Fraters Augustine Crawford and George Hayes re turned from St. Benedict’s Col lege, Atchison, Kans., where they are completing their undergrad uate work for their degrees. Mr. Chairman and Fellow Re treatants: Your Resolutions Committee has the honor to submit the following report: On this twenty-third annual re treat, under the auspices of the Catholic Laymen’s Association of Georgia, we first offer our thanks to Almighty God that He has grant ed us another opportunity to spend this week-end in intimate compan ionship with Him. We feel that this experience has been refreshing and strengthening to our souls, elevat- ting and inspiring to our minds, and has increased the fer or of our hearts, all tending to better ac complish our one grand purpose in life. It is with a deep sense of sor row that we note the absence of several members of our Retreat Section whose presence and ex ample have edified us in previous years. Some are absent because of ill-health or other Providential causes; others have been taken to their eternal reward when they were most acceptable in God’s sight. Noble Catholic gentl' - ten all, we are conscious of their spiritual presence and participa tion in our spiritual exercises, and we are the better for it. We pray that God may give strength and an abundance of graces to those still on this earth and that the souls of our faithful departed, through the infinite mercy of God, may eternal ly rest in peace. We offer a hearty welcome to those who this year are making their first retreat, and pray that they may leave with the strong de termination to repeat it annually. We invite them to join our Union of Prayer and promise to include in their might prayers one Our Father and three Hail Marys for the intention that all our retreat ants and Reverend Retreatmasters may keep in a state of grace and be granted God’s blessing of a happy death. We expect them to also encourage the growth of the Retreat movement by persuading at least one friend annually to make the retreat. In a special manner we welcome and greet those members of our armed forces, all of whom are from distant Dioceses and States, whose military duties permitted their participation in this year’s retreat. May their safe return home to fam ilies and firesides be attended by recollection of their brief associ ation with us, as ours will be of them, and may their consepts of Catholicism in Georgia be founded on a lively appreciation of the quarter-century growth of the Catholic Laymen’s Association of Georgia. Even in the quiet and seclusion of a retreat we cannot completely dispel from our minds the reali zation that we are engaged in a total war, that families in our Dio cese are desolated by the death of someone near and dear to them and to us, some who are in enemy hands, some whose fate is un known, all. victims of war’s horror and havoc. American Catholics— Georgia Catholics—have contribut ed and are bearing their full share of the common cost; and because of the many precious lives it has cost us, let it never be forgotten that we will not be content with less _ than complete unconditional subjugation of our enemy. For the welfare of our heroes who have suffered, are now suffer ing, and inevitably will suffer physical, mental and emotional anguish, we pray God to be near in their hours of need; and to their grief-stricken families we pray that He will bring comfort conso lation and resignation to His Holy Will. We offer to our Retreatmaster, the Reverend Thomas J. S. Mc Grath, 'S. J., our tribute of admi ration and regard. We have found immeasurable benefit in his doc trinal discourses; he has instilled into -our minds a greater appreci ation of our faith, and in our hearts a fervency which will re main, please God, a long, long time. We pray that Father Mc Grath may continue his ministry for many years to come, reaping rich and abundant harvests of souls, as we will remember, that we are, and ever '/ill be, indebted and grateful to him. We find it difficult to express adequately our obligation and thanks to the Reverend John J. Crean, the dear Sisters of St. Jo seph. and their boys, for the re ception and hospitality accord ed us. They have annually, com mencing in 1931. twice in 1936, done us the great favor of taking us in and caring for all our needs. We are aware of many of the bur dens and difficulties incident to providing for us, but we fear there are other problems not made known by our most gracious hosts and hostesses. We hasten to assure them that they hav» made perma nent impressions on and in our hearts, those who this year were their guests for the first time and all others who have enjoyed their hospitality over the years.' We shall never forget them, and pray that God may shower upon them His most bountiful blessings in fullest measure. We recommend that these senti ments be recorded in the perma nent archives of the Catholic Lay men’s Association of Georgia and a copy be furnished each of the local branches here represented Respectfully, J. P. Hornsby, Ivy Miles J. O’Connor, Augusta R. W. Hatcher, Milledgeville Norman J. Wrigley, Atlanta John J.
