The Great "Why?"
By SIR Oliver Lodge

LONDON, Nov THE problem
Of evil has exercised the mind OF
philosophers and poets and think
ers from time immemorial II
there IS a God. why is evil permit
ted? that is one question; and why
does misfortune fall upon the good
as well as upon the wicked? that is
another The questions can be diff
ferently formulated:
Are goodness and happiness nee
essarily associated. or ought they
70 be? That is the essence of the
second question.
And is the good either constantly
or ultimately dominant over evil.
and why is it's dominion so hidden?
That is part of the essence of the
first.
No one can suppose that the an
swers 10 such questions are easy,
and few imagine that we can an
swer them with completeness and
absolute certainty in the light oC
merely human knowledge. Hence
arise various grades of optimism
and pessimism: and even the opti-
mist who believes that good will
ultimately prevail is puzzled from
time 70 time at special instances of
pain and sorrow and loss which
seem sometimes to fall upon an in
dividual or a nation as merely hurt

told that the fittest will survive. but
in the inhuman mechanical travesty
of modern war it seems rather the
fittest who are most likely TO sue
cumb. Evil has been rampant on
the earth, and its forces seem IL
oensed to the utmost.
Jobs Comfort
Why is scientific savagery per-
mitted? The sword was in old
time regarded as an instrument of
Divine vengeance; even apart from
the sword, plague, pestilence and
famine were spoken OF as Gods
agents; and in the catastrophe of
shipwreck, earthquake and volcano
we were hidden TO hear a warning
voice. Peace confers no immunity
from pain and disease and temporal
loss The tower Of Sloan falls
alike on saint and sinner. The sun
shine exercises no discrimination
between the just and the unjust. All
these things have been a perennial
puzzle TO man.
The great and ancient poet the
author Of the Book of Job tackled
these questions, or some of them,
I'm a famous manner, not completely
answering them but setting them
forth as the theme of a dramatic

dialogue or discussion enriched with
a literary form which has aroused
the admiration as we'll as the re-
spectful criticism Of thousands Of
scholars. The author OF that book

tic view that there is a real conflict
between good and evil powers, and

He suggests clearly and explicitly
that it is for humanity to decide
whether 1t shall succumb TO the evil
and be overwhelmed, or whether
through the darkest period of trial
it can retain its faith mistaken and
can brave 10 the uttermost all that
the evil power may accomplish.
The Eternal Conflict.
Many attempts have been made
TO escape from the Manichaen posi-
ton and 10 avoid the postulation Of
two equal or nearly equal powers in
conflict with each other, fighting
especially for the elevation or deg
radiation of the soul of man and for
the healthy or diseased develop
ment of all creation.
Eliminating any question OF that
manifest reality, human sin, and
concentrating only on what in the
abstract is called evil in an other
wise beneficient creation-such as
tOrmenting insects, loathsome dis
eases, earthquake and tempest.
plague, pestilence, and famine-it Is
easy to point out that such evils are
relative, that they are not bad I'm

lightning is bad in itself. These

In some such spirit as this many

And yet, Why should things
