If evil is real in the sense that it is eternal, when, where, and how shall it ever be overcome? And yet the Bible tells us to overcome evil with good. If so be that one is less under the dominion of evil now than one year or ten years ago, then in that proportion one has proven the non-eternity of evil. What one can do, all can do, if they learn how. If evil is unreal in the sense that it is not eternal, then he who is overcoming it is likewise proving its unreality. If it never was real can it be so now? and if it is not now can it ever be? If it was not, is not, and never shall be real, did it ever have a real beginning? If it never had a real beginning, what sort of a beginning had it?
If sickness is of divine origin God must be the author of it. Can man destroy that which God made? Is it not more reasonable to assume that man is the author of sickness (so far as it has any author), and that God can destroy it because His law is superior to any man-made law?
Divine Love is truly a consuming fire. It consumes all the dross of mortal hate, leaving, as a residue, only the gold contained in God's idea.
