Philosophers have said that the existence of pain and wrong is hard to reconcile with the idea of a God of love. In fact, ever since men began to seek for truth this matter has been the burden of their thought.

This was the position of John Stuart Mill, - the Manichaean view, though Mr. Mill did not go so far as to personify evil. The Calvinistic view is really nearer to modern thought, when...

Suppose three men came together to college, ond distinguished by a loving heart, one with no strong inclinations and without principles, and one with a desire...
