MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 15 I should say guys, because a lot of them weren’t kids, were out galavanting around camp, another boy, Matt, and I had a more or less private dicussion with Bill Roberts and his co-lecturer George O’Carroll, on a numerous number of varied topics, basically dealing with the established church and its future. We also had our candlelight service Saturday night, and this to me was very inspiring; even though it took me four tries to get my candle lit. Sunday morning we had our Sunrise Service with Rev. Kalman Adorján officiating. Sunday afternoon, we had our Business Meeting and a shaving cream battle was scheduled, to follow the Saturday skirmish, which I forgot to mention. Fortunately, except in minor propor­tions, it never occurred and the meeting went smoothly. . That night we had our dance with a group called the Time Machine, who were absolutely fabulous. Everybody had a good time and I, who really can’t, danced. Monday was our last day and, as is usual, it was the day everybody really met everybody else. By met, I mean really got to know each other. If anybody reading this was at the conference, I’m the kid with the watch around his neck. . . I left with a greater awareness, an urge to read God’s word, a sense of companionship, and a cold. I hope every­one who went this year and more go next year. It’ll be sponsored by Youngstown. I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m going. Sándor “Sandy” E.
