but greet each other on Sundays in church may have an opportunity to meet and learn to know each other. More than 200 came out in spite of the cloudy weather. The $1.50 donation by each adult member took care of the food and refreshments skillfully prepared by our elders and members of the Men’s Club. The members had no other expenses. Old and young alike had a wonderful time, and we feel we had real fellowship. New Bread communion will be on August 2nd, services at 8:30 in Hungarian, at 10 in English. Preparatory services on the preceeding Friday (English) and Saturday (Hungarian) at 7:30. Turn to the Hungarian section of congregational news for a list of recent baptisms and weddings. DUQUESNE, PA. The big event in June was our annual Vacation Bible School with 60 children participating; on many days we had perfect attendance. Under the leadership of the pastor six teachers worked with the children, very effectively. The teachers were: Irene Stiver, Helen Sapos, Ethel Galanta, Peggy Vasilisin, Sally Britton, and Irene Vockley. The Confirmation Class of 1959 was received into full membership of the Church on Sundoy, June 21. The following young people made their confirmation vows: Sondra Fisher, Georgia Kallery, Timothy Tamok, John Toth, and Linda Walker. During the summer our Women’s Club and Men’s Club are holding outdoor meetings. Our Sunday School picnic was held on the last Sunday of June. An excursion is planned for August 16 to Ligonier, Pa. — Our Sunday morning schedule calls for 9 o’clock Hungarian Service and 10 o’clock English Service. The summer Harvest Communion is scheduled for the first Sunday in August. PERTH AMBOY, N. J. Sunday School is being held every Sunday from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. Parents, please, bring your children and let them learn more from the Bible every Sunday. Our annual outing was in Pfeiffer’s Grove on July 12th. The Women’s Guild excursion to Paper Mill Playhouse, Millburn.N.J., will be on Tuesday, July 21st. See the officers and members for reservations. During the 275th Anniversary of our city, Perth Amboy, our church entered a float which was prepared by many loyal and faithful workers. The Hungarian Youth Club performed dances in costumes on the open air stage. The Christian Youth Club is making preparations to attend the Annual Conference on Labor Day weekend. Announcements of summer activities are made after church services every Sunday. Our Pentecost “legátus” was Csaba Baksa, who recently came to America from Austria. ROEBLING This year commencement exercises in the Florence Township Schools brought special honors to young members of the Hungarian Reformed Church of Roebling, New Jersey. Miss Georgiana Bordash, Sunday School teacher and one of the organists, graduated with highest honors in the class of 1959. She ranked first in her class through all four years of high school, receiving the awards as best in English, and U.S. History. At the graduating exercises of the public school Marge Botiinger, a member of our Church and Sunday School has received several awards as the girl with the highest average of her class in the Roebling Public School. This exceptional achievement of the young members has filled with pride not only the parents, but the whole fellowship of the Hungarian Reformed Church of Roebling. J\íewó 3rom T)he Congregation^
