Pastor of Jefferson Park Presby terian Cnurcb, Clucuero 11" - Chicago, May 3. — The temptations of the legal profession as well as its highest opportunities are set side by side in vivid contrast in this discourse, which has an interest for all classes. The text is I Timothy i, 8, “The law is good if a man use it lawfully.” Paul had all the mental qualifications nf a great lawyer. When he stood be fore Felix and as his own advocate tore inio pieces the charge made by the prosecuting attorney, Tertullus; when he argued before King Agrippa until the king admitted ne was “almost per suaded;” when he pleaded upon Mars hill with the jury of Greek scholars until at last even that central seat of Athenian culture was_ shaken to its very foundation by his proclamation of the “unknown God,” we find the l.ighost development of forensic train ing and legal acumen. As one schooled in the law, Paul knew the mighty and majestic power of the law, both spirit ual and temporal. Therefore he lays down the broad proposition that law is good for the community and that it is needed not only for the vindication of the right, but for the punishment of wrongdoers, whether the laws that they break are human or divine. But. though the legal profession offers sucli wonderful opportunities to defend the weak and punish the bad, there are some cynics who profess to believe that an honest lawyer does not exist. Sir Hartley Williams, a celebrated Australian judge, once pessimistically commented upon the fact that there was a pious lawyer in ids circuit who used to regularly pray that he might get clients. “Imagine,” said the judge, “the insult to the Almighty contained in the request that God should stir up strife among the people, foment dis cord and promote litigation, just to serve the selfish purpose of this pious solicitor?” But that cynical comment of the learned judge might have been entirely wrong. That lawyer might be innocent of any desire to foment strife and only anxious to have the opportu nity of serving his fellow man and be able to redress the wrongs of some in jured person. The noble profession of the law is often unjustly maligned. Like other professions, it has in its ranks un worthy men who disgrace it, and there is no profession in which trickery and rascality reap so rich a harvest. But it lias also in its ranks noble, honest, sterling men, whose knowledge and talents are devoted to the cause of right and justice. I want to say to all young men who are entering that pro fession that if they set before them selves a lofty ideal and hold fast to Christian principle they may win suc cess in it, serving God faithfully and keeping their character unstained. Let me try 1o give you briefly my concep tion of the principles of a Christian lawyer. Tlio ChriMtiau Lawyer. He will never champion a cause that he knows to he dishonest. Why? Be cause he would he aiding one man to deprive another of Ids rights. Oh, the wrongs that are perpetrated by the rich and powerful! Oh, how many there are who suffer all their lives at the hands of unscrupulous foes! For years in the French Bastille was confined a state prisoner known as tbe “Man With the Iron Mask.” Hi* died in 1703. This prisoner was supposed by many writ ers to hiu’e been a twin brother of Louis XIV. He was confined in his living tomb with an iron mask over his face lest he should come forth and claim the French throne and thus cause a revolution. The iron mask concealed the face because the prison er was supposed to be facially an exact duplicate of the reigning king. If this story he true, it brands liouis XIV’. as one of (lie most stony hearted monsters who ever sat upon a throne. No mat ter what ills own rights may have been, to protect those rights he was not justified in practicing a lifetime in justice upon a brother. How many men are trying to deprive their brother mail of his rights! The lawyer who helps them in their nefarious attempt is a partaker with them in their crime. I am not here contending that it is wrong for the lawyer to defend a crim inal in court. Every man is entitled to a fair trial. Even the vvretch Czol- gosz had his rights before the law, and Justice required that those rights ho protected. A lawyer often does a he roic part in defending n criminal or in pleading that mercy be shown him, but there is no heroism—there is only shame—in aiding a client to cheat or defraud another. Yet there are a great many lawyers who atllrin that they have nothing to do with the honesty or dishonesty of n client. All that they must do is to pre sent the best side of a civil suit, and then the Judge or the Jury will deride whether a cause Is Just or unjust. If a drunkard by Ids own carelessness fulls off a moving electric car, they will bring suit against the street ear corporation for $10,000 and not have one qualm of conscience. If a distant relative by a technical flaw can break a will, they will help him do It and di vert the money of a rich man Into n channel where it was never intended by the testator to go. This was the way the estate of a famous lawyer statesman was legally stolen. Every one who read his will clearly under stood what the dead statesman wished to have done with his property. He wanted to have built a great public institution. Yet some distant relative with whom he never had any close afilik’ 4! on, by the aid of scheming law yers, broke that will. It was only be cause one of the new heirs was intrin