THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

n,ifs win

AZ Christian Bible students-Ths Sat-
refractory Proof Of "Why God Per-
mits Evil"
One Of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today Is,
"Why does God permit evilr' As we
look about us in the world we observe
that 1t Is filed with sorrow and trouble.
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumerate, and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS 1T.
We realize that He is almighty and
that He could prevent it II He wished
We read In His Word that He Is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and we
know how much that means; yet Of
tentimes, It seems that those who try,
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question is made very
clear In a book entitled, 1.-The Divine
Plan Of the Ages" Every statement
is backed by Scripture. and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
HAS ALLOWED SIN AND DEATH
TO REIGN FOR THESE LONG SIX
THOUSAND YEARS. This and many
other subjects Of deep interest to all
Of Gods people are discussed fully and
