ActsAttributed ToThreePersons

ByF.J.Sheed

ThedistinctionofactionamongthePersonsoftheBlessedTrinityisafactofthe innerlifeofGod.Itiswithinthedivine naturethateachlives,knoirs,loves,as Himself,distinct.

Buttheactionsofthedivinenatureuponcreatedbeings-ourselves,forexample -aretheactionsofallThree Persons,actingtogetheras oneprincipleofaction.

ItisbytheFather,Son, andHolyGhostthat,forexample,theuniverseiscreated andsustainedinbeing,.nd thateachindividualsoulis createdandsanctifiedin grace.Thereisnoexternaloperationofthedivinenature thatistheworkofonePersonasdistinctfromthe others.

AndyetScriptureandthe liturgyareconstantlyattributingcertaindivineoperationstoFatherorSonor HolyGhost.

IntheNiceneCreed,for instance,theFatherisCreator,the,SonisRedeemer, theHolySpiritisSanctifier, thegiveroflife.ThattheSonshouldbe calledRedeemerisobvious enough:Hedidinfactbecomemananddieforour salvation.

ButsinceallThreePersonscreate,whyisthe FathercalledCreator.Why -touseatheologicaltermisthecreationappropriatedto one,andsanctification totheother; Ifthereistobeappropria- tion,ofcourse,wecansee whyitisdonelikethis:We cansee,inotherwords,how theseparticularappropria-tionsareappropriate.

Withinthedivinenature, theFatherisOrigin,Sonand HolySpiritbothproceed fromHim.Creation-by whichtheworldoriginates andbywhicheachsoulorig- inates-isspokenofasbelongingespeciallytothe Father.

GiftOfLove

Again,withinthedivine nature,theHolySpiritis Love,theutteranceofthe loveofFatherandSon. Sanctification,grace-these aregifts,andgiftsarethe workoflove:Theyareap-propriatedtotheHolySpirit.

Graceisacreatedgiftof love.TheHolySpiritisthe uncreatedgiftoflove.By grace,TheFatherandSon expresstheirloveforus-as eternallytheyexpresstheir loveforeachother-inthe HolySpirit.

Isthereanysimilarap-propriationtotheSecond Person?Aswehavenoted, HeiscalledRedeemer,but notbyappropriation,since Eedidinfactredeemus Himself.ItwasnotFather, Son,andHolyGhostwho becamemananddiedforus, buttheSononly.

(Redemptionwasnotan operationofthedivinenaturebutofthehumannatureHemadeHisown.)But HehasHisappropriationall thesame.

IntheCreed,Godthe PotheriscalledCreator,and wehavejustseenwhy.But intheopeningofSt.John's Gospel,theSecondPerson seemstobeCreatortoo.

Allahabad,India,Feb.15.-Despitedifficultiesinsomeplaces,Catholicschoolsenjoyed"recognitionandpatronage"fromthe Indiangovernmentinrecentmonths,accordlingtoanationalreportontheprogressof Catholiceducationinthiscountry.

Itwassurprisinglyconsiderable.

Owingtopriorcommitments,wewereunabletoreviewthisplay. However.inthelightof thehighstandardofproductionofthesecond playandthefavourable commentsoverheardfrom thosewhosawthefirst. weareobligedtoreturn tothetheatretomorrow nightforacritique.

ThePlay:"Incidentat Stonewell," is Miss Percy'sfirstattemptat playwrighting,sinceshe reachedamatureage.On variousoccasionsshehas writtenscriptsforthe YouthEducationDept.of theA.B.C..andisquite wellknownforherfeaturedtalksontheradio.

Wefeel,however,that althoughherproduction wasdesignedforacast ofthree(usingonlyone set),thisveryfactobliges hertohaveconstructed herdialogueofvery strongmateriallestthe audiencegrowboredwith theactorsandthetheme oftheplay.

Regardingtheconstructionoftheplotitself,it has,becauseofitslimitations,definiteingrainedweaknesseswhichdonot assistthepassageofdialoguewhereonlytwo peopleareconcerned.

Foronething,inorder toestablishthelocaleand situationofthecharacters involved,andatthesame timecreatefluidity,it wasinescapablethat muchofthedialogueand plot,intheearlierparts oftheplay,shouldhave beenpallid.consistingof whatisknownas"pass thesugar"dialogue.

Fortunatelyheractors werecapableofrising abovethisdefect,which stemmednotfromMiss Percy'sinabilitytowrite compellingspeech,but rather causedfromnecessity bythelimitsimposedbyherplot.

Thisisafaultbywhich even writershighlyexperienced aretrapped,asit ispracticallyimpossible tosustainduologuewith-outtheaidofhighly peculiarandcomplex situations.

Neverthelessitmust besaidthatoncethe playwrighthadovercome her"preliminarybusiness,"theplaybeganto moveforward.andassumecolourandinterest Dialogue:

Takeninseparatecon-text,herinitialdialoguewasclever,andjustas itwouldbeinreallife, butbecauseofherplot construction,itcouldnot obviouslycontainenough senseoftheatretosustain anyinterestofahigh order.

However,onefeltat times that certain speechesin particularlytheplay, thoseofthe girl,smackedlightlyof cliches withandhackneyism asomewhatmarked Americaninfluence.

Characterisation:

Thefacetofwritingis soindeliblyapartofdialogueitself.thatverylittleremainstobesaid regardingit.Webelieve thattheplaywrightknew whathercharacters wouldfeel,andalsoin whatwaytheywould react,butininterpreting thoseemotionsinto spokenlines,wefeelshe lostasmallportionofthe truedepthandqualityof whatsheintendedtoconvey.

Beingherfirstperformedplay,thispointisnot ofgreatimportance,as oncemorewefeelthat practicewillmakeperfect.However,shemight dowelltobewareofallowingherdialogueto vergeonthesideof melodrama,unlessshe intendscreatingmelodrama.
