THE ENIGMA OF EVIL.
“God made the universe for His own ends; and man can get knowledge of God. Moreover, if there be a purpose in the whole, that purpose shows itself in the finest qualities of Immunity. God is love. “Why, then, is there so much evil in God's process, which we call Nature? We cannot say Tho problem of evil baffles us. There are many partial answers. AYithout evil there could be no ‘spirits of just men made perfect.’ The Kingdom of Heaven would bo peopled by automata. Presumably God attaches supreme value to tree spirits who have struggled for righteousness. He wished men to make themselves worthy of eternal life. But the enigma of evil remains. Remember, however, that science, like faith, has its unsolved enigmas.”—Bishop BUrnes, in the “Daily Express.”
