grace of Ood to deliver them in their
temptations, Xp comfort them in their
trials, to sustain them in the discharge
i lueir amy. none 1 would nave yon
bring the merchant to Christ, and while
I would have you brinut the farmer to
Christ, and while 1 would have you
bring the mechanic, to Christ. I addraxa
you now In the words of Paul to Titus.
"Bring Zenas the lawyer." By so much as
his duties are delicate and great, by 'so
iiiueu uwi ut. uwu vnrisiiau stimulus ana
safeguard. We all become clients. J do
not suppose there is a man fifty years of
age who has been in active life who has
not been afflicted with a lawsuit. Your
name is assaulted, and you must have legal
protection. Your boundary line! is
niTnueu, anu tne courts must re-cs
tablish it. Your natent is in.
fringed upon, and you must make the
offending manufacturer rtav the nenaltr.
Your treasures are taken, and the thief
must be apprehended. You want to make
your will, and yon do not want to follow
the examnle ot those who, for the sake ot
saving iuu rrom an attorney. Imperil t250,
000 and keep the generation following tor
twenty years quarreling about the estate
until It Is all exhausted. You are struck at
bv an assassin, and yon must invoke for
nim tne penitentiary. All classes of per
sons In course ot time become clients, and
therefore thev are all interested In the mor
ality and Christian Integrity ot the legal
profession. "Bring Zenas the lawver."
But how Is an attorney to decidn'as'to
what are the principles by which be should
conduct lilmsolf In regard to his clients?
On one extreme Lord Brougham will aO'
pear, saying: "The inuoceuce or guilt of
yourciient is nothing to you. You are to
save your client regardless of the tormeat
the suffering, the destruction of all others
lou are to know but one man In the worl
your client. You are to save him though
you should bring your country Into confu
sion. At all har.ards you must save your
client." So says Lord Brougham, but no
right minded lawyer could adopt that sentiment.
On the other extreme Cicero will come
to you and suv, "You must never 11le.nl the
cause of a bod man," forgetful of the fnet
that the greatest villain on earth ought to
have a fair trial nnd that an attornov can
not be judge and advocate at the same
time. It was grand when Lord Krskine
snerlfled his attorney generalship for the
sake of defending Thomns Taine in his
publication of his book called "Tho Bights
of Mnn," while nt the snme time he. the
ndvoente, abhorred Thomas Paine's Irre
ligious sentiments. Between these! two
opposite theories of whnt is right what
shall the attorney do? (iod nlone enn
direct him. To thut chancer)' ho must be
nppeiinnt. nnu no will get an answer in nu
hour. Blessed Is that attorney between
whose oftlee and the throne of Ood there Is
perpetunl, reverential mid prayerful com
munication! That attorney will never
mime an irrepiiriime mistake. True to the
habits of your profession, you say, "Cite
us some authority on tho subject."' Well, I
quote to you the decision of the supreme
court 01 nenven, "it any lack wisdom, let
hlin nsk of Ood, who giveth to nil men lib
orally nnd upbruldoth not, nnd it shall bo
given mm."
Wlint 11 scene Is the oftleo of n busy nt
torney! In nilditlou to the mon whoeome
to you from right motives, bad men will
come to you. They will offer you a largo
ii-o lor counsel in tlio wrong direction.
They want to know from vou bow thev
can escape from solemn marital obligation".
They como to you wanting to know how
they enn fail advantageously for them
selves. They come to you wanting to know
how they can mnko the insurance com
pany pay for a destroyed house, which
they burned down with tlielr own hands,
or they come to vou on the slmnlo errand
of wauting to escape payment of tlielr
nonest ueuts. mow, it Is no easy thing
to advise settlement when by urging liti
gation you could strike n mine of remuner
ation. It Is not n very easy thing to
dampen the nrdor of nn Inliaineil contestant
when you know through a prolonged law
suit you could got from him whatever you
nsked. It Is no ensv thing to nttemut to
(llseourngo the suit for the breaking of n
will In the surrogate's court because you
know tho testator was of sound mind nnd
l)0(ly whon be signed the document. It re
quires no small heroism to dons I ouen
heard nn attorney do in nn ofllce lu
western eltv.
I overheard the conversation when he
said, "John, vou can go on with this law-
suit, nnd I will see you through ns well ns
1 can, nut 1 want to tell you before you start
that n lawsuit Is oqunl to n fire." Under
the tremendous temptations that eomeupon
tint legal profession there are scores of men
who nave gone down, nnd some of them
from being the pride of tho highest tribunal
of the Stnto hnvo become a tllsgrneo to the
Tombs courtroom. Every attorney, In ad
dition to the iiiuute sense of right, wants
the sustaining power of the old fashioned
religion of Jesus Christ. "Bring' Zenas the
lawyer."
