THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., JULY 1, 1807. PRAISE FOR THE BAR A SERMON OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO YOUNG LAWYERS. R«>v. Pr. Talmncr Sn.ru If Ho Worn on Trial For IIU Lift* Be Would Prater » Jury of LAwyera to One of Clergymen. Washington, Juno 27. — Dr. Tal- trago’s son ion today has n sprcial in terest for lawyers, and all who ixpect to lawytrs, and all who are the friends of lawyers. His text is Titus iii, 13. “firing Zenns the lawyer." The profession of the law is hero in troduced, and within two days in the Capital City 803 youug men joined it, and at this season in various parts of the land other hundreds are taking their diplomas for that illustrious profession, aud is it not appropriate that I address such young men from a moral and n ii- gious standpoint, as upon them are now rolling the responsil.ilities of that e.ill- ingrepresented in the text by Senas the lawyer? We all admire the heroic and rigor ous side of Paul’s nature, as when lie stands coolly deliberate on the deck of the eorusliip while the jack tars of the Mediterranean are cowering in the cy clone; as when he stands undaunted amid the marbles of the palace before thick necked Nero, surrounded with his 12 cruel Motors; as wli3U we find him earning his livelihood with his own needle, sewing haircloth and preaching the gospel in the interstices; us when we find him able to take the 30 lashes, every stroke of which fetched the blood, yet continuing in his missionary work; as when we find him, regurriluw of the consequence to himself, delivering a temperance lecture to Felix, the govern ment inebriate. Put sometimes we catch a glimpse of the mild aud geuiel aide 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. Perhaps ho had formed the acquaintance of this lawyer in the courtroom. Perhaps sometimes, when ho wanted to ask some question in regard to Roman law, he went to this Zenas the lawyer. At any rate, he had a warm attachment for the mau, and he provides for his comfortable es cort and entertainment as he writes to Titus. ‘‘Bring Zenas the lawyer." This man of my text belonged to a profession in which are many ardent supporters of Christ and the gospel, among them filackstone, the great commentator on English law, and Wil- berforce, the emancipator, aud the lato Benjamin F. Butler, attorney general cf New York, aud the late Chnrlt s Cliauncey, the leader of the Philadel phia bar, and Chief Justices Marshall and Tenterdeu and Campbell ami Sir Thomas More, who died for the truth on the scaffold, saying to his aghast ex- eoutioner: ‘‘Pluck up courage, man, and do your duty. My neck is very wort. Be cartful, therefore, and do net strike awry. ’ * Trial of Ilj-sth’Sjs. Among the mightiest picas that • ver have Lteu made ly t- uguo cf barrister have been pleas in I t half of the Bible aud Christianity, ;;; when Daiml \Y b- ster steed in the sup:. u:e court at Wash ington pla.ding in the fan. v.-- Mirard will case, denouncing any attempt to educate the pc eplt ■ wit !:cr.r giving t! a in nt tlio same tifii e m ' ral ; entimen t Us “lew, ri’ .dd :i inti vr.lg :;r dii.-m :.f:'i in- fidelity;" as v, km .S.u. hi: 1 Ij.

I say these things to show you that there has been a prejudice going on down against that profession trom gen eration to generation. I account for it on the ground that they compel men to lay debts that they do not want to pay, Bid that they arraign criminals who Want to escape the consequences of their j crime, and as long as that is so, aud it always will bo so, just so long there will he classes of men who will affect j at any rate to despise the legal prefes- j sion. I know’ not how it is in other countries, but I have had long and wide acquaintance with men of that profes sion. I have found them in all my par ishes. I tarried in one of their offices for three years, where there came real i estate lawyers, insurance lawyers, crim- | | inal lawyers, marine lawyers, and 1 have yet to find a class of men more gen- l ial or more straightforward. Thero are j in that occupation, as in all our occu pations, men utterly obnoxious to God and man, hut if I were on trial for my j integrity or my life and I wanted even handed justice administered to me I would rather have my ease submitted to a jury of 12 lawyers than to u jury of 12 clergymen. The legal profession, I believe, has less violence of prejudice than is to be found in tho sacrod call- j iug. Earthly Resource!