sically honest that part of the estate was placed at the disposal of the trus tees who were appointed to carry out the scheme. AVIier** Lincoln Stood. There is an old saying giat "nothing is more deceptive than a column of fig ures. There is another old saying, “Nothing is more unjust than law.” Any lawyer who prostitutes his brain and energy to plead the dishonest civil suit of a client becomes a party to the corrupt purpose. The lawyer himself by that advocacy becomes a dishonest man. Abraham Lincoln won the ap pellation “Honest Abe.” How? He would never allow himself to get mix ed up in a dishonest suit. Many years ago a man went to his office in Spring- field and wanted him to he his attorney for a certain case. After Mr. Lincoln had studied all the facts he turned to thi nan and said: “My friend, by a technicality of the law you can win that case, but I will not argue it for you. You are dishonest in your at tempts to in that money. If I stood before a ji ry to plead for you, every word I utte 1 would seem to echo in my mind thi. sentence: ‘Abe, you are pleading for an untruth; Abe, you are a dishonest man!' ” John J. Crittenden, the great senator, had marvelous pow er with a jury. Every Kentuckian knew that S nator Crittenden would not under at y condition consciously argue for a dishonest cause. Many a college lad h is contracted a habit which has con aminated his whole fu ture by standing up in a literary soci ety to champion a wrong theme. There fore, my legal f lend, never under any condition become a party to a fraud by idvocating in a civil suit the dishonest cause of a corrupt client. The honest lav yer never uses false means to plead for a justifiable cause, lie never produces false witnesses to an alibi, no matter how much lie may believe in the innocence of the defend ant. He never beF >ves it honest to be dishonest or to tell a falsehood, no mat ter how good the cause may be for which that falsehood 1ms been told. The Lawyer’ll Many Temptation*. But, though this may he all true, the temptations before honest criminal lawyers are very great. Believing in the innocence of their clients, they know as no other class of men how many innocent victims have been sent to the penitentiary or the gallows through an unbreakable chain of false circumstantial evidence. In one of our large cities of the east a man was aroused one night by a noise. With lighted candle and cocked revolver, he descended the stairs and was shot dead. An ex-convict was arrested and charged with the crime. His lawyer believed him to he innocent. He did all in his power to save him. He was hanged. Some years after the execu tion a dying convict confessed to that crime and thus proved that an inno cent man had his life choked out by false circumstantial evidence. In the same way a few years ago a woman in the far west was murdered. An in nocent man, proved so by later devel opments, was found to have suffered for that crime. I once said to the warden of Sing Sing penitentiary. “Warden, do you believe there are any innocent men in this prison who have been sent here unjustly by circumstan tial evidence?” “Lots of them,” he an swered. “I believe there are lots of them.” “Now,” says the honest law yer, “I believe my client is innocent, and yet this false chain of circumstan tial evidence will convjct him unless I break it. Is it not right to fight fraud by fraud? Am I not justified in using any means to deliver this innocent man?” In such a crisis the temptation is overwhelming to present any evi dence available, even though it is known to he false. He argues himself into this position because he believes lie is justified iu doing a wrong to win a right. But, my legal friend, two wrongs never make a right. No lawyer in any capacity is called upon to He. A false hood is a falsehood, no matter how It is told. If you believe in Justice, your own hands must he clean when they touch hers, nor must you contaminate your own lips when you would woo her to protect the life of your client. If a lawyer Is willing to He for a good cause, the time will not be very far distant when he will be willing to tell a falsehood to win a had cause. The righteous lawyer tries to keep his client out of lit! ration if possible. That means he does for his client ex actly what the honest doctor would do for his patient. The family physician, coming to the bedside of an invalid, does not say, “How long can I keep this man sick, so I can make as much money out of him as possible?” He says: “How soon can I make this man well? The sooner the better. Better for me; better for the patient.” Nei ther does the honest lawyer try to force his client into litigation. He knows that often the best way to settle a legal difficulty is outside the court, in stead of inside. Some Illnatratlon*. Practical illustration: A man comes to his lawyer and says: “I have been unjustly treated, and I want $r>,000 damages. I want you to bring suit right away.” What does that honest lawyer do? He looks all over the de tails of the case. Then, If he is con scientious, he says to his client: “My friend, you have sufficient grounds for damages; but, as your lawyer, I am going to advise you ns I would my own son. Do not get mixed up In this case unless you must. The lawyers’ fees may In the end cost more than you would make. Then there Is no telling what a Jury may do. You might lose everything. I would compromise. I would take what I could get and let