THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW.
As Christian Bible Students-The Sat
isfactory Proof of "Why God Per-
s,,s&e Exit


mits Evil" ri
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 it is filled with sorrow and trou-
BILE, sickness and pain and every trial
we could enumerate,. and we cannot
help wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS
IT. We realize that He is almighty
and that He could prevent it if He
wished We read in His Word that
He is more willing to do for His chill
dren than are earthly parents for
theirs, and we know how much that
means yet oftentimes, it seems that
those who try to do and live right have
the most trouble This question is
made very clear in book entitled,
"The Divine Plan of the Ages" Every
statement is backed by Scripture, and
shows that while God does not sane
ton evil HE HAS ALLOWED SIN
AND DEATH TO REIGN FOR THESE
LONG SIX THOUSAND YEARS. This
and many other subjects of deep inter-
est to all of Gods people are discussed
fully and in language easy of ccmpre-
hension. ~.