*. There is, however, no man who has more temptations or graver responsibili- J ties than the barrister, and he who at tempts to discharge the duties cf his j position with only earthly resources is making a very great mistake. Witness the scores of men who have in that pro- j fession made eternal shipwreck. Wit ness the men who, with the low of the land under their arm, have violated ev ery statute of the eternal God. Witness the men who have argued placidly be- ; fore earthly tribunals, who shall shiver in dismay before the Judge of quick aud dead. Witness Lord Thurlow announc ing bis loyalty to earthly government in the sentence, "If 1 forget my earthly sovereign, may God forget mo!" aud ' yet stooping to unaccountable meanness es. Witness Lord Coke, the learned aud tho reckless. Witness Sir George Mae- i Keuzie, the execrated of all Scotch Cov- , enanters, so that until this day, in Gray Friars’ churchyard, Edinburgh, the children whistle through the bars of the tomb, crying: PliH' !y Ifiu'ber.zi'*, of'-r.e out if you daur. I Lit: the on*iik and draw tho bar. No other profession more needs the grace of Gcw to deliver them in their temptations, to comfort them in their trial:;, to sustain them in the disehurg; of their duty. While I would have yt u bring the ne reliant to Christ, and while I would have yea bring the farmer to Christ, • iitid while I would have yen bring the um-hanic to Christ, I addres; 1 you nov. in the words of Paul to Titus, ‘‘Bring Zenas the lawyer.’’ By so much 1 as his drti< •; an d< Heat* and great, by ! so much decs h* need Christian’ stimu lus and safeguard. We all become cli ents. Ido not up pose there is a man f • years of apt who has been in activ!’ life who h": ne t h en afflicted with a lawsuit. Year turn*- is essjultcd, mid you nuo t hav legal protection. Yoi.r boundary line is '-•vad d, and the conr* direction. They want to know from you how they can escajic from solemn mar ital obligation. They cemo to yon want ing to know how they oi n fail advan tageously for themselves. They come to you wanting to know how they can make tho insurance company pay for a deslnyt'd house which they burned down with their own hands, or they come to you oa the simple errand of wanting to escape payment of thrii honest debts. Now, it is no easy thing lo advise st ttlomeut when by urging litigation you could strike u mine oi remuneration. It is not a very easy thing to dampen the ardor of an in flamed contestant when you know through a prolonged lawsuit you could get from him whatever you asked. It is no easy thing to attempt to discourage the suit for the breaking of a will in the surrogate’s court because you know tin testator was of sound mind aud body wheu he signed the document. It re quires no small heroism to do as I cnee heard an aiterney do in an cfLce in a western city. I overheard the conversation when ho said, “John, you can go on with this lawsuit, and I will see you through as well as I cun, but I want to tell y« u before you start that a lawsuit is equal to a fire." Under the tremendous temp tations that cciue upon the legal pro fession there are scores cf men who have gone down, and some of them from being the pride of the highest tribunal cf the state have become a disgrace tc the Tombs courtroom. Every attorney, in addition to the innate sense of right, wants the sustaining power of the old fashioned religion cf Jesus Christ. “Bring Zenas the lawyer.” Temptation. There are two or three forms of temp tation to which the legal profession is especially subject The first of all is skepticism. Controversy is the lifetime business of that occupation. Controver sy maybe incidental or accidental with us, but with yon it is perpetual. You get so used to pushing the sharp ques tion *‘Why?" aud making unaided rea- s<~n superior to the emotions that the religion of Jesus Christ, which is a simple matter of faith, and above hu man reason, although not contrary tc it, has but little chance with some of you. A brilliant orator wrote a bock, on the first page of which he announced this sentiment, “An honest God is the noblest work of man.” Skepticism is the mightiest temptation of the legal profession, and that man who can stand in that profession, resisting all soiieiia- tions to infidelity, aud can be as brave as George Briggs of Massachusetts, w ho stepped from the gubernatorial chair tc the missionary convention, to plead the cause of a dying race, then on his way home from the couventie n, on a cold duv. took off his warm clev.k and tore w must r fringed off*>!><ii: Yeu.r t: mu ;t 1 make y to feiio i .'■t-.d.!:: h it.

Yet, notwithstanding all the pleas Which that profession has made in be half of God aud the church and the gcspel and the rights of man, there has come down through the generations among many people an absurd and wicked prejudice against it. So long ago as in the time*of Oliver Cromwell it was decided that lawyers might not enter the parliament house ns members, and they were called “sons cf Zeruiah.” The learned Dr. Johnson wrote an epi taph for cue of them in these words: God work: wondf-rs row arK! Hero lies u lawyer, an honest man! Two hundred years ago a treatise was issued with the title, "Doomsday Approaching With Thunder and Light ning For Lawyers." A promim nt cler gyman of the last century wrote in re gard to that profession these words: “Ibere is a society of men among us bred up from their youth in the art of proving, according as they are paid, l.v words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black and black is white. For example: If my ne ighbor has a mind to my row, he hires a lawyer to prove that he ought to have my erw f”(>::i me. 1 mu-t ii're n:.other j:iv,-y< r to «’.t .« ml ny Light, itl . i.jg against all rr.i ■: lav that a i an sir old apeak fori .• Ilf.

