Congresses

Esperanto congresses are very useful.

"As the ancient Hebrews three times each year convened in Jerusalem in order to enliven within them the love of the monotheist idea, so we every year convene in the capital city of Esperantism in order to enliven within us the love of the Esperantist idea. And this is the primary essence and the main goal of our congresses."

And the more we participate in our yearly congresses, the more we associate, and the more the principles of the Green Ensign will penetrate our souls.

"Little by little, the land of Esperantists will become a school of the future, linking humanity with itself, and this comprises the most significant merits of our congresses."

Numerous journals have adopted Interlingua as a secondary editorial language for abstracts and summaries, and several international congresses — notably the Second World Congress of Cardiology in 1954 in Washington — have found it useful as a substitute for multiple translation in their programs.