There nre two or three forms of temptn
tlon to which the legul profession Is espe
cially subject. The (lrst of nil is skepticism.
Controversy Is the lifetime business of that
occupation. Controversy muv be Incidental
or accidental with us, but with you it is
perpetual. ou get ho used to pushing the
sharp question "Why?" nnd innklng uti
nlded renson superior to the emotions that
the religion of Jesus Christ, which is a sim
ple nintter of faith, nnd above human ren
son, although not contrary to It, hns but
little chance with some of vou. A brilliant
orator wrote a book, on the first page of
which he announced the sontlmeut, "An
honost Ood Is tho noblest work.
of man." Skepticism Is the might
iest temptation 01 tne icgnl profes
sion, and that man who can stand
In that profession, resisting nil solieltn
tions to infidelity, and enn be us brave as
Oeorge Briggs of Massachusetts, who
stepped from the gubernatorial chair to
the missionary convention, to plead the
cause 01 a. dying race, tlien ou tils way
home from the convention, on a cold day.
took off his warm cloak and throw it over
the shoulders of a thinly clnd missionary
saying, "Take that ami wear it; it will do
J 011 more good than it will me," or, like
udge McLean, who can step from the su
preme court room of the United 8tnto9 on
to the anniversary platform of the Ameri
can Hunduy-school union, its most power
ful orator, deserves congratulation and en
comium. O men of the legal profession, let me beg
ot you to quit asking questions iu regard
to religion and begin believing! The
mighty men of yeur profession, Ktory and
Kent and Mansfield, becameChristlnns, not
through their heads, but through their
hearts. "Except ye become as a littlo
child ye shall in no wise enter the kingdom
of Ood." It you do not become a Christian,
0 man of the legal profession, uutil you
can reason this whole thing out in regard
to Ood and Christ and the Immortality ot
tho soul, you will never become a Christian
at all. Only believe. "Bring Zenas tho
lawyer.
Auother mlghtv temntatlon for the leanl
Erofesslon Is Habbath breaking. The trial
as been going on for ten or fifteen days.
The evidence is all in. It is Saturday
night. The judge's gavel falls 011 the desk.
and he says, "Crier, adjourn the court until
iu o oioejc Monday morning." On Monday
morning tlie counselor Is to sum upthecase.
Thousands ot dollars, yea, the reputation
and life of his oliont, may depend upon the
suooess of bis plea. How will be spuud the
intervening Sunday? There is not one law
yer out ot a hundred that oan withstand the
temptation to break the Lord's day under
such ctroumstanoes. And yet it he does be
hurts his own soul. What, my brother, yon
eannot f before 12 o'olook Saturday night or
after 12 b clock Sunday night God does not
want you to ao at an. - nesiaea mat you
want the 14 hours of Sabbath rest to give
you that electrical and magnetic foroe
which will be worth more to you before
the jury ihan all tht elaboration of your
cws on inn saerra aay. My intimate and
lamented friend the late Judm KeiUnn i
his Interesting reminiscences of Kufus
unoate, says tnat during the last ease that
gentleman tried in New York the court
adjourned from Friday until Monday on
account of the illness of Mr. Choate, but
the chronicler says that on the intervening
Sabbath he saw Mr. Choate In the old
"Brick church," listening to the Rev. Dr.
Gardiner Spring.
I do not know whether, on the following
day, Rufus Choate won his cause or lost it,
but I do know that his Sabbatio rest did
not do him any harm. Every lawyer Is en
titled to one day's rest out ot seven. If he
surrenders that, he robs three Ood, his
own soul and his client. Lord Castle reagh
and Sir Thomas Romilly were the leaders
of the bar In their days They both died
suicides. Wilberforce accounts tor their
aberration of intellect on the ground that
they were unintermittent in their work, and
they never rested on Sunday. "Poor fol
lowl" said Wilberforce in regard to Cas
tlereagh; "poor fellow. It was mon
observance ot the Sabbath!" Chief
Justice Hale says: "When I do not
properly keep the Lord's day, all the
rest of the week Is unhappy and unsuccess
ful In my worldly employment." I quote
to-day from the highest statute book in the
universe, "Remember the Sabbath day to
keep It holy." The legal gentleman who
breaks that statute may seom (or a while
to be advantaged, but in the long run the
men who observe this law ot God will have
larger retainers, vaster Influence, greater
irofnsslonal success than those men who
ireak the statute. Observance ot the law
of God pays not only spiritually and
eternally, but It pays In hurd dollars or
bank bills.
