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 less lawsuit an unpardoned sinner versus tho Lord Ood Almighty. Oh, what disas trous litigation!
