publisher told more than 200 del-

JOHN M. BRENNAN
egates to the 41st convention of
The Catholic Laymen’s Associa
tion of Georgia, that “Atheism is
practically non-existent today,”
adding that it is rare to find one
who even is willing to call him
self one.
Mr. Sheed pointed out that the
world is hungry for the knowl
edge of God and that it is our
task to supply this knowledge to
the starving millions. -
Outlining the work of the Cath
olic Evidence Guild, Mr. Sheed
told Georgia’s Laymen that he
was giving to them information
which they had learned from their
street-corner preaching, so they
may use what they could in their
work. “Difficulties the street
preacher meets in speaking to
large numbers are the same that
the individual meets in bringing
a knowledge of God to an ac
quaintance” Mr. Sheed told the
convention.
In winning converts, he stated
that the Evidence Guild had
learned that best results are ob
tained when they (1) Avoided
Controversy; (2) Showed their
audience the “Fullness of God;”
(3) Merely stated the Churches
teachings, leaving their listeners
to draw their own conclusions.
The Most Rev. Francis E. Hy
land, Bishop-Elect of the Diocese
of Atlanta, presided at the two
day meeting. Bishop Hyland will
be installed as first Bishop of the
newly created Atlanta See on
November 8th.
Elected president of the As
sociation was John M. Brennan of
