But-sometimes
wb catch a glimpse of the mild and gental
side of Paul's nature. It seems bat tto hail
a friend who was a barrister by profession.
His name was Zenas, and he wanted'to-see
him. Perhaps he had formed the axMiunint-
• aneeol this lawyer in the courtroom. lPer-
haps sometimes, when he wanted to ask
■ some ijuestion in regard to Roman law. he
went to this Zenas the lawyer,, .lit any rate,
he had a warm attachment (for the man,
and he provides for his comfortable escort
and entertainment as he writes to Titus,
“Bring Zenas the lawyer.”
This man of my text belonged tom pro-
fession m which are many ardent suppor-
ters of Christ and the gospel, among them
Biackstone, lish the great commentator on Eng-
law, and Wilberforee, the emancipator,
and the late Benjamin F. Butler, attorney-
general Ohauncey, of New York, and the late Charles
the leader of the Philadelphia
bar, and Chief Campbell Justices Marshall add Ten-
terden and and Sir Thomas More,
who died for the truth on the scaffold, say-
ing to his aghast executioner: “Pluck up
courage, man, and do your duty. My neck
io nJt strike aw^.” ar “ ,aJ ’ iti>etetoie ' and
Among the mightiest pleas that ever
have been made by tongue of barrister
have been pleas in behalf .Of the Bible and
Christianity, as when Daniel Webster stood
in the Supreme Court at Washington plead-
ing in the famous Girard will case, de-
pie nouncing any attempt to educate the peo-
without giving them at the same time
moral sentiment as “low. ribald and vulgar
deism and infidelity;” as when Samuel L.
Southard, of New Jersev, the leader of the
forum in his day, stood on the platform at
Princeton college commencement advocat-
ing the literary excellency oi the Serin- lam"
tures’as when Edmund Hastings’, Burke in the
ous trial of Warren not only in
behalf of the English government, but in
behalf of elevated morals, closed his speech
in the midst of the most august assemblage
ever ing? gathered in Westminster hall by say
“I impeach the House Warren Hastings in the
name of of Commons whose
national character he has dishonored; I
impeach him in the name of .the people of
India, whose rights and liberties he has
eubverted; human I impeach him in the name of
nature, which he lias disgraced.
In the name of both sexes, and of every
rank and. of every station and of every
Bituation in the world 5 I impeach ^ Warren
Hastings”
that Yet,-notwithstanding lias all the pleas which
profession made in behalf of God
and the church and the gospel and the
rights of man, there has come down
through the generations among many peo¬
ple it. an So absurd long and wicked in the prejudice time of against Olivet
ago as
Cromwell it was decided thiit lawyers might
not enter the parliament honseas members,
and they were called “sozmi of Zeruiah.”
The learned Dr. Johnson wrote an epitaph
for one of them‘in these words:

by they have so confounded truth and false¬
hood that it will take twelve years to decide
whether the field left to mo by my ances¬
tors for six generations belongs to me.or to
.one 300 miles off.”
I say these things to show you that there'
has been a prejudice going on down against
that profession from generation to genera¬
tion. .1. account for it on the ground that
they compel men to pay debts that they do
cot want to pay, and that they arraign
criminals who want to escape the conse¬
quences of their crime, and as long as that
is so,,Hnd.it always will be so, just so long
there-.will.ho classes of men who will affect
at any :rate:to despise the legal profession.
1 know not how it is in other countries, but
I have had long and wide acquaintance
with men of that profession. Ihavofou