He will not be extreme to mark what you do amiss, but will help you to mend it, if you desire to mend; setting you straight when you go wrong, and helping you up when you fall, if only your spirit is struggling after what is right. This all-good heavenly Father I preach to you, and I say to you, Trust HIM.
Nas, as I before said, is corruption or rot; thus, Glek-Nas may be construed, "the universal strife-rot." Did the first An, created by the All-Good, have the same number of toes as his descendants? In the form by which an An will be recognised by his friends in the future state of being, will he retain any toes at all, and, if so, will they be material toes or spiritual toes?"
Prayer may move a man like yourself; but it cannot move God." And I hearkened to the seeming reason, and gave up prayer. My heart said, "There is a personal, conscious, all-perfect God." My head, or my infidel philosophy said, "There cannot be such a God. A God all-powerful could prevent evil. A God all-good would prevent it. God cannot therefore be a conscious, personal, all-perfect being.
"Too bad, Pettie!" says Leonard, who was crowded in by her. "But you mustn't expect to have all the luck" which is about the height of Leonard's mental reach. "It was not luck; it was simple lack of faith," says Cora. "I put myself in tune with the Infinite and make my claim upon the all-good and then I waver. The loss of that dollar was a punishment to me."
There remains, then, this question of natural theology, how a sole Principle, all-good, all-wise and all-powerful, has been able to admit evil, and especially to permit sin, and how it could resolve to make the wicked often happy and the good unhappy? Now we have no need of revealed faith to know that there is such a sole Principle of all things, entirely good and wise.
Thus was a cloud, that looked black and threatened a great storm, blown gently over by a providential breath, which I could not but with a thankful mind acknowledge to the All-great, All-good, All- wise Disposer, in whose hand and at whose command the hearts of all men, even the greatest, are, and who turns their counsels, disappoints their purposes, and defeats their designs and contrivances as He pleases.
This all-good Spirit of life I preach to you; and I say to you, Trust HIM.
XIV. * For all those who have the right of life and death over the people are in fact tyrants; but they prefer being called by the title of king, which belongs to the all-good Jupiter. But when certain men, by favor of wealth, birth, or any other means, get possession of the entire government, it is a faction; but they choose to denominate themselves an aristocracy.
And, as the days go, and the winter wanes, it seems to me that I can plainly see, with no uncertain or doubtful eyes, Roger's love wane too. After all, why should I wonder? I may be sorry, for who ever saw gladly love the one all-good thing on this earth, most of whose good things are adulterated and dirt-smirched who ever saw it gladly slip away from them? But I cannot be surprised.
Britling Sees It Through, which is in some sense a prologue to God the Invisible King, we find an emphatic renunciation of the all-good and all-powerful God. "The theologians," says Mr. Britling, "have been extravagant about God. They have had silly, absolute ideas that he is all powerful. A complete answer to this question would be a complete solution of the riddle of existence.
