Graham Creene's Joylessness
Deplored BY Frank ]. Sheed

he said, "that not only was the love
making of the principal characters
(in End of the AffairO savage and
inordinate, but Greene's descrip-
ton of it also was savage and in
ordinate.
Mr.. Sheed attributed this not to
any malice on the part of the au-
thor but to the temper of the times.
"Idi0t Enthusiasm"
Universal education has given
the novelist a vast audience for his
novels" said Mr. Sheed, "but the
modern mass media of communica-
tion-radio, teIevision, movies, adj
vertising-hav fatigued, depersof-
allied, and flattened out the public.
All the wonderful differences that
make us persons get in the way of
the advertiser who relies on what
we all have in common" He cited
the radio commercials with their
Idiot enthusiasm for the rubbish
they SELL"
One result of the hucksterS'
shouting is that "every stimulus
has to be a powerful one, and the
writer has to lay the colors on
very thick"
"In this state" Mr.. Sheed went
on, ''the novelist tends to con-
centrate on the one nerve still
alive-sex."
Although he acquitted Graham
Greene of bad motives, Mr.. Sheed
added that greater men than
Greene have gone deeper" without
extreme realism.
Mr.. Sheed was introduced by
Prof. Wilfred Eberhart of Ohio
State University's Education De-
partment. The Rev. Bennett C. Ap-
plegate, Acting Superintendent of
Schools and Moderator of FCA,
presided.

The 1852 Critics Forum of the
international Federation of Cath
olic Alumnae got under way in Co.
lumbus last week with a brilliant
demonstration by Frank ]. Sheed,
Catholic publisher, author, and
theologian, of the joy of genuine
Catholic living and the depth OF
genuine Catholic scholarship.
A capacity audience at the Little
Theater of the Columbus Gallery
of Fine Arts heard the Australia
born Irishman deplore the joyless-
ness of Britain's leading Catholic
novelist Graham Greene.
Reviewing Mr.. Greene's most re-
cent novel, END of the Affair, I"
Mr.. Sheed pointed out that the
leading characters in the book
were not real persons but prob
lens to which the author has given
names"
The reason for this, according to
Mr.. Sheed, is mot that Mr.. Greene
didn't Ddnt to make them real per-
sons, but because he doesn't have
the vitality" to infuse into them.
Why? Because Graham Greene
lacks animal spirits beyond the
danger point"
Good Points, Too
But Mr.. Sheed, who is well equip
ped with vitality and animal spir-
its, also had some kind comments
about the novelist that Life mags.
zine chose to write about the AS
sumption of the Blessed Mother.
Greene has solid psychological
insights," he admitted, "and a mar
veIous writing ability"
There are enormous depths in
Greene" he went on, "as well as
enormous limitations"
One of these limitations, accord
ing to Mr.. Sheed, is the novelist's
extreme sexual realism. 81 believe" "

More Contributions Are Sought
For Church Work Over Nation

a number of States they have
banded together to form founda-
tions to promote joint solicitation
of funds from "big business" and
individuals.
The latest such group was or
ganized late last month in Ken

dependent College Foundation it
includes representatives of the
colleges and business and in
dustrial leaders.
Religious organizations, at the
same time, are attempting to raise
more money on regular basis
from their own members.
Seventeen major Protestant bod
les are currently stressing Chris

ing 10 per cent of ones income
to church work.
Churches also are experimenting
with new methods of Embarrassing.
One of the most-watched of such
Experiments is being conducted by
the American Baptist Convention.
1t is sponsoring a series of pilot
projects based upon the idea of
making every church member re-
|sponsible for his congregation S
budget rather than the board of
trustees.
Several novel features are being
utilized in the Baptist scheme.
The entire church membership
approves the budget before its
final adoption. Every church

praised by a committee of fellow
members. A house-to- house So

hundreds of church workers
trained over a period of months.
On the inter er-denominational
level a growing plan is the United
Church Canvass under which the
churches of a community annu-
ally conduct a simultaneous finan-
|cial campaign.