Another powerful temptation of the legal
profession is to artificial stimulus. No one
except those who have addressed audiences
knows about the nervous exbnustlon that
sometimes conies afterward. The tern pta
tlon to strong drink approaches the legnl
profession at that very point. Then a trial
is coming on. Through the 111 ventilated
courtroom the barrister's health hns been
depressed for tlnys nnd for weeks. He
wants to rally his energy. He Is tempted to
resort to artltlclul stimulus. It Is either to
get himself up or let himself down that this
temptation comes upon him. The flower
of the American bnr, ruined In reputation
and ruined in estate, said in bi last mo
ments: "This Is the end. I nm dying 011 a
borrowed bed, covered with n borrowed
sheet. In a house built by public charity.
Bury mo under that tree'in the middle of
the field, thnt 1 may not be crowded; I al
ways have been crowded."
Another powerful temptntlon of the legal
profession Is to allow tho absorbing duties
of the profession to shut out thoughts of
the great future. You know very well thut
you who have so often tried others will after
nwlillo bo put on trial yourselves. Heath
will servo on you n writ of ejectment, nnd
you will bo put off these eartlilv promises.
On thut tiny all the affairs of your life will
le presented In a "bill of purtieulnrs." No
certiorari from n higher court, for this is
the highest court. The (lav when Lord Kx
eter was tried for high treason; tho day
when the house of commons moved for the
Impeachment of Lord Lovnt; the dnyswheu
Charles I. nnd Queen Caroline were put upon
trial; the tiny when Robert Kmniet was ar
raigned ns nn insurgent; the day when
llleunerlinsset was brought Into the court
room because he had tried to overthrow the
United States (iovcnime nt, and nil the other
grent trials of the world are nothing coin-
pared with the great trial In which yon nnd
I slinll appear, summoned before the Judge
of quick and dead. There will be no plead
lug there "the statute of limitations," no
"turning state's evidence." trying to get
off ourselves while others suiter; 110 "mov
ing for a nonsuit. The case will come on
Inexorably, and we shall be tried. You,
my brother, who hnvo so often been ndvo
ente for others, will then ueed an advocate
for yourself. Have vou selected Hlin. the
Lord Chancellor of the Universe? If any
man sin, we have 1111 advocate, Jesus Christ
the righteous. It is uncertain when your
case will be called on. "U ye also ready."
i.oni Asuimrton and .nr. Wallace were
lending barristers in their dnv. Thev died
about tho same time. A few months before
their deeenso they happened to bo in the
same hotel in a villnge, the one counsel
going to Devonshire, tho other going to
ijolidon. They had both been seized unoii
by a disease wiilch thev knew would be fa
tal, ond they requested that they be carried
Into the same room and laid down on sofas,
side by side, that they might talk over old
times nnd talk over the future. So they
were carried in, and, lying tnero on op
posite sofas, they talked over their old
contests lit the bar, ami thou they
talked or the future world, upon which
they must soon enter. It was said to have
been a very nlTocting and solemn Interview
between Sir. Wallace und Lord Ashlmrton.
My subject to-day puts you sblo by hide
with those men in your profession who
have departed this life, some of them sken-
ticnl nnd rebellious, some of them penitent,
childlike nud Christian. Those were wan
dering ftars fur whom Is reserved the
blackness of darkness forever, w hile theso
others went up from the courtroom of earth
to tho throneof eternal dominion. Through
Christ tho ndvoente these got glorious
acquittal. Iu the other ease It was a hope

Lesson Thought.
It la a sad thing and dangerous for
the nation when It has grown so strong
that it feels independent ot the divine
power that has brought It from
weakness to strength, and ungrateful
ly and presumptuously acts without
recognition of the kind providence
that has sustained It.
There Is no such thing as private citi
zenship. Kvery citizen sustains im
portant relntions to his country and to
his fellow citizens, and consecrated pa
triotism will secure faithful fulfillment
of these duties.
Selections.
Our debt .to our country needs to be
linked with the thought of our duty
to t!od. True patriotism must ret on
a religious basis; political problems
must be solved by Christian principles.
Christianity must leaven all our na
tional affairs, or national corruption
will leaven the churt h.
lie serves his country best
Who lives pure lite, nnd doeth righte
ous tleed.
And walks utmlght paths, however
others struy;
And leaves bis sons ns uttermost be
quest A stainless record which nil men may
rend.
Citizenship Involves privileges nnd
tlutictt. Wo enjoy the privileges, and
we are transgressors of tllvlne law,
nnd nre moral cownrds. If imt worse.
If we neglect our responsibilities and