Y’ou are to save your client re • gardlrss of the torment, tho suffering, the destruction of ail others. You are to know hut one man in the world— your client. Y’ou are to save him though you should bring your country into con fusion. At all hazards you must save your client.” Bo says Lord Brougham, ] but no right minded lawyer could adopt that sentiment. On the other extreme Cicero will come to you aud say, “You must never plead the cause of a bad man," forget- j ful of the fact that the greatest villain on e arth ought to have a fair trial and ; that an attorney cannot be judge and ad vocate at tin same time. It was grand when Lord Krskine sacrificed his attor ney generalship for the sake of defend- j ing Thomas Paine in his publication of I his book called “The Rights of Mau,” while at the same time he, the udvo- ] cate, abhorred Thomas Paine’s irreli- , ; ginus sentiments. Between these two op- 1 posite theories of what is right what shall the attorney doi God alone can ; direct him. To that chancery he must 1 be appellant, and he will get an answer in an hour. Blessed is that attorney bo- twer-jj whose office and the throne of • G* i there i- perpetual, reverential aud pruy< rful eoimiiRuication! That atvor-j ney will never make an irreparable ; mistake. True to tli" habits of your profession, you say, "Cite us some uu- I thority on the subject." Well, I quote to you the d( eision of the supreme court of heaven, “If any lack wisdom, let i ; him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, aud it sh.ii! L< given him." j fa hat a scene is the office of a bury attorney! iu :y.oition to the men who f dpme to you from right motives, Lad ii will come to you. They will offer i Jt^i u large fee for counsel iu the wrong • I a it over tho shoulders of a thinly clad r.i.'.-iiouary, saying, “Take that and wear it; it v. ill do you more good than it will me,” or, like Judge McL :;n, w ho can step firm the supreme tom t room of the United States ou to the anniversary platform of the Amorioan Snnday School union, its most powerful orator, deserves congratulation and en comium. O men cf the legal profusion, h i me I g of you to quit asking question.- in regard to religion and begin I h. v- irg! The mighty men rf yer.r j rc s- sicn, Sti ry and Kent and Mnnsfn id, I,.- came Christians, not through tln-i? h-ad.--, br.t through their heart-. “B.-> n ]*t ye I a ome as a little child ye sha’] l.i in w ise ent* r the kingdom < f God.’’ If you do not become a Ghristiau, O man of the legal profession, until yon cun reason this whole thing out in n pard to God and Christ and tin immor- liilirycf the soul, you will nev'-r ’m- o'cne a b’hristinn at all. Only L-clicv . “Bring Zenas the lav. j r." Snutlay Otii-.i-rv -:ea. Another mighty temptation f<r tii 1 gal profession is fca Tlio trial In s been go::. I") days. The evidence is all in. It b Saturday night. The judge’s gavel fall.- on the desk, and ho says, “Crier, ad journ the court until 10 o’clock Mon day morning." Ou Monday morning the counselor is to sum up the case. Thousands of dollars, yea, the reputa tion and life of his client, may depend upon the success cf his plea. How will he spend the intervening Sunday? There is not cue lawyer out of a hundred that ran withstand the temptation to break the Lord’s day under such ciieumstauces. And yet if he does he hurts his own soul. What, my brother, you cannot do before 12 o’clock Saturday night or after 12 o’clock Sunday night God does not want you to do at all. Besides that you want the 24 hours of Sabbath rest to give yon that electrical and magnetic force which will be worth more to you before the jnry than all the elaboration of your case ou the sacred day. My in timate and lamented friend the late Judge Ncilsou, in his interesting remi niscences of Rufus Choate, says that during the last case that gentleman tried iu New York the court adjourned from Friday until Monday ou account of the illness of Mr. Choate, but the chronicler says that on the intervening Sabbath he saw’ Mr. Choate iu the oi l “Brick church,” listening to the Rev. Dr. Gardiner k’priug. I do not know whether, on the fol lowing day, Rufus Choate won his cause or lost it, but I do know that his Sabbatic rest did not do him any barm. Every lawyer is entitled to one day’s rent or.t of seven. If he surrend' th that, he robs three—God, his own soul and his client. Lord Castlereugh and Sir Thomas Rcuilly were the 1< aders of tho bar in their day. They both died sui cides. SVtiberforce accounts lor their aberration of intellect ou tho ground that they were unintermitteut in their work, aud they never re.