The last of i scries of lectures by
Sit lioliert. Falconer, former president
of the University of Toronto, on "Reli-
gion On My Life's Road" will be pre -
senled tonight at 8:15 in the physics
nmphitlienter.
Sir Iljbert's subject will be "Faith
Through Tumultuous Years." Undei
the auspiccs of the Rockwell founda-
tion, ho spoke Tuesday on "Fu'th Be-
ing Established" and Thursday nigh!
on "Faith Taking Shape "
"No Spiritual exiierience can be do •
fined in a formula," he stated in the
first lecture Tuesday. "We arc loo big
for words Words can only approxi-
mate history. We can not get words
to express the deepest things in life."
Denying that erit|cilt historical in-
terpretation of the Bible has brought
about a decline in faith, Sir Robert
stated that the Bible is read today with
greater appreciation and understanding
than ever before.
"The New Testament hardly ever
approaches a philosophical definition.
The gospels sol forth a supremo ner-
fon whoso spirit had manifested God
to believers, and we accept Him to-
day."
In the second lecture Thursday Sir
Robert traced the development of
Christianity, and claimed that the fun-
damentals of the Christian dbetrine
have not changed.
