ZENAS THE LAWYER. | j J * * ~ " * * a jinu Tp:. ] KtV. UK. I ?!_; Virtue, fh unnm-. .... BUTE TO THE B*R. He Treats Profession of Law From a 2?oral and Keligicns Stardpolnt?duties of the Christian lawyer?Many Temptations. Dr. Talmage's sermon Sunday had a special interest for lawyers, and all who expect to be lawyers, and all who are ths friends of lawyers. His text was Titus i:i. 13. -Bring Zenas the lawyer." The profession of the law is here introduced, and within two day* in the Capital City 303 young men joined it, and at :V> season in various parts or tne lanu o-.a-v-r hundreds are taking their diplomas for that illustrious profession., and is it not appropriate that I address such youDg mo a from a moral and religious standpoint, as upon them are now rolling the responsibilities of that calling represented in :he text by Xeca? the lawyer. We all admire the heroic and rigorous side of Paul's nature, as when he stands coolly deliberate on tbe eeck of the cornship while the jack tars of the Mediterranean are cowering jin the cyclone: as when he stands undaunted amid the nvarbles of the palace before thick necked Nero, surround- j ed with his 12 cruel lictors: as when we find j him earning his livelihood with his own nee- j die, sewing haircloth and preaching the gos- j pel in the interstices: as when we find him! tn fAke the 39 lashes, every stroke off which, fetched the blood, yet continuing in his missionary work: as "when wc find him. regardless of the consequence to himself, delivering a temperance lecture to Felix, the government inebriate. Cut sometimes we catch a glimpse of the mild and genial side of "Paul's nature. It seems that he had a friend who was a barrister by profession. His name was Zenas, and he wanted to see him. Perhans he had formed the acquaint~ ~ " ance"cf this lawyer in the courtroom. Per haps sometimes ?rhcn he wanted to ask some question iii-regard to Roman law he -.vent to this Zen&s the":&wyer. At any rate he had a warm attachment f&r the man, and he provides for his comfortable escort and entertainment as he writes to Titus, "Bring Zecas the lawyer." This man of my test belonged to a profession in which are many ardent supporters of Christ and the gospel, among them Blackstone, the great commentator on English law, and Wilberforce, the emancipator, and the late Benjamin F. Butier, attorney general of New York, and the late Charles Chauncey, the leader of the Philadelphia bar, and Cheif Justices Marshall and I'eateruen ana > Campbell and Sir Thomas Moore, vrho died | for the truth on the scaffold, saving to his j aghast executioner: Pluck up courage, > man, and do your duty. My neck is very j short. Be careful, therefore, and do not? strike awry." Among the mightiest pleas that ever have I been made by tongue of barrister have been { pleas in behalf of the Bible and Christianity, as when Daniel Webster stood in the supreme I court at Washington uleadinc in the famous j Girard -will case, denouncing any attempt to educate the people without giving them at the dame time moral sentiments as "low, ribald and vulgar deism and infidelity;" as when Samuel-L. Southard of New Jersey, the leader of the forum in his day, stood on the platform at Princeton college commencement advocating the literary excellency of the Scriptures: as when Edmund Burke, in the famous trial of "Warren Hastings, not only in behalf of the English government, but ir. behalf of elevated morals, closed his speecn in the midst Of the most august assemblage ever gathered in Westminster hail DJ saying: "J. unpe&ca. t<;irreu iu j the name of the house of commons, who.^e j national character he has dishonered: I im-! peach him in the name of the people ef India, whose rights and liberties he has subverted; I impeach him in the name of human nature, which he has disgraced. In the name of both sexes, and of every rank, and of every station, and of every situation in the "world, I impeach Warren Hastings." let, notwithstanding all the pleas which j that profession has made in behalf of God, j and the church, and the gospel, and the j y^rrbra n? rncn hn.5 none do^Ti thrOU<?h I the generations among many people an ab-, surd and -wicked prejudice against it. So long ago as in the time of Oliver Cromwell that lawyers might not enter