THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

A* Christian Bible Students—The Satisfactory 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 it is filled with sorrow and trouble, 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 children 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 a book entitled, “The Divine Plan of the Ages.” Every statement is backed by Scripture, and shows that while God does not sanction evil nE HAS ALLOWED SIN AND DEATH TO REIGN FOR THESE LONG SIX THOUSAND YEARS. This and many other subjects of deep interest to all of God’s! people are discussed fully and in language easy of comprehension. In English, German, Swedish, DanoNorwegian, Italian, French, Greek, Hungarian, Spanish, Polish, Hollandish. [Syriac and Turko-Armenian in preparation.] 355 pages, cloth bound, 35 cents postpaid.
