With ihe historical problems of national

I'eace lalk and peace movements are well

The world might today take a lesson
from Spain. War-torn, irrevocably marred,
livelihoods destroyed, towns bombarded out
of existence, women and children massacred
in the streets Spain presents a striking
picture of war at its foulest. When the peo

England and Italy are willing- and anxious
to undergo the suffering of the Spaniards,
are willing- to give their lives and their fami

then let them fight.
NEWS PARADE

Four years ago inventor Landon was a
practically unknown business man running for
the governship of Kansas. John Hamilton was
a equally obscure politician unsuccessfully op
posing Landon. No love was lost between them.
Even a year ago, Landon was compara
tively unheard of. According to the poll of
the American Institute of Public Opinion taken
in March l!K!."i, Landon was the choice of only
2 percent of the republican voters canvassed.
In the fall of .1!1:.", Landon s stock began to
skyrocket. Hy December of that year accord

The Counsellor's Corner
The Most
Important Pursuit
BY
Kcv. Henry Krek
University Lutheran Pastor
Last Sunday was All-University-Church-Sunday. According t
Nebraska tradition it is the purpose of this Sunday to introduce om
university population to the various churches of Lincoln. Kach student
is Jo attend the church of his choice on this day.
But let us not think that Church-Sunday comes only at the begin
ning of the academic year. For the Christian student every Sunday is
a (Jo-To-Clun vh-Sunday. Hebrews 10, 25: "Not forsaking the as
sembling of ourselves together, as the manner of pome is". This refeif
to the assembly of public worship. And Jesus tells us in Luke 11, 2S;
' Blessed arc they that hear the Word of God and keep it."
Why is this matter so vital o
toe
Landon won ihe republican nomination
hands down, and John Hamilton was elccled
atio.il ropublica chairman, but the republican
stock was still very low on the polilical mar
ket. Nearly everyone expected Koosevelt lo
win in a walkaway.
The bullish character of the Landon stock
was apparently transferred to ihe republican
parly, and the republican slock began to rive
in sympathy with Landon. At the present time,
all pro-elect ion barometers, such as the str.iiv
polls and the Maine election are pointing to a
toss up race instead of a sure democratic vic
tory. Undoubtedly Landon 's rise from political
obscurity to national fame has been one of
ihe fastest ever witnessed in America. What
is the secret of Landon 's popularity?
Landon is a "natural" geographically.
The astute republican leaders saw lhat they
would probably win in the east, their proverb
ial slronghnld, anyway, as long as they nomi
nated someone more conservative lhan Roose
velt. The middle west and far west were
strongly in favor of Ihe new ileal because of
the popularit of Roosevelt's farm programs
i:i the middle west and ihe popularity of his
irrigation and power projects in ihe far west.
The republicans hoped to win this section by
nominating a man from the west. Landon, a
governor of a prairie state, was the ideal man
fur tiiis situation.
Landon also fits into the present polilical
siluation well because of his policies. He has
a reputation of being more conservative than
R,..scvc!t and therefore receives the support
of ihe business men and other conservatives
whose one inlercst is lo sec ihe budget bal
anced. He is actually a progressive but is not
as radical as Roosevelt so this class choose
him as the lesser of two evils.
While barely conservative enough to
S' cure the support of ihe money interests, lan
don is progressive enough not lo entirely scare
away labor and agriculture. He advocates a
farm program similar lo lhat of Roosevelt and
has ;.dvoeatcd other progressive reforms which
will insure that at least some of the progres
sives will vole for him.
Landon has accomplished the apparenlly
impossible because he filled into a peculiar
ilii;lion peculiarly well. He comes from the
west and thus has strengthened the republican
standing' there without materially end.ingerif'g
ihe comparatively safe republican standing in
the cist. He is reputed to be a little more con
servative than Roosevelt and therefore will re
ceive the traditional republican vote of the
money interests in the east. Yet he is progres
sive enough to lake a big slice of the progres
sive vote away from the president. These facts,
combined with his personal popularity, have
combined to project Alfred Landon into the
polilical limelight.
that it should cause Jesus to
give the serious direction of
Matthew 6, 33: "Seek ye first
the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness"? This certainly
signifies the spiritual privileges
and blessings of the gospel. He
who faithfully receives the mes
sage of the gospel becomes in
terested in and identified with
its blessings and privileges.
Through this spiritual Kingdom
we receive both title and meet
ness for God's eternal Kingdom
and glory.
We are to seek the righteous
ness of God also. This is a justify
ing righteousness. I Corinthians 1,
30: "Dut of him are ye in Christ
Ci:::s, who of God is made unto
. j wisdom, and righteousness, and
. ..notification, and redemption". It
is also a sanctifying and a prac
tical righteousness. Romans 6, 13:
"Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of unrighteousness
unto sin; but yield yourselves unto
God, as those that are alive from
the dead, and your members as
instruments of righteousness unto
God".
"Seek ye" implies a conscious
ness of our need of these things.
To be sure, many do not feel tlifd
need and are totally indifferent to
it. But the soul which is awakened
unto the realities of religion is
deeply impressed with this neces
sity. "Seek ye" also implies earnest
application on our part. We must
seek these spiritual blessings at
the right source the throne of
grace, and with perseverance un
til wc obtain them.
And wc are to seek them "first".
These spiritual mattei-s are first
in importance. They are the foun
dation of the business of life. They
are of superlative worth. Here ia
the "Pearl of great price".