the parliament house as members, and they were called ' 'sons of Zeruirh." The learned Dr. John-j son wrote an epitaph for one of them in j these words: I God works wonders novr and then. i Here lies a lawyer, an honest man! Two hundred years ago a treatise -was is-i sued -with the title, "Doomsday Approaching j With. Thunder and Lightning For Lawyers/' j A prominent clergyman of the last century I wrote in regard to thai profession tnese j "words. "There is a society of men among j its bred up from their youth in the art of? proving, according as they are paid, by j words multiplied for the purpose that white j is black and black is vrhite. For example, if my neighbor has a mind to my cow, he j hires a lawjer to prove that h-j ought to j have my cow from me. I must hire another j lawyer to defend my right, it being against j ? all rules of law that a man should speak for i " * _ l - - i!- - T - 1 J "51 ! nimsen. in pieaumg usv uu uu;, uweiii upon the merits of the cause, but upon cir- [ cumstances foreign thereto. For instance, j they do net take the shortest method to j know what title my adversary has to my j cow, but whether the cow be red or black, j her horns long or short, or the like. After j that they adjourn the cause from time to! time and in 20 years they come to an issue. This society likewise ha3 a peculiar cant or | jargon of their own, in which all their laws a are written, and these they take especial 5 care to multiply, whereby th:y have so con-1 founded truth and falsehood that it will take j 12 years to decide whether the field left to me by my ancestors for sis generations be- i longs to me or to one 300 miles off." I say these things to show you that there : o rrrtirxr Ao fintrn lir-jtncr ! pvjwuivv 4^v-k .. *- v*^s ****/? . that profession frora generation to generation. I account for it on the ground that j they compel men io pay debts that they do i not pay, and that they arraign criminals j who want to escape the consequences of their j crime, and as long as that is so. and it al-1 ways will be so, just so long there will be j classes of men who "will affect at any rate to j despise the legal profession. I know not ] how it is in other countries, but I have had j long and wide acquaintance withmen of that profession?I have found them is ."11 rr.v parishes, I tarried in one of their offices for three years, where there came real estate lawyers, insurance lawyers, criminal law- j years, marine lawyers?and I have yet to j tind a class of men more genial or more! straightforward. There are in that occupation, as in all our occupations, men utterly obnoxious to God and man. But if I were on trial for my integrity or my life, and I wanted even handed justice administered to me, I would rather have my case submitted to a jury of 12 lawyers than to a jury of 1elergymen. The legal profession. I believe, has less violence of prejudice than is to be found in the sacred calling. temptations or graver responsibilities than the barrister, and he who attempts to discharge the duties of his position with only earthly resources is making a very great mistake. Witness the scores of men who have in that profession made eternal shipwreck. Witness the men who with the law or'the land under their arm. have violated every statute of the eternal God. Witness the men who have argued placidly before earthly tribunals, who shall shiver ;.u dismay before xue ouage 01 qu:cs ar.a (teaJ. n 'rne^s uor't Thurlovr, announcing bis loyalty to earthly government in the sentence, "If I forget unearthly sovereign, mar God forge: me." and yet stooping to unaccountable meannesses. Witness Lord Coke, the learned as i :ne reckless. Witness Sir George Mclven/.ie. the execrated of all Scotch Convenanters. so that until this day. in Gray Friars' churchyard, Edinburgh, ths childrou whistle through the bars of the tomb, crying. ! Bloody Mackenzie, conic out if you ,!v;;\ I Lift the sneck and draw the bar. No other profession more need? the crave of God to deliver them in their temptations, to comfort them in their trials, to sustain them in the discharge of their duty. V.'hil? I would have you bring the merchant to Christ, and while I would have you bring the farmer to Christ, and while I would have you bring the mechanic to Christ, i ? i- j| ires:; tou now in the worus of Paul to Titus, j "Iirir.ir Zen as the lawyer " IIv so much as j fl:s uuues are ueucue ?ui; j 3v ?iav.. . does he need Christian .stimulus and sale- : gu'tr'l. v,'e all become c.ients. I do not suppose there is a man oO rears of age who has been in active :ife why has not been afflicted with a lawsuit. Your name is assaulted, and you must have legal protection. Your boundary Hue is invaded, and the court- must re-establish it. Your patent is infringed upon, and you must make the offending manufacturer pay the penalty. Your treasures are r ken, and the thief must he apprehended. You want to make your will, and you-Jo no! want to follow the example of those who. for the .Take of saving -slO'J fro:;: an attorney. ir:ir*eril and keep the generation following lor 20 years quarreiiing a'^out the estate, until it is all exhausted. vou are struck at by an assassin. _ you n:u?t invoke for him the penitentiary. All classes of persons in course of time become clients, aud therefore they are all interested in the morality and the Christian integrity o!" the legal profession. "Bring Zen-'is the lawyer/' j Bat how is an attorney to decide as to J what are the principles by which he should j conduct himself in regard to his clients? On j oce extreme Lord Brouham will appear, say- j ing: "The innocence or guilt of your client is nothing to you Vou are to save your] client regardless of the torment, the suffering, | the destruction of all others. Vou are to know but one man in the world?your client, v-.. mil nh.-inlil i.T-inT i yu itic i'j ?? ?*. ^ j ... 0 , your country into confusion. At all hazards j you must save your client." Sosays Lord Kroughain. But no right minded lawyer ! could adopt that sentiment On the other I extreme Cicero will come to yen and say. "You must never plead the cause of a bad man.'' forgetful of the fact that the greatest j villain on earth ought to have a fair trial and that an attorney cannot be judge and advocate at the same time. It was grand when T "* ,v "? n*4AWA,. 1 - JjOIU -Ul'.-UIie sacriiivcu iju? auviavj ship for the sake of do fending Thomas l'aine in his publication of his book called "The Rights of Mac." -while at the sane time he. the advocate, abhorred. Thomas F&ine's irreligious sentiments. Between these two opposite theories of what is right, what shall the attorney do? God alone can dircct him. To that chancery he must be appellant, and he vr-ll get an answer in an hour. Blessed is that attorney between whose office and the throne of God there is perpetual, reverential and prajerful communication. That attorney will never make an irreparable mistake. True to the habits of your profession you say, -'Cue us some authority on the subject." Well, 1 quote to you the decision of 1 ~ ~ T, -'"".An i%1 { orj-rr lo sue supreme cvur. vi hvjkvu, wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to a'l men liberally and upbraideth not. and it shall be given him.'' What a seeue is the ofdee of a busy attorney: In addition to the n:en who come to you from right motives, had men Trill come to you. Tnej will offer you a large fee for counsel in the wrong direction. They want to know f?-oin you how they can escape from soiemn material obligation. They | come to you wanting to know how they can j fail advantageously for themselves, iney come to you wanting to know how they can j make the insurance company pay -or a I stroyed house which they burned down with j their own hands, or they come to you on the J simple errand of wanting to escape payment j o? their honest, debts. Now, it is no easy thing to advise settlement, when by urging litigation you could j i strike a ti^ne of remuneration. It is not a i very easy thing to dampen the ardor of an ] j innamed contestant, when you know j I through a prolonged lawsuit you could get j ! from nim whatever you asked. It is no j | easy thing to attempt to discourage the suit j ; for the breaking of a will in the surrogate's I 1 Vio/'ii'jp rmi irnnw fke testator was of! ! sound mind and bouy when he signed the ; I document. It requires no small heroism to j | do as i once heard an attorne}* do in an : ! office in a western city. I overheard the j ! conversation when he said, "John, you can ! go on with this lawsuit, and I will