LIGHT ON SOME SERIOUS
PROBLEMS OF LIFE
At Thursday evening's public meeting of the Manuk Lodge of the Theosophical Society, Mr. 1. W. Paul, President of the Lodge, continued his explanation of the valito of Theosophical studies by showing, how Theosophy throws light on nome of the serious pro- bleins of life"

Ho said: Ohe of the most difficult questions for people who think seriously in the probirn of good and evil. Why should there bo evil in the world? The One Existence is absolute, perfect and

Good and evil'are a pair of opposites. It is only possible for our finito minds to think of anything in contrast with its opposite: for instance we should not be able to conceive what light was if we did not know darkness. Good and evil then are Inter- dependent-one is the opposite of

Corollary of Evil, Pain, another of the world's problems, is a corollary of evil. It causes us to turn away from that which is evil and embrace the good. We must turn towards the good of our own free will, and the existence of evil and pain help us to do this. Indiscriminate gratification of desire (as in cases or of over indulgence in food alcohol) brings pain, and so the individual gradually learns what are the laws of nature, and that they are not to be lightly set
