Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 147, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1917 — Yielding to Necessity. [ARTICLE]

Yielding to Necessity.

There is, as Clenthes pointed out, such a thing as a “noble yielding to necessity," which is accounted divine. A man must, of course, be convinced that what he yields to is in truth necessity. But when that is clear there should be no repining, and no fear of what “others may say.” Until it to clear there should be no yielding. The poet, who was sad because he could not paint a picture, and the painter who mourned because he could write a poem, were surely most unreasonable. They clearly knew nothing of the doctrine of diversity of gifts. The doctrine is not only true but in the highest degree, consoling and eheering.—Exchange. , ■