see you 1 | through as well as I can. but I want, to tell J ! you before you start that a lawsuit is equal i ; to a fire." Under the tremendous tetnpta- j j tions that come upon the legal profession i j there are scores of men who have gone down, and some of them from being the pride of tae uiguesc umuuu<u m ji?.? a disgrace to ihe Tombs courtroom. Every attorney, ia addition to *he innate sense of right, wants the sustaining power of the old fashioned religion or Jesus Christ. '-Bring Zenas the lawyer."' There are two or three forms of temptation to which the legal professian is especially subject. The first of all is skepticism. Controversy is the lifetime business of that j occupation. Controversy may be incidental with us, but with you it is perpetual. You get so used to pushing the sharp o nest ion "Why?" and making unaided reason supe-! rior to the emotions, that the religion of ! Jesus Christ, which is a simple matter of; \ faith and above human reason, although not i contrary to it, has but little chance with ! I some of you. A brilliant orator wrote a ! j book en the first page of which he announc- j ed this sentiment, "An honest God is the i noblest work of man!" Skepticism is the j mightiest temptation of the legal profession, ' and that man who can stand .in that profes! sion, resisting all solicitations to infidelity, ! and can be as brave as George Briggs of Massachusetts, who stepped from the gubernatorial chair to the missionary convention. to plead the cause of a dying race; then on his way home from the convention, on .1 cold day. took off his warm cloak and threw it over ihe shoulders of a thinly clad missionary, saying. '-Take that and wear it: it will do you more good than it will me," or, like Judge John .McLean, who can step from the supreme court room of the United States on to the anniversary platform of the American Sunday School union, its most powerful orator, deserve; congratulation and encomium. Oh. men of the legal profession, let me beg of you. to quit asking questions in regard to religion and begin believing.' The mighty men of your profession, Story and Kent and Mansneld, became Christians, not through their heads, but through their hearts. '-Except ye become as a little child, ye shall in no wise enter the kingdom of God." If you do not r-ecome a Christian. 0 man of the legal profession, until you can reason this whole thing oat in regard to God and Christ and the immortality of the soul, you wiil never become a Christian at all. j Only believe. "'Bring Zanr-z the lawyer." i Another mighty temptation for the legal j profession is Sabbath !>reakiag. The trial j has been going on for JO to 10 days. The j evididence is all in. It is Saturday night.) The judge's gavel falls on the desk, and he j says. "Crier, adjourn the court until 10 a o'clock Monday morning." On Monday moraine: the counselor is tc sum up the case. Thousands of dollars yea. the reputation and lire of his client may depend upon the success of bis pica, iiow will he spend the intervening Sunday'.' There is not one lawyer out of a hundred that can withstand the temptation to break the Lord's day under such circumstances, and yet if he does he hurts his own scut. What, my brother, you cannot do before 1- o'clock Saturday night", or after 12 o'clock Sunday night God j does not want you to do at ail. Besides j that, you want the 24 hours of Sabbath rest j to give you that electrical and magnetic force j which will r>e worth more to vou before the ! jury thin ail the elaboration of your case on j the sacred day. My intimate and lament- { eu friend, the late Jiigue >~eilson. in his in-{ 'cresting reminiscences of JKufus Choate, | that during the last case that gentleman j tried ir New York the court a dj oared from j i-'rid;:y until Monday on account of the ill-1 ness of Mr. Choate. Sut the chronicler I jav^that on the intervnieng Sabbathihe saw | Mr. Choate in the old Brick church listening j t:> UlV. Dr. Gardiner Sorincer. 