ood allow it a na tural question but why does ood al low any evil in peacetime or in war time in nations or in individuals to go on only because he cannot stop it without using force and to use force would be to take away the free will he has given us all through god is trying to persuade men to use their own freedom rightly we are stricken fathers and mo thers wives and sweethearts and fri ends

felt so certain of it as when i stood by my sons grave my boy full of zest rejoicing in life and hia promise unfolding all that growth which i loved to see in him god had given and fostered for the use he might make of him do not beheve that god has thrown it all away just when it was coming to fruit god wastes no spiritual possibilities in any of us he has a use for him and he won t let it be
