22 FRATERNITY given by our Federation to the Ministerial Association for the printing of hymnals for use in the American Hungarian Reformed congregations. The final instalment was repaid in 1954. Every year it contributes toward the expenses of our young people’s church camps and conferences. Through two decades, several thousand dollars have been given by our Federation as aid to deserving university or college students of lesser means. Toward Scholarship Funds of Calvinist colleges and theological seminaries in the dismembered old country, behind the Iron Curtain, a goodly amount has been sent. It has sent large amounts to the Canadian Reformed old folks’ home and to the South American Hungarian Reformed churches. For the glory of God, for the preservation of our faith, from its assets, from its surplus income, the Federation gave all it possibly could. My expression of appreciation is due to the 204 fellow branch officers, with whom I have served in our Federation, that during these 20 years they have handled and are handling the money paid to them with precise and faithful accounting. Looking back, this is the sketchy account of 60 years of our Federation’s assets, which were handled by its treasurer. Everyone can ascertain from this brief resume just how much of every cent given by our members since the beginning of this work has been turned over to good works, in the Spirit of love instilled by Jesus Christ. In the ranks of the American Hungarians our Federation has walked in front; since its founding it has been a guiding light on the road of brotherly love, love of country, love of God. It will remain just that in the future. The Hungarian Reformed Federation of America did not bury its treasure.