1 do not know whether on the following day Ilufus Choate t won bis cause or lost it. but I Jo know that his j Sabbitic rest did not do him any harm. Lv- J cry lawyer is entitled to one day's rest out | ofseven. If be surrenders that, he robs J three?Oca. his own soul and his client. | L?rd Castlereagh and Sir Thomas Ro:uiliy j were the leaders of ths bar iu their day. j They both died suicides. Wiiberforce ac- j counts for their aberration of intellect on j the ground that they were uniaterinittent iu ! iticir w.jrk and they never rested on Sun-} day. ' Poor fellow:-' said Wiiberforce in j regard to Castlereagh: '-poor fellow, it was noao'-siTvanctf of the Sabbath." Chief Jus- J ace i hue says. "Wuen i do not properiy seep the Lord's '.lay. ali the rest of the week is unhappy :.:?i unsuccessful in ay vroriiiy employment." 1 today from the highest statute book in the universe, "Kemewber the Sab ? - - an ?? - ? - ? sasaBBSU^uKtSidSmjgmas bath <laj to kocj) it Loir." The legal gen-i ileman who breaks that statute may seens j i'or awhile to be advantage'.!, nut ia ihe long ! r;;n the men wr*-. observe this law of Go ! i will have larger retainers, vaster influence, j greater professional success than those men j who break the statute. Observance of the : law of God pavg not only spiritually and eternally, but it pajs in hard dollar: of bank bills. Another powerful temptation of ti;e legal profession is to artificial stimulus. So 0:2c except those who have addressed audiences knows about the nervous exhaustion that sometimes comes afterward. The temptation ! to strong drink approaches the legal profession at that very point. Then, a trial is coming on. Through the ill ventilated courtroom the barrister's health has been de : pressed for days and for weeks. He wants to railj liis enen-y. Ho is tempted to resort I to artificial stimulus. It is either'to cret himself up or let himself down that this temptation comes upon him. The tlower f the American bar, ruined in reputation and ruined in estate, said in his last moments: "This is the end. 1 am djincr on a borrowed bed, covered with a borrowed sheet, in a house built by public charity. JL'>ury me under that tree in the middle of the field, that I may not be crowded. 1 always have been crowded." Another powerful temptation of the lepra! profession is to allow the absorbing duties of the profession to shut out thoughts of the great future. Vou know very we'll '.hat you who have so often tried others will atier awaile be put 011 trial yourselves. Death will serve on you a writ of ejectment, and you will be put otf these earthly premises. * >n that day all the at'airs of your life will be presented in a bill of particulars." No j certiorari from a higher court, for this is the i j highest court. The day when Lord j'xeter ! | was tried for high treason; the day when the j j house of commons moved for the impeach- j ment of the Lord Lovat: the days when ! i Charles i tiuem Caroline were nut. ur>on l I trial; the day when Robert Emmet vra^ ar-* | raigned as an insurgent; the Jay when Bier.- j nerhasset wa^ brought into the courtroom j because he had tried to overthrow the Uni- j ted States government, and all the other great trials; of the world are nothing compared with the gre.-ii trial in which you and I shall appear, summoned before the Judge ! of quick and dead. There will he no uleadinc there '-the ~" i. o I statute of limitations," no ''turning state's evidence," trying to get oil ourselves while others sutler, no '-moving for a non suit." The case will come on inexorably, and we shall be tried. You, my brother, who have so often been advocate for others, will t hen need an advocate for yourself. Have you J selected him, the Lord Chancellor of the Universe'.' If any man sin, we have 'sr. advocate?Jesus Christ the righteous, it is uncertain when your case will be called on. Be ye also ready." Lord Ashburton and .Mr. Wallace were leading barristers in their day. They died about the same time. A few months before their decease they happened to be in the J same hotel in a village, the one counsel go-j inj w Devonshire, the other going to Lon- ] j don. They bad both been seiz-d upon by a j disease which they knew would be fatal, and j they requested that ihey be carried into the | same room and laid down on sofas side by j side that they might talk over old times anu j talk over the future. So the}' were carried j in. and lying there on opposite sofas they j talked over their old contests at the bar, and j then they talked of the future world, upon j which they must soon enter.
