American Can Company ''THE REVOLUTION IS HERE ...''

Or. Francis Schaeffer, noted lecturer and student leader from Switzerland, returned to the Covenant College campus in November. As is the case wherever he goes, there was a stir among students, faculty, and a host of visitors. To say that there was both an intellectual stir and a spirit­ ual stir might casually reflect some of what ba'ppened during the busy week. But it would also directly obscure what was at the heart of that which Dr. Schaeffer said and what is at the core of a Covenant College education. Most of what Dr. Schaeffer said was related to man's error in divorcing "spiritual reality" from the rest of his experience. As he has done in his several books-especially in Escape from and The God Who Is There-he showed examples in the fields of art, Iiterature, philosophy, and of man's increasing tendency to divide life into an "upper story" and a "lower story." Two of his evening lectures concerned epistemology, or the science of knowing. "Modern man," said Dr. Schaeffer, "no longer knows how to know-he isn't sure he does or can know-and the line between reality and fantasy is gone." "The generation gap is an epistemological gap," he went on. "it isn't just that the new generation cannot communi­ cate with the older generation. They have trouble communi­ cating with themselves. 'I have no sense of reality,' young people say, and when they say that, they are really saying why they cannot communicate." Dr. Schaeffer noted the relationship between such an out­ look and the drug culture, but he insisted that drugs are merely an evidence of this generation's frustration in its efforts to find reality. "We could snap our fingers and re­ move all drugs from the scene, and even then-on the basis of where rationalism and humanism have brought us-we wouldn'tbeabletodistinguish between reality and fantasy." He said that everywhere a _person turns today, he is con­ fronted with the message: "You cannot know." Novels, cinema, television, music, and art combine in their effort not only to discredit absolutes in , but also to dis­ credit absolutes in ways of knowing. "Man has wiped him­ self out as an observer," Dr. Schaeffer said. Even in this context, however, said Dr. Schaeffer, evan- gelicals are pleading with their young people to maintain He also showed how the historic vocabulary of orthodox the status quo. "But the status quo doesn't belong to the Christianity has been explicitly used to deny the ethics and Christian in this post-Christian era." value systems that it once affirmed. The liberals presently Dr. Schaeffer's final lecture was devoted to a description have the continuity of both the language and organization of American society in a post-Christian era, and a look into of the church to persuade the public of their position." the future. It was by no means an optimistic look. "The elite have the tools to work with," Dr. Schaeffer "The revolution is not going to come ... the revolution said. "They have already begun their work. All they need is here. It's not a game-it's the stuff out of which blood to complete it is the apathy of those who know the truth." runs." In a moving conclusion, Dr. Schaeffer called not simply Dr. Schaeffer described two totalitarianisms, either of for a return to intellectual assent to Christian truth, but for which he considers to be potentially able to overtake Amer­ an application of the absolutes of Christ's gospel to every ican society.

Dr. Schaeffer then spoke at length of the extent to which such a society already exists in America. He referr3d to the disappearance of absolutes in scientific and historical research, and said that both areas of study rest too much today on "sociological preferences."

This master plan, recently completed by architect Charles for February 24 Stade, is the result of several years' consultation with the board of trustees, the administration, the faculty, the students, and the community.

The (continued inside back cover) Jhave a problem that I would like to share with you this morning. I know a man who is very sick. He has swollen to about double his size; the stench from the disease is so great that he has to live apart from people; he's very sure that God has forsaken him. He was once a very rich man, but he's lost all that. He was once a very influential and powerful man, but not any more. He was once a very happy father, but he's lost all of his children. What should we do for him? Don't we have some ointments and salves that we could rub on him? Couldn't a surgeon use a knife or scalpel to re­ lieve the pressure of the fluid? Isn't there a verse of scrip­ ture somebody could quote to him-like Romans 8:28, or something like that? What do you do? God the Lord came to this man, and he said, "Job, I have a stretcher here, and I am going to take you to make a couple of visits." First, God took Job out to the planetarium. "Job," he said, "how about it? Where were you when I made these stars? How do you control these constellations?" Job said, "Wait a minute, Lord. You have the wrong JOB idea. I'm a sick man. I don't want to study astronomy. I don't want to learn about the Pleiades or the secrets of the GETS snow. I want somebody to speak to me." But the Lord said, "I'm not going to talk about your troubles, Job. Where were you when I made the world? SOME That's what I want to know. And who do you think you are?" POINTERS "Well," Job says, "if you want to get academic about it, I guess I don't know too much. I guess I'll just let you talk." So the Lord said, "Get back on your stretcher, and we'll ATTHE go out to the zoo. How about some camels and ostriches and hippopotami?" ZOO "Yes, Lord, but I'm starting to itch.

This is something that God felt is so important that he took this very, very wonderful man, and he gave him experiences that you and I don't know any­ thing about. And then he treated him in this seemingly Now here we are at a Christian college. The message of Job is this: that we learn best when we learn from God.
