of justice for yuor race; it will depend on your behavior whether or not you will be able to secure friends. We beg you not to regard the years of your exile as an affliction, but as a privilege and a blessing. As an opportunity to prove your own values and also to acquire more knowledge and experience to build the future Magyar life according to the will of God.

We started with a testimony; we close with a testimony. We confess that God has a purpose with us, Magyars, and because He has a purpose, we believe that He will preserve our people and give back the freedom of their country. For this we will never cease to pray, to work, as long as we live. So help us God!

The Convention received the presented declaration with great enthusiasm and requested the Supreme

Council to publish it in the proper manner and

place.

32. Alexander Daroczy, Vice President, presented the text of the other declaration also,

which the Convention returned to the committee to include the arguments and viewpoints discussed in the session. The Convention enlarged the committee with its delegates representing the interested church and social groups.

33. Secretary George E. Kerekes Borshy presented the list of the

winners of the Nationwide Membership Contest which closed May 20th.

The detailed account of the contest results will be published by our

official organ, but the Convention wishes to present a medal of award — according to its old practice — personally and with solemn formalities

to each winner of the contest, partially on the basis of their length of
