Dr. Talmage
THE IDEAL LAWYER.
Talks Roscoe Conkling.
About
THE RISE OF THE LAWYER IN| PUBLIC OPINION,
Bonesty and Usefulness of the Legal Men.
The last Friday night talk of the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., at the Tabernacle, was on ‘Roscoe Conkling and What I Know About Lawyers.”” He said :—
“The Bothnia of the Cunard Line had broken her shaft mid-scean, and came limping into Liverpool harbor many days after she was due. As Roscoe Conkling was aboard that ship, much anxiety had been felt. The Umbria, on which we sailed, started a week later, but caught up with the wounded steamer, and the two vessels went into harbor together. Meeting Mr. Conkling in the Northwestern Hotel, Liverpool, the next morning, I asked him if the accident and detention had not been to him some anxiety and worriment. He said: ‘Ob, no! I was sure that good fortune would bring us through all right!’ Many of us nave hoped and prayed that this human craft of legal skill and eloquence might weather the rough seas of physical suffering, and might come through, through with a broken shaft of energy, into convalescence and safety.. But our hopes have been in vain. About Roscoe Conkling as a politician, I have nothing to say. There is no need that I open that field of enraged controversy. About Roscoe Conkling as a lawyer there is only one opinion,
AKMED AT EVERY POINT.
Armed at every point, brilliant, severely logical if he chose, and uproarious with mirth if he thought that the most effective ; all the armories of invective and satire at his command, the only man who @ould afford to turn his back upon the chief justiceship of the supreme court of the United States, nothing could stop him except a blizzard that stopped everything, and the only reason he did not get that ‘ set aside,’ or ‘ overruled,’ or ‘dismissed,’ or ‘nonsuited,’ was because it was already decided by a court from which there was no appeal, What a beautiful and sublime thing to be set down to the credit of human nature that all politicai ani- mosities have been silenced by the story of his sick bed. Behold how a nation stood anxious at a great lawyer’s deathbed! Are you sufficiently acquainted with the former unjust prejudice eee that profession to realize the contrast between the way it was once and the way itis now? So long asin the time of Oliver Cromwell it was deciaed that lawyers might not enter the parliament house as members. The learned Dr. Johnson wrote an epitaph for one of them in these words :—
‘God works wonders now and then, ‘ Here lies a lawyer, an honest man.’
Two hundred years ago a treatise was issued with the title: ‘ Doomsday Approaching with Thunder and Lightning for Lawyers.’ A prominent clergymen of the last century wrote in regard to that profession these words: ‘ There is a society of men among us bred up from their youth in the art of proving accord- ing as they are paid, by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black, and black is white.
MY NEIGHBOR'S COW,
For example: If my neighbor has a mind to my cow, he hires a lawyer to prove that he ought to have my cow from me. I must hire another lawyer to defend my right, it being against all rules of law that a man should speak for himself. In pleading they do not dwell upon the merits of the cause, but upon circumstances foreign thereto. For instance, they do not take the shortest method to know what title my adversary has to my cow, but whether the cow be red or black, her horns long or short, or the like. After that they adjourn the cause from time to time and in 20 years they come to an issue. This society likewise has a peculiar cant or jargon of their own, in which all their laws are written, and these they take especial care to multiply, whereby they have so confounded truth and falsehood that it will take 12 years to decide whether the field left to me by my ancestors for six generations belongs to me, or to one 300 miles off.’
So there was an outrageons prejudice going on down against that prefession from genera- tion to generation. Il aceount for it on the single fact that they compel men to pay debts that they don’t want to pay, and that they arraign criminals who want to escape the consequence of their crimé; and as long as that is so, and it always will be so, just so long there will be classes of men who will affect, at any rate, to despise the legal profes- sion. I know not how it is in other countries but I have had long and wide acquaintance with men of that profession—I have found them in all my parishes—i tarried in one of their offices for three years, where there came real estate lawyers, insurance ‘lawyers, crimi- nal lawyers, marine lawyers, and I have yet to find a class of men more genial or more straightforward, There are in that eccupa- tion, as in all other occupations, men utterly obnoxious to God and man; and so it is in all our professions; but if I were on trial for my integrity or my life, and I wanted even-hand- ed justice administered to me, I would rather have my case submitted to a jury of 12 law. yers than a jury of 12 clergymen.
MIGHTIER SERVICE TO RELIGION.
I cannot forget the mighty service which the legal profeSsion has rendered the cause of religion. Among the mightiest pleas that ever have been made by tongue or , barrister, have been pleas in behalf of the Bible and

Hall by saying: ‘I impeach Warren Hast- ings: in the name of the House of Commons, whose national character he has dishonored ; I im h him in the name of the le of Satin whnes rights and liberties he rik. verted ; I im h him in the name of human nature, which he has disgraced; in the name ot both sexes, and of every rank, and of every station, and of every situation in the world I impeach Warren Hastings.’
