"No formula or proposition can convey the peculiar quality of this experienced reality," says Knox. It is footless to try to describe God in detail because "we cannot know God except as He touches us, and great ranges of God's being lie beyond our knowing." Yet there are millions of people, not all of them formally associated with the institutional church, for whom God is "the most intimately known reality in our experience," a reality that "encloses us on every side and pervades our very being." Some facts about God can be confidently adduced from this widely shared experience, Knox says. First we can be sure "that God is that for all the mystery of his being, his elusi-veness of our categories both of experiencing and thinking, Dr. Brick lectures and Political Imprisonment under the Government of South Vietnam" will be Dr. Allan Brick's topic at a public meeting in the YWCA Sunday, 8 p.m.

Schools likened to jails By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Since the time of St. Thomas Aquinas, vast energies have been expended in efforts to construct, on the basis of philosophical speculation, a picture of what God "must" be like.

These efforts to delineate the "necessary attributes" of diety have never been entirely convincing, because they leave so much unexplained. For example, if God is both all-merciful and all-powerful, as speculative theology has traditionally insisted, why does he permit pain and evil to exist in the world? One of America's most brilliant and creative theologians, Prof. John Knox, suggests it is time for an altogether new approach. Instead of trying to reason our way to sweeping dogmas about the nature of God, he says, let's limit our statements about Him to what can be justified by direct experimental knowledge. Such knowledge is available, Knox says, in the community Lutheran FIRST LUTHERAN i 9:30 Sunday School 1 1 a.m.

Knox finds nothing in the communal experience of God to require the belief that He is omnipotent In the sense of being "the autonomous ruler of a fully and pervasively-determined cosmos." What is implied in man's experience of God is that He is "the ultimate source and ful-filler of existence the principle or power of coherence in what exists." This concept is not incompatible with recognition of a radical freedom which pervades the entire universe, from the smallest subatomic particle to human beings, so that things may take place which are neither desired nor "willed" by God. The community's experience contradicts any concept that would reduce God to an abstract principle or impersonal force. "I do not say that we must affirm, as a proposition, 'God is a but no view of God which makes inappropriate our saying, 'Thou' to Him can be true with God or relations are essentially personal. "Our experience does not provide us with categories of language to define or describe one who is so far beyond and above us, but we know that we are related to Him as the persons we are, and that He responds to us as the persons we are, and therefore that He must be in some analagous way personal himself." Knox is Professor of New Testament at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest. His comments as "experienced reality" are made in a small but potent book "Limits of Unbelief." Guest speakers at St.

Obituaries LONDON (AP) Gawsworlh, 58, a poor itinerant poet who assumed the myihical throne of a miniature Caribbean island and abdicated' after 20 years of carousing in London taverns, has died in hospital. Despite many honors, Gaws-worth was a vagabond, a fellow of the streets of London, sleeping in rooming houses when he had the money, on park benches when he didn't. He left 17 publications and hundreds of unpublished verses. VIENNA (UPI) The Czechoslovak news agency CTK announced Czech painter Jan Spala has died at the age of 50. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -This city's new school chief thinks too many classrooms are oversized jail cells and teachers spend too much time acting as jailers.

That's one of the reasons for student rebellion, said Dr. Thomas Shaheen. The surprising thing is that more do not rebel, he said in an Interview. "Our schools are organized on a semi-prison approach, on crime and punishment, and cops-and-robbers techniques," he said. "We have lack of trust; sign-in and sign-out slips, "detention systems, wardens and jailers, fear of escape, regimentation, limited opportunities for choice, barricaded or locked toilet rooms, celllike classrooms."

She began singing in operas 20 years ago, when she was 10, in her native Germany. She still docs her experimenting in Germany, where she is based with the Stuttgart Opera.

11:00 a.m.-PASTOR MUIR speaks tarn QUESTION am seventeen and would like to follow Christ, but 1 want to have some jun before I settle down. L.C. ANSWER Where did you get the idea that being a Christian keeps one from having fun? I'm afraid you have seen too many imitations of Christianity, and too little of the real thing. The happiest people 1 know are followers of Christ. If you could hear the laughter when Christians get together, and see the real joy on their faces, you would never say, "I want to have some fun before I settle down and be a Christian," again.

Probably you have listened to too many "don'ts" and negatives by older Christians. They just neglected to tell you that, although there are some "don'ts," and restrictions, God never asks us to give up anything that is good for us. Like any loving Father, He wants His children to enjoy the finest and best. But remember this: you can't beat God in the game of giveaway. If we give up something for Him, He gives back to us a hundredfold.

It really then isn't a sacrifice, but a game in which God takes delight in matching our consecration with blessings beyond measure.

"THE SHADOW OF THE BOOMERANG" Full-Length Color Film This Sunday Following 7 p.m. Service The Salvation Army Canadian Press UNITED NATIONS A Middle East peace treaty written in 1269 B.C. has reached the United Nations.

It covers all the essential points: eternal friendship between parties, lasting peace, territorial integrity, non aggression, extradition and mutual help. It Is the oldest written peace treaty to have been discovered. A replica of the treaty between Hattusillis III, King of the Hlttitcs, and Rameses II, King of the Egyptians, was presented to the UN by Foreign Minister Ihsan Sabri Cag-layangil of Turkey. Appropriately it was hung outside the chamber of the Security Council, the council responsible for dealing with world peace. The original clay tablet, which records the text In cuneiform script, was found in 1906 In centril Anatolia on the site of the old Hlttlte capital, Hattusas, now the present Turkish city of Bogazkoy.

The UN said an Egyptian copy of the treaty has been found. An English translation of the treaty shows that, though the language Is trifle flowery, the parties sought pretty well the same things as the parties in the Middle East seek todiy. The two kings, a trifle optimistically, said that their treaty is "forever." 9 jg tin mwm mi m'luiwnn, fn iL.M- 'Vir 1 1 EVANGELISTIC TABERNACLE 85 Eair 10th MS Sundoy School 11 o.m.
