December 9, 1955 31 Sheed Says TV Lame * In Swaying Converts Television preaching is no substitute for face-to-face contact in winning con­ verts to the Catholic Church, according to Frank Sheed, the noted author, pub­ lisher and lecturer. Sheed currently is giving a series O"^* lectures on "The New Apologetics" at Notre Dame under the auspices of the University's department of religion. He is also member of Notre Dame's Liberal and Fine Arts Advisory Council. A modern pioneer in street preaching, Sheed claims that "the best way to put your ideas across to the man in the street is to go right into the street with him." The internationally known Catho­ lic layman concedes that television ib^ a marvelous medium, but insists that a well-written book has the deepest im­ pact. "A book lingers with you, holds you and can change you," Sheed con­ tends. "The people can't turn it off or walk away." An inveterate traveler, Sheed rivals the record of Secretary of State Dulles for the frequency of his trans-Atlantic crossings. He commutes from London to - New York on the average of once everyill' five weeks to fill speaking engagements and to tend to business matters at Sheed and Ward, the publishing house which he founded, with offices in both cities. He is the author of fifteen books includ­ ing Theology and Sanity, Saints Are Not Sad, and Communism and Man. Although Sheed has had considerable influence on Catholic thought, he never attended a Catholic school since his father wouldn't permit it. His fonnai^ introduction to theology came in the streets of Westminster, England, during the early twenties when he was intro­ duced to the Catholic Evidence Guild. The Guild was composed of street speakers who explained Catholic doctrine to anyone who would stop to listen. Having to explain or defend your religion sharpens your knowledge and love for it, Sheed says in recalling his work with the Guild. "You could present your arguments to the crowd and some­ times they'd tear them to pieces. You'a^ just have to go back and learn to present It's a pleasure to get to know OLD SPICE AFTER SHAVE your case for Catholicism more effec­ LOTION.
