Why the Union League Club Re-
jected Seligman.
NEW YORK, April 16.-The Herald
prints the following: If all the tales
growing out of the black-balling of
young Theodore SeIigman by the Union
League club are true, then there is lot
of the younger members of that Repub-
lcan brotherhood who are not chips off
the old blocks. A new phase of the
case has been made public, and by
club man, too.
ut was" said the club man, ''a Ques-
ton of race and religion. 1t was the
outgrOwth. though. of a movement
which has been on foot in the club, and
has been gaining force, too, for some
time. Everybody knows that the Union
League club was founded and has main
tanned standing as a Republican Or
ganiZation. The Republican party has
been drawing on it for enthusiasm,
brains and money. The truth of it all
is that the Younger element in the club,
which rejected Seligman, has notion
of turning the American eagle out OF
the big brick club house, and the time
honored constitution altogether, and
making social affair of it. CheriShing
that hope. they made bitter fight
against Mr.. SeIigman. They did not
want to establish or allow to be eStab-
lished the precedent of having Hebrews
| as members, because by and by, II 1t
| gets to be so :ial club instead OF sub
Stantial association of men who have
| built up fortunes. and come i'll handy to
the party in campaign years, they think
| it won't do to have Hebrews on the
roster. That's the whole story"

and by all who suffer much. Its kind
is expressed in all languages, in all
ages. The ancient singer declared 1T In
the words, when my soul Is over
whelmed with grief, and the enemy
comes in like q flood, lead me to the
rock that IS higher than L." 1t was this
sentiment that Whittier felt when he
wrote: "And now my spirit signs Tor
peace and longs for light whereby TO
see, and like weary child would come,
o Father. unto Thee"
1t was not by argument that this girl
came to faith. 1t was by the leading OF
that gentle influence of the Spirit that
comes like the wind, we know not
whence, that brOadens life so as to make
us generous to those who disagree with
us, that gives us strong attachment TO
the pure, the kind, the honorable,
whether they be skeptic or believer--that
makes nobility of character the only
test we ask or offer. With such Senti-
ment, and with this particular case in
mind, let me close with the words OF Ad-
elaide Proctor:
II do not ask, o Lord, that life may be
pleasant road;
l do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me
Aught of Its load.
''For one thing only. Lord. dear Lord, I
plead:
Lead me Alright
Though strength should falter and though
heart should bleed
Through peace to light.
81 do not ask my cross 10 understand.
My way 10 see:
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand
And follow Thee
Joy is like restless day
But peace divine like quiet night
