THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

A. Christian Bible students-The Sat-
isfaetory Proof of "Why God Permits
Evil"
One Of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today Is,
"Why does God permit evil?" 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 1t If 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 1t seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble This question is made very
clear In a book entitled. The Divine
Plan of the Ages" Every statement
Is backed by Scripture. and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
HAS HAD A PURPOSE IN ALLOW
ING SIN AND DEATH TO REIGN
THESE SIX THOUSAND YEARS.
This and many other subjects of deep
interest to all of Gods people are dis

WHEN GREAT MEN WENT BROKE
Fame Could Not Save Them From
Getting Into Financial Trouble.

A sketch of the life Of Thomas JEFF
ferson, recently printed in the papers
of the country, tells of the troubles that
overlook Mr.. Jefferson in his finances
that threatened him with extreme pow
erty in his old age. He was not a
man of great wealth, but he married
a woman who was the owner Of a
large landed estate and 125 negro
slaves. But he was not what would
be called a good manager" and was
in the habit of spending more money
than he made.
A dozen years before his death the
government, through an act of con-
gress, purchased his library, for which
he was paid $4,000, but through hav-
ing indorsed for a friend he became
impoverished, and it was expected that
he would have to give up his home at
Monticello. Wealthy friends, how
ever, came to his rescue and raised a
considerable sum Of money. In speak
ing of this he said: mot a cent OF
this is wrung from the taxpayers. 1t
was a pure and unsolicited offer Of
love"
Some readers will recall how, when
through unfortunate investments at
the solicitation of pretended friend.
General Grant after he became presi-
dent, lost his fortune and became i'm
hIr
his rescue, and a sufficient amount was
raised to pay all his debts, to pur-
chase a home and to have something
upon which to live. There were those
who criticised him severely for accept
ing a gift from admirin5 friends who
were rich. But he might have truth
fully said, as did Jefferson, that mot
cent Of this was wrung from the
taxpayers. 1t was pure and unso-
licited offering of love-" rendered on
account of his great services to his
country in war and in peace.
But these two were not the only
great Americans whose lives in ad-
vanced years were relieved Of bur-
dens of poverty by admiring friends.
It is known that Montgomery Blair ad-
vanced a large sum of money-it was
large in those days-for the purpose
of paying the obligations that hung
over the head of "Old Hickory" and
to save to him the Hermitage as a
home in his old age. Another man, A.
NJ. Lea. grandfather Of Senator Luke
Lea, also came to the help of the hero
of New Orleans in time Of trouble and
advanced him a handsome sum OF
money.
An interesting story Is told Of Hen
ry Clay. On account of having indors-
ed for friends he becamein debted for
about $4,000. He borrowed the mon
ey from the Northern Bank of Ken
lucky. AS his note fell due he renew
ed it time and time again, and was not
able to pay even the interest on the
loan, so that instead of reducing 1t his
Indebtedness grew larger. He was in
congress then; but the pay of a con-
gresham was only So per day, and
that only when congress was in ses-
sion. He became discouraged and was
humiliated, so that it became under
