I must hire another lawyer to defend mv right, it being against all rules of law that & man should speak for hime self. In pleading they do not dwell upon the merits of the eause, but upon circumstances foreign thereto. For in- stance, they do not take the shortest method to know what title my adversa- ry has to my cow, but whether the cow be red or black, her horns long or short, or the like. After that they ad. journ the cause from time to time, and in 90 years they come to an issue. This sodlety likewise has a pocullar cant or jargon of their own, in which they take especial care to multiply, whereby they have so confounded truth and false- hood that it will take 12 years to de- cide whether the field left to me by my a8 honest treatise Bo wnsday profession, these mre six y Ono SiN tors for generation belongs miles of I nay theso things to show you that has been a prejudice that profession, Oo generation i ground that thes tas that they de tt against oy arral ape the and as | ou could strike » { » It isnota dampen the TEI'Y cay casey Ra ry aned dammed ardor of an ir contestant, when you know tl rough a prolonged get from ; iRwesnit you con im whatever vou asked it requires no small heroism t« i nee in 8 western ity | conversation, hen he sald obit, with this lawsult, and | you through as well as 1 can; but I want to tell you before you start that a lawsuit is equal toa fire" Un- der the tremendous temptations that come upon the legal profession there are scores of man who have gone down, and some of them from being the pride of the highest tribunal of the state, have become a disgrace to the Tombs court room. Every attorney, In addi tion to the innate sense of right, wants the sustaining power of the old-fash- loned religion of Jesus Christ. “Bring Zenas the lawyer.” There are two or three forms of temptation to which the legal profes sion is especially subject. The first of all is skepticlam. Controversy is the life-time business of that occupation, Controversy may be Incidental with us; but with you it is perpetual. You get so used to pushing the sharp question “Why?” and making unaided reason superior to the emotions, that the re- ligion of Jesus Christ, which is a simple matter of faith, and above human reason, although not contrary to it, has but little chance with some of you. A brilliant erator wrote a book, on the first page of which he annonnced this sentiment: “An honest God is the noblest work of man!" Skepticism is the mightiest tempta- tion of the legal profession, and that man who can stand lo thet profession, resisting all solicitations to infidelity, and ean be as brave as George Briggs, 4d an attorney do in an hen fi verheard the La | you can go on will see | | i | i nuneras | thing | Massachusetts, wh of the gubernatorial ehal $ ary convention, to plead t dying race; then on his wi Le convent solf Have a Lord Chancellor of man sin, Christ the It is uncertain when your nivers If any we have right case will be ealled on ‘Be ve also ready Lord Ash and Mr : were leading barristers in Thes about the same nths before thelr pened to be in the dvocate Jesus COUR urton Wallace their day A few decease they died 41] hap same hotel in a vil ing to Devon shire, the other going to London.
