CATHOLIC INFORMATION
“I Quit Going To Church ..
ounr, ji useu iu go, unui illy
wife got laid up with T. B„ and
our little baby took convulsions
and died. Then I decided that, If
there is a God, He can’t be worth
bothering about.”
That is a pretty tough nut to
crack, we’ll admit, and we’ve
often wondered about it ourselves.
In fact, it is the greatest of
mysteries—that thg good God
allows all kinds of trouble to run
rampant in His world.
A mystery, you see, is some
thing which is away over our
heads. We hold two truths—one
in each hand, as it were—and
we can’t seem to hook them to
gether at all. So we rack our
brains and go on puzzling our
whole life long.
The trouble is that some poor
people try to solve the mystery
by throwing out one of the
truths. Our friend, in this case,
has thrown out God. But that’s
wrong, because we know there
is a God—there had to be* some
one to set this old world spin
ning, to wind up the clock so to
speak. Someone had to make the
first chicken, the first egg, or
the first germ cell, as you wish
| Yes, there is a God. We have
! to hold on to that fact. But
other people have tried to say
there is no such thing as trouble
or sin. “Disease is imaginary,”
they say, “Everything is good,
and there is no such thing as
trouble.” They are just as far off
base as the first set.
So we stand, holding God in
our right hand, sin and trouble
in our left. Both are real facts,
one as much as the other. How
they tie in, we don’t know—
and we probably won’t, this side
of the grave. All we can do is
to go on loving God and trust
ing in His goodness to make
everything come out all right
in the end—for if we turn against
Him, we are only worsening
matters, cut g off our own
nose, as they say. At the least,
we have nothing to lose by serv
ing Him and trusting in Him.
Keep praying and stand by
God, and He will stand by you.
We will be glad to help you
i with your religious problems.
Just drop us a note. P. O. Box
