first combinations and indorse-
IL ments Of the Einstein theory of
relatively were promulgated, they
received a cordial reception in the scien-
tiflc world and were considered epoch
ally important Scientists and astron-
omers came halfway round the world
to congratulate the sapient discoverer,
and the whole realm of physics and
/ astronomy seemed due to undergo the
most radical revisionS, both in concept
and deductions. At first men of scien-
tiflc attainment, prominent in all phases
of natural investigation, were prone to
accept the theory of Albert Einstein
which postulated primarily that velocity
| and not gravitation is the basic factor
in the visible and perceptible universe.
Prof. Einstein took the velocity of
light as the standard. All other veloci-
ties and substances are visible or in
visible, perceptible or imperceptible, to
! us in exact proportion to their relative
velocity as compared with the velocity
OF light ray Einstein further postu-
lated that the density of all physical
bodies depended on their velocity, and
that this relative velocity operated to
keep the earth and other planets. and
the stars, and every ingredient Of them,
in mutually reciprocating positions.
Newton arrived at substantially the
same point by theory of attraction
rather than OF repulsion.
! However, of later years the Einstein
theory has been challenged Indeed,
/ perhaps of 100 most eminent contem-
porary scientists, scarcely one is fully
convinced of the correctness of that
doctrine, which even its sponsor has
modified in some respects since its
initial pronouncement. But, after ALL
and as he himself explains 1T, Einstein Is
net seeking a certain vogue and reputa-
! ton among scientists, or the adulations
! CT the public. He is simply endeavoring
to find and grasp the truth and is al
ways ready to revise his theories in
the desire to end the tragedy Of elemen-
tai error which. has engulfed humanity
in all its ages. 1t is by scrutiny and
disputation that we shall ultimately
know the real facts of life.

ages men have tried to peer into the

! That there is something authentic in
spiritualistic phenomena seems reason
able 1t would be hard to account for
some Of the messages received and
/ some of the manifestations disclosed
! except ON the presumption that there
has been communication with the de-
parted. and for all we know we may
be surrounded with benevolent or mali
cious spirits all the time
1t is logical to suppose that in a
scientific age, wherein we have learned
the necessity for specific and sufficient
contacts in physical perceptions. a
knowledge of the laws governing spirit
/ ual interchanges Is also necessary. We
cannot talk with our departed dear
| ones because we do not understand
rs yet the methods of approach They
are anxious to show themselves and to
talk with us, but we are blind and
deaf to their opportunities because we
! cannot exalt ourselves to their spirit
ual plane, and they are bereft of the
physical forces and capacities that
would enable them to operate on our
baTer cogitations.
Many believe, however, and in this
group are ell the orthodox of the Catho-
lie faith. that the spirits of those who
have died do not speak and are not
! yis.b'c to us In this life. Some Of them
are expiating their sins in purgatory.
Others, perhaps are in paradise. And,
as Voltaire once said Of those who have
gone before, the souls which are in