the rest go. It will he cheaper in the end. That is my advice.” This is the same kind of advice which John K. Porter, for many years the leader of the New York bar, once gave to my father. My father determined on one occasion to appeal to the courts for vindication, lie had conclusive evi dence to support his case. lie took this evidence to Mr. Porter’s office and read it to him. After reading It, John K. Porter, as a conscientious lawyer, turned and said: “Dr. Talinage, upon that evidence I can win the suit for you, hut I am going to tell you what I told Horace Greeley, who last week fame on the same kind of an errand and sat in the same chair on which you are now sitting. Go home and mind j your business. You have a work to do. Life is too short for you to spend any of that time fighting in a court of law unless your work Is menaced.” My fa ther went home. The suit was never brought. “But,” says some young lawyer, “that may he all right for a well established attorney like John K. Porter to do. He had all the business he could carry. He could afford in his position to turn down a Greeley, But that is not the way a young man can build up a prac tice. It is what he duos in the court, and not outside of it, that wins him fame." No, my friend, you are wrong. The public is not as stupid as you think. If that public once hears a whispering that you are trying to keep clients out of trouble instead of push ing them in. you will have all the cli ents you want. Study the history of Mayor Jones of Toledo, O.. who has just been re-elected for his fourth con secutive term. He is generally called "Golden Rule" Jones. I know nothing about Mr. Jones’ private life, nothing about his politics, hut this I do know— the people, the common people of that city, believe that Mr. Jones is their friend and is trying to help them as far as is able to do. Every newspaper in that city was against him. During the campaign they would not even print Ids name. The Republican and the Democratic organizations were against him. Each party had its separate can didate. Yet “Golden Rule” Jones went quietly ahead. At the public ballot boxes he received an overwhelming majority, his vote being 70 per cent of all the votes cast. Why? The people, the common people, believed he was trying to lighten their burdens instead of getting them into deeper trouble. What is true in reference to politics is true in the lawyer's office. One of the best recommendations a lawyer can have is that he always conscientiously and faithfully makes his clients’ inter ests his own. The Yonnu: Lawyer’* Daty. The high principled lawyer protects the weak as well as the strong. The young graduate from a legal school is likely to take any ease which comes in his way. It is not so much then a ques tion of money as of getting something to do. He will spend as much time over the case of a pet dog which has been poisoned in a back yard as he will twenty years later on a $100,000 suit. But after awhile that young man works his way up the legal ladder. His brain becomes keener, his experi ence greater. He stands in the front rank of his profession. What is the re sult? He ceases, as a rule, to deal with cases involving small fees. He is a railroad attorney or a rich man’s ad- voca te. My legal friend, now is your opportu nity for heroic self sacrifice. Do you know of a case in which a poor man is menaced with injustice? Do you know of a man who is charged with a crime of which he is innocent? The glory you win in championing his cause is better to you than a $1,000,000 fee. The great corporations and the wealthy men have reserved for their services the strongest legal brains of the coun try. I ask, who are going to look after the legal interests of the poor and the helpless? You know just as well as I that the critical time in the young man’s life is just after he has com mitted that sin which he did thought lessly and without realizing its hei nousness. You know that if he is once convicted and sent to the penitentiary and herded in with a lot of old crim inals he will become one of the black est of the black. Will you leave him to the care of one of those legal in competents who are found hanging about every court room, waiting like vultures to pounce upon the helpless and the slain? Or will you, in the front rank of the legal profession, give your time and services to save that young man? You know as well as I do that that little child who had her legs cut off by the cruel wheels of the electric car through the carelessness of the motonnan will get nothing unless a man of your brain plead her cause. You. with your legal ability, could win for her a verdict of $20,000 cash. Will you let that little child he sent to a cripples’ home and pass all of her life there in poverty because you, a suc cessful lawyer, ere not willing to plead her cause? For Humanity’* Caa*e. Shall the strong lawyers only look after the strong clients and not after the weak? No, no. That is not what they ought to do. Surely the lawyers should be just as self sacrificing In car ing for the helpless unfortunates as their brother professionals, the sur geons and the doctors. The poorest in our cities can have if necessary the services of the very best surgeon or oculist or aurist or lung specialist. A1 a man has to do Is to go to the hospital clinics, and the best medical and sur gical skill is at Us command free. Can It be that the lawyer Is not ready to sacrifice