Among the most ardent supporters of Christ and the gospel have been Blackstone, the great commentator on English law; and Wil- berforce, the emancipator; and the late Benj. F. Butler, Attorney-General of New York; and the late Charles Chauncey, the leader of the Philadelphia bar; and Chief Justice Marshall, and Tenterden, and Campbell, and Sir Thomas More, who died for the truth on the scaffold, saying to his aghast executioner: ‘Pluck up courage man, and do your duty; my neck is very short; be carefore, therefore, and do not strike awry.’
WE ALL NEED THEIR HELP.
There are times when we all need the hel of that profession. We all become clients.
do not suppose there is a man of 50 years of age, who has been inactive life, who has not been afflicted with a lawsuit. Your name is assaulted, and you must have legal pretec- tion. Your bourdary line is invaded, and the courts must re-establish it. Your patent is infringed upon, and you must make the offending manufacturer pay the penalty. Your treasures are taken, and the thief must be apprehended. You want to make your will, and you do not want to follow the ex- ample of those who, for the sake of savin $100 from an attorney, imperil $250,000,
keep the generation following for twenty years quarrelling about the estate, until it is all ex- hausted. You are struck at by an j and you must invoke for him the peni iery. All classes of persons in course of time be- come clients.
And we are interested in the welfare of the legal profession. Their perplexities are innu- merable. I have been behind the curtain and know of what I speak. I would bea lawyer if I were not aclergyman. A young man starts in the legal profession, and what shall be his theory regarding his clients? On one extreme Lord Brougham will appear, saying : ‘The innocence or guilt of your client is hee ing to vou. You are to save your client, re- gardiess of the torment, the suffering, the destruction ofall others. You are to know but one man in the world—your client. You are to save him though you should bring your country into confusion, At all haszards you musts ave you client.’ So says Lord Brough- am. But no right-minded lawyer could adopt that sentiment. On the otxer extreme, Cicero will come and say: ‘ You must never plead tiie cause of a bad man,’ forgetful of the fact that the greatest villan on e ought to have a fair trial, and that an attorney cannot be judge and advocate at the same time. It was grand when Lord Erskine sacrificed his attor- ney-generalship for the sake of defending Thomas Paine in his publication of his book called ‘The Rights of Man,’ while at the same time, he, the advocate, abkorred Thomas Paine’s religious sentiments.
WHAT SHALL THE ATTORNEY DO ?
Between these two theories of what is right, what shall the attorney do? God alone can direct him. To that chancery he must be appellant, and he will get an answer in an hour. Blessed is that attorney between whose office and the throne of God there is perpetual, reverential and prayerful communication. That attorney will never make an irreparable mistake. True tothe habits of your profes- sion, you say: ‘Cite us some authority on the subject.’ Well, I quote to you the decision of the supreme court of heaven: *1t any lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.’
What a scene is the office of a busy attor- ney ! In addition to the men who come to him from right motives, bad men will come to him, They will offer him a large fee for counsel in the wrong direction. They want to know from him how they can escape from solemn material obligation. They come to him want- ing to know how they can fail advantageously for ‘themselves. They come to him wanting to know how how they can make the insurance company pay for a de- stroyed house which they burned down with their own hands. Or they come to him on the simple errand of wanting to esq@ape pay- ment of their honest debts. Now, it is no easy thing to advise settlement, when by urging litigation he could strike a mine of remuneration. It is not a very easy thing to dampen the ardor of an inflamed contestant, when he knows through a prolonged lawsuit could get from him whatever he asked.
NO EASY THING,
It is no easy thing to attemp to discourage the suit for the breaking of a will in the surrogate’s court room when the attorney knows the testator was of sound mind and body whon he signed the docnment. It requiries no small hervism to do as I once heard an attorney do in an office in a Western city. I overheard the conversation when he said: ‘John, you can go on with this law- suit, and I will see you through as well as I can; but I want to tell you before you start the lawsuit is equal to a fire.” Under the tremendous temptations that come upon the legal profession there are scores of men who have gone down, and some of them from being the pride of the highest tribunal of the State have become a disgrace to the Tombs court room. Every attorney, in addition to the innate sense of right, wants the sustaining power of the old-fashioned religion of Jesus Christ.
My love to all the honorable lawyers of the United States to whom these words will surely come! Brothers in another profession, let us be faithful to Godand this generation! You who have so often been attorney for plaintiff or defendant, will with myself be put on trial. Death will serve on us a writ of ejectment, and we will be put out of these premises. On that day all the affairs of our life will be pre- sented in a ‘ bill of particulars.’

There will be no pleading there ‘ the statute of limitation.’ I select for you and for myself the mightiest lawyer of the universe. ‘If any man sin we have an advo- cate—Jesus Christ the righteous.’”