-d d on Sunday. “Poor fellow!" •said V*ilberforee iu re gard to Ca.‘tlereagh; “poor fellow, it Was nonot.o rvauce of the Sabbath!” Chief Justice Hale says, “ When Ido not properly keep th. Lord's day, all the ri st (i the week is unhappy and un successful in my worldly employment." I quote today **om the n.^iiwct .--tu.uie book in the nnivers?, ‘‘Remember tho Sabbath day to keep it holy." Tho legal gentleman wh- breaks that statute may seem for aw hue to be advantaged, but j in the long run tho men who observe this law of God will have larger re- , tuition, vaster influence, greater profes- ' sional success tln.u those men who bn ;;k the statute. Obst rvanco of the law of God pays not only spiritually ; end eternally, but it pays in hard dol lars or hank bilK Another powerful temptation of tho legal profession is - to artificial stimulus. ! No one except those who have addressed j audiences knows about tho nervous ox- ; huusticn that souk times comes after ward. The temptation to strong drink i approaches the legal profession at that | very point. Then a trial is coming ou. Through the ill ventilated courtroom i the barrister’s health has been depressed for days and for weeks. Ho wants to • rally his energy. He is tempted to re sort to artificial stimulus. It is either to get himself up or let himself down that this temptation comes upon him. The flower of the American bar, ruined in reputation and ruined in estate, said iu bis last moments: “This is tho end. I am dying on a borrowed bed, covered , with a borrowed sheet, in a house built j by public charity. Bury me under that tree iu the middle of the field, that I . may not be crowded; I always have I been crowded. ’ ’ The Great Future. Another powerful temptation of the legal profession is to allow the absorb ing duties of the prr,fes>.*ion to shut cut thoughts of the great future. You know | very well that you who have so ofteu i tried others will after awhilo be put on trial yourselves. Death will servo cu you a writ of ejectment, aud you will be put off these earthly premises. Ou j that day all the affairs of your life will j be presented iu a “bill of particulars.” No certiorari from a higher court, for this is the highest court. Tho day when Lord Exeter was tried for high treason; the day wheu the house of cenmons moved for the impeachment cf Lord Lovat; the days when Charles I and Queen Caroline were put upon trial; the day when Robert Emmet was ar raigned as an insurgent; the day when Dleuuerhasset was brought into the courtroom because he hau tried to over throw tho United States government, and all the other great trials of the world are nothing compared with the great trial in which you aud I shall ap pear, summoned before the Judge cf quick and dead. There will be no plead ing there “the statute cf limitations,” no “turning state’s evidence,” trying to get off ourselves while others Fuller; no “moving for a nontuit." The case will come ou inexorably, and we shall be tried. Yon, my brother, who have so eften been advocate for others, will then need an advocate for yourself. Have you selected him, the Lord Chan cellor of the Universe? If any man sin, we have an 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 (tied about tiie same time.

A great many proofs now more or loss familiar to mest people show quite clearly that tho decay of animal or veg etable matter is not a simple cln mical change, inevitable in the nature of things, but a violent interference with tho natural course on the part of hos tile organisms. The bacteria which produce decomposition are very minute plants, which grow, like mushrooms or molds, upon organic matter, and which reproduce their like with incredible ra pidity. Tyndall showed long ago that the spores of these plants exist in myriads in the air, floating everywhere around us; that they occupy all crannies aud empty places on the surface of the earth, and that they swarm in their millions iu all ponds and puddles. Au easy way of proving that these spores alone and the plant colonies which spring from them are the cause cf putrefaction may bo obtained by boiling beef tea iu a test tube, so as to kill the bacteria, and then, while the liquid is still steaming, closing up the mouth of the tube with a plug of cotton wool, which admits the air but strains out the germs of the pu trefactive organisms. Under these con ditions the beef tea will keep good for years, but if you remove the plug it *,& Is what gives He mi's Sarsaparilla iV gnat popu.a.i'.y, its constantly incr... -ing saiv -, .u: i enabks it to accompl'jb its wcndiriai and unequalled cure-.
