1. Ms. L. M. Montgomery. Anne of the Island. Page 123 of my edition, sentences 5-8:

   Aunt Jamesina's introductory speach to the girls as they set up

2. Mr. Peter Kreeft & Mr. Ronald K. Tacelli. Handbook of Christian Apologetics Page 123 of my edition, sentences 5-8:

1. It may be claimed that any evil disproves an all-good God.
2. Or it may be claimed that the amount of evil, the superfluity and needlessness and pointlessness of much evil, disproves God.
3. Or it may be claimed that the unjust distribution of evil disproves God--not that bad things happen, or even that so many bad things happen, but that they happen to good people just as much as to bad people.

Here we are looking at part of the introduction to what will be an entire chapter devoted to the question fairly well summed up in those bullets.
