The Day After To–morrow

Abstract

Then it is not impossible for us to break in on the dead as still living, and settle for ourselves historic problems that have troubled the specialists : Did Louis XVI die nobly or in cowardly fashion? Was the Church of England, as by law established in the reign of Elizabeth, really considered to be continuous with the older Church that had been certainly continuous in England for a thousand years? Could Charlemagne have written a hymn? Were the Gospellers accurate in their chronology? What did the blessed Master mean in His teaching on the Eucharist or Divorce? Actually to watch and listen and be convinced: is this likely? No one knows. Is it possible ? Certainly, if Einstein’s theory is correct. The historian, alas ! can’t tell whether Einstein’s theory is correct or no.
