Show o "D UJ s 5 More complaints Editor: Dr. Rex Campbell's article on Utopia in the homecoming issue of the Chronicle was interesting but discouraging. The discouraging discourag-ing part was not the analysis of man's predicament. Dr. Campbell is correct in his statement that man is not sufficient to achieve Utopia on his own. A study of history is sufficient to support this. Whether man's situation has been monarchy or anarchy, capitalism capi-talism or socialism, escapism or rationalism, never has his situation approached the ideal of the existing exis-ting Utopia. It is enough to rationalize. ratio-nalize. The discouraging part of Dr. Campbell's article was his conclusion con-clusion that the striving for Utopia is the practical part of Utopia; thus Utopia, while nowhere, now-here, is everywhere.

I cannot accept that Utopia is relative or a part of a process. The Biafran child starving to death may not realize that his dreams of food are Utopia. His distended stomach may hurt so much that he can't understand what dreaming is at all. He probably pro-bably wants a real, existing Utopia. Who will tell him that man is insufficient (inability, in goodness) to produce his Utopia. Not I. It is not enough to rationalize, rational-ize, but it isn't enough to dream either. Man may be insufficient to produce Utopia on his own, but there is good news. God has intervened inter-vened by sending His Son Jesus as a man to provide for man's insufficiency. insuf-ficiency. Because of this man Jesus, Utopia is not a mytir but a promise made possible by die transformation of lives. Man, transformed, empowered by God to love, is not bound by his insufficiency. Man's insufficiency lets the child starve. Let's stop dreaming about a nowhere land and claim by faith God's love-filled love-filled gift of Jesus, our sufficiency. suf-ficiency.
