Finally, here is this ancient dilemma,
which is older than the Christian religion,
and is not worn out yet. If GOO is omnipo-
tent, He can stop pain; if He is GOOD. He
desires to stop pain; but he does not stop
pain; therefore He is either not omnipo-
tent or not good.
Now here is the problem OF pain. Is
there any solution to it? Here is the fact OF
pain. What can we do with 1t? Is it possi-
BILE that we can still maintain that God is
good?

BREATHED UNDER WATER.
Frenchman's Escape From Brigands by a
Clever Rusc.
lLfonnn Nalra

Fenimore Cooper, in his stories OF
hair-breadth escapes from Indians.
never hit upon more extraordinary de-
vice for eluding pursuit than one which
was related to President Carnot during
recent tour i'm Corsica. A French
traveller, SO the story went, ventured
some years ago TO pass through a
mountainous district of Corsica without
escort or any means of protection, and,
i'm crossing a particularly rough and
craggy region, found himself pursued
by band of brigandS.
As the traveller had some money on
his person. and feared that besides be-
ing robbed he would be hold in captivi-
iy for ransom, even if lie were not put To
death, he took TO flight.
knowing little of the country. he
soon stumbled upon the border of a lake
i'm the mountains. There was no path
around il: il was impossible to swim
across, and the brigandS were behind
him, though he was hidden from them
as yet by the rocks.
Whatever he did must be done in an
instant. Necessity quickened his wits;
he saw at once Il way out of the Difficult
tv and awaited himself of il.
He hastily cut with his knife one OF
the long. hollow reeds that grew on the
shore of the lake. Then he stopped up
his ears and noStrilS with wet clay from
the margin. took the reed in his mouth,
and waded out into deep water,
where he remained submerged with up
turned face, just allowing the upper
end of the reed TO project above the
surface.
On came the brigandS, following the
travellers tracks to the waters edge.
But what had become of him? Had he
flown across? Certainly he could not
have swum. There was no other way
of eScape. and the surface had by TINS
time stilled to a perfect calm.
The brgands remained waiting on the
shore for some time. but no sign OF the
traveller appeared. They concluded at
last that he was a Sorcerer who had
caused himself to vanish into thin air.
Then they disappeared, and the
Frencuman, who had been under water
all this time. breathing through his tube,
came out. He managed to keep under
cover. and make his way to Alacclo'
and there he declared that he had been
under water four hours.
1t is possible that his distress ana
alarm NAV have caused this period TO
annear many times longer than it really
was: but, in confirmation OF the man
partof his story, the Frenchman brought
with him a water-soaked section oil Il
