Dr. Udvarnoki Keeps Faifh in Humanlfy “Ruthless Commurists have been replaced by smiling Communists,” says a recent report to distinguished Hungarian Baptist scholar Bela Ud- vamoki, who adds, “and they are more dangerous." Dr. Udvarnoki, former president of both the Hungarian Baptist Conven tion and the Baptist Seminary in Bit dapest who saw his first wife, infant daughter and father killed during World War II as a result of Ameri cans bombing and Russians shelling that city, maintaia« a busy lecturing and preaching schedule which keeps him in contact with Hungarians and others from behind the Iron Curtain living in Canada and Europe, as well as the United States. “Beware of smiling Communists!" he war'ns. "Communism has not come to terms with Christianity or any other religion; it is still locked in a life-or-death struggle, Marists are not ready to admit defeat and only their method and plan for destroying C ri.st anity is shrouded in the veil of affability. Since Communism could not demolish religion, as it had ex pected, it took over churches to re duce their strength and seal their doom.” The former featured speaker during sessions of the Baptist World Alliance at Berlin in 1934 who also addressed the World Baptist Youth Congress at Zurich in 1937 explains that church men from behind the Iron Curtain at such meetings are to intimidated to give a true picture of Communism in their countries. ‘"Elections in reli gious organizations are prearranged,” he explains, “and only those prefer red and approved by the government can be elected to leadership position in the churches. Church administra tion is executed through government- selected, favored leaders, with com manding, antheistic government func tionaries remaining in the background while smiling, willing church officials act.” In 1947 Dr. Udvarnoki returned to the United States, where he earlier received master of theology and doc tor of philisophy degrees at South ern Baptist Theological Seminary after graduating from universities in Bud apest and Germany, to preach re vivals throughout 17 states. A tourist from Hungary relayed a warning from a member of the Hungarian se cret police who was a personal friend of Dr. Udvarnoki, when he was pre- paiing ta return with his second wife. Ruby, and two sons, Bela, Jr., and Eugene, that he would be arrested as a political prisoner if he did return. He and his family remained in Amer ica and Dr. Udvarnoki became Chair man of the Department of Social Science at Chowan College in 1952. In 1956 when Hungarian citizens overthrew the Communists, Dr. Ud varnoki packed his bags for a trip to Hungary, but fave up his plans three days later wiien Russian troops and tanks crushed the revolution. He keeps close contact with friends and family members there, inchiding a sister and a brother who i& a Bap tist minister. ☆ ☆ ☆ Selfishness is the suicide of all last ing greatness. ☆ ☆ ☆ Personalities shrivel when the mind is unfed.
