'Agnostic Faith' Is Conant Topic Today

In a speech scheduled for delivery at Memorial Church services this morning President Conant will take for his theme the biblical text, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?"

Confronted with "the admittedly grim prospects of the present," President Conant recognizes that men with "solid faith... founded on religious beliefs" are best able to maintain composure and integrity.

For agnostics, with no reliance on the supernatural to support them, he suggests reference to the theory of Probabilities. Instead of becoming paralyzed by the fear of a coming war, they should ponder the prospect that there is "just as good a chance that we will see the beginning of an effective world government in the next ten years us that we shall witness the total obliteration of the heavily industrialized nations."
