To the Editor of the "Nonrs-Cuina Datty News."
Sin,—Your—contributor "Church Notes" only makes confusion worse confounded in the matter of the Einstein hypothesis. It is quite apparent that Mr. Leeson is almost as unacquainted with the Newtonian theory of gravitation as he is with Einstein's hypothesis.
In order to clear this matter up I may say:—
(Q) That Einstein does not alter the Newtonian constant or the practical value of the Newtonian rules to any extent which is of consequences in ordinary astronomical matters.
(2) That there is no revolution in the sense which has been suggested. The President of the Royal Society refers to a revolution in our conception of the ether, which has as matter of fact been expected for 10 years.
(8) That Einstein's hypothesis forms no basis for theological discussions.