as much for humanity’s cause as the physician or thesurgeon? Besides that, my able legal friend, you know your success has brought you plenty of money. You know the reason you do not retire from practice is simply be cause you cannot bear to be Idle. Then why not give a part of your time to helping the weak and downtrodden? Why not be n good Samaritan in the profession In which you see only too often the bruised ar.d bleeding travel ers who have fallen among the thieves on the Jericho road and who have not one strong legal friend to come to their rescue? The noble lawyer’s greatest influence should be traced in the spiritual realm. It is necessary for him to plead the cause which will affect the individual temporal destiny. Is it not much more important for him to plead that cause which will affect another’s life not only for a time, hut for eternity? Ev ery great lawyer is a leader in th^ om- nmnity in which lie lives. If he wishes, he may become a lender in municipal politics and statecraft—a leader in all the reformatory movements. Shall he not he a leader before the throne of grace ? Some people are foolish enough to suppose that a lawyer demeans his office when lie champions the gospel, just as a minister nearly always de grades his spiritual office whei^he be comes embroiled in the bitternesses of local politics. When Sir Thomas More used to visit his old home on the Sab bath day, he could always be founfl in the Episcopalian chancel taking part in the service ns a lay reader. A state officer one day came to him and said; “Sir Thomas, do you not think you are casting a slur upon your official posi tion under the king? Ought the Eng lish chancellor to perforin the humble duties of a lay reader?” “Yes,” an swered the great statesman, “a chan cellor always serves his earthly king better when he is truly serving the King of kings.” The lawyer who hon ors Christ above all is the lawyer who will be the most faithful to his earthly clients. The noble Christian lawyer is most anxious to serve aright his associates In a spiritual and in a temporal sense. Why? He knows that some day all the acts of his life shall be passed upon by the greatest of all supreme courts, the great judgment seat of Christ. A lawyer is always more care ful of a case if he thinks that case is going to be appealed to a higher court. One misstatement in a brief or the lack of the sworn testimony of a wit ness may mean the reversal of the lower court’s decision. How much more, then, should the fact be ever present to him that he will one day have to stand at the bar of God. The true Christian lawyer is the man who is prayerfully careful of every word and deed and act of his life. All these acts are to he recorded in the Book of Life and read at the great “assize of heaven.” Will you, my legal friend, live and work with this one thought before your mind? Live with the idea that some day the Christ who once stood as a defendant before Pilate is the Christ, who as a judge will have Pilate as a defendant before him. Henipniher the Great Assize. Some young lawyers in the impul siveness of their youth do not stop to consider tins. One day n professor said to a wild college lad, “My hoy, what do you Intend to make out of life?” “Well,” answered the hoy, “I intend to spend four years at college.” “What then?” “Then I intend to enter the law school and work hard ami make my mind a great respository of legal lore.” “What then?” “Oh, then I shall throw myself, body, soul and mind, into my work. I shall force my self in the front ranks of the great lawyers of my time. I shall be known. I hope, as a man with eloquence and power. My fees will be large; my cir cle of friends greater.” “What then?” “Why, then I shall turn my attention to politics. I shall stand upon the ros trum. Perhaps I shall be able to plead in the United States senate or sit as chief justice upon the supreme court bench.” “What then?” “Then in my old age I shall retire from work. I shall have a country and a city home. I shall he known as a sage and live in quiet and ease.” “What then?” said the professor. “With the way you are living in sin shall your life never he brought into review and passed upon by God?” Then the young man hung his head, for he could say nothing. So today I force this truth upon every one here present. 1 will state not only what the noble Christian lawyer be lieves, but also what we are ail com pellod to believe. Every act, every deed, every hope and prayer and sin of our earthly existence must some day be passed iu review by the great as size. So live that, with Christ as your Advocate, you can win the verdict of everlasting life. Young men about to enter the legal profession. I congratulc+e you—my con gratulations because you are going to enter the profession of Judge John Mc Lean, the Christian; of Elder McDou- gal, the late leader of the Cincinnati bar, the Christian; of Benjamin Harri son, who used to pass bread and wine at the holy communion; of Judge Neil- son, the Christian, and Daniel Web ster, the Christian; of Joseph Story, the Christian, and of hosts of other lending advocates and judges whose faith in God was just ns strong as their belief that law means justice tempered with mercy and Justice to the strong and the weak alike. May you live as they lived. Do such work as they were able to accomplish. Die In their faith. Have the sins of your past life cleansed by the blood of Jesus, as theirs were wiped out.
