If (N) is true, then every evil, and all evil together, is cancelled2 Now, it is true that if (N) is true then (P) is true of every actual evil (but it need not be true of every possible, or prospective, evil). This is so because, if God exists, then every actual evil is an evil which is allowed by God (whom Yandell assumes to be omnicompetent). But, according to (N), God allows no evil without a morally sufficient reason. Hence, if (N) is true then (P) is true of every actual evil. And no doubt Yandell intended (P) to be construed as applying to actual evils, and not to merely possible evils. So far, so good. But how does that show that if (N) is true then every actual evil is critically cancelled? Yandell provides no argument whatsoever for this claim.
