THH PROBLEM SOLVED. BY Miles p Squier, d D NJ
York Published by NJ w. Dold. One volume .

The problem solved in this small volume;
nothing less than the great question Of III.
Origin of Evil. Our excellent friend. Edwari
Beecher, of Boston, last year published a work
entitled "The Conflict of Ages" which h..
hoped would come to close on the publication
OF his book; but instead of that, some dozen
OF books have been published, in conflict with
his labor of love. And here Dr. Saniar bss
given US his solution of an enigma which b,,
puzzled the minds of men from the DAYS of
Adam to the present; and, as we guess. will
continue to craze the minds of men 10 tba onj
of time. 1t is insoluble; and, in our iud,
ment, was designed of God to be n test of A
cility-to show men whether they have the
faith of Abraham, and can trust God in the
dark. This volume, however, though the title.
page is so explicit, does not pretend to i,
what is therein affirmed SO confidently. For II
is stated by him to be brief transcript of hi,
own method of analysis respecting the rea
tions of God to moral evil and is presented
by him in the confident belief that it is a contri
button which will aid in the final development
of the truth, and the solution of this enigma Of
the world. ~
