TWO THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 193ft. Campus Religion In Campus Life An impressive group of religious leaders, coining from all parts of the world onl re presenting every creed and color, is gathered on the university campus this week to lead timely and significant discissions on religion and life. Students and faculty members are hosts to the religious crusaders as well at guests to their most intriguing talks. There is much to he done during this week-long program for the university in ful filling the purpose of the conclave. Unfortu nately, not every student will he able to attend at least one session. Hut there will be many students, eagerly seeking light on perplexing situations, who will take time off to attend, to talk, to question and to understand. Taking: time off from the problems of everyday life appears to be the major prob lem on the Nebraska campus. There seem to be too many other things which, siren-like, lure students away from the religious aspects of undergraduate life. The satisfaction of the inbred inner qualities is not realized. Stu dents are not necessarily irreligious. They have ignored religion for the diversions of the day. This may be a sad commentary on stu dent faith, but it is true. It is similarly true that life itself is what uludciils hold dearest, lint a life without re ligion which embraces loyalty, reason, toler ance, purpose and faith is not a full life. There must be more than what meets the eye, because religious fervor comes from within a person and not from the fleeting circumstances of the day. University students, many of whom are still in their "teens," arc not too old to have outgrown their Sunday school lessons of not ho many years ago. Neither are they too young to begin seeking the satisfaction of those inner qualities- This is the perfect age for self-indoctrination of the religious spirit. There is no reason for students to abandon the plea sures of the day. Religion does not ask thaf. Religion only asks that it be integrated and blended harmoniously into one's life. Religion is not a halter around a student's neck which holds him in cheek from worldly pleasures. Religion is true faith in and service to CJoil regardless of creed nnd color. Religion and Life week enables all students to participate in seminars and to attend relig ious discussions that make for the dovetailing -of religion into life and life into religion. Briefly, here is the purpose of the week's work : "Many students are seeking a controlling life purpose and an inner satisfaction which they do not possess. Aimless living is paling upon some, who now seek an abiding loyalty for their lives. Some seek light on the per plexing situation in which their lives are in volved ; growing numbers are addressing them selves to religious leaders, concerned to know what Christianity is and what it has to offer; some are consciously looking for a leader in whom they may believe utterly, and for a cause to which they may commit themselves with confidence and sacrificial abandon. Many more American students are in the mood of vague wistfulness and are open to a vital pre sentation of the Christian message, while the number of those who actively oppose or show a callous indifference toward all religion, seems to be declining." Chemical Group to Hear Dietz Meeting This Evening Features Talk on Celite (.ml Dietz, chemical engineer, will speak before the University of Nebraska section of the Amer ican Chemical society at a meet ing; called for this evening at 7:30 o'clock in the main lecture room of Avery laboratory.

KOO DISCUSSES ORIENT (Continued from PHge 1.) ligion," said E. Stanley Jones to a filled coliseum on Sunday, speak ing on "What Can We Believe in an Age of Science?" "Let scientific technique be backed by religion and we can re make the world. Science alone can't do it; religion alone can't do it. Piety can't make a motor car or even repair one. Science can go into the laboratory and make serums to heal the world, or it can make explosives to destroy it . . . science has to give to religion a new method, religion has to give to science a new spirit and direc tion." Jones also explained religion as a continuous urge. "The moment you want to live a better life, you're religious . . You can't help it . . . The business of religion is not to get you into heaven, but to get heaven in'o you- not to keep you out of hell, hut to get hell out of you ' Mr. Ouorton Speaks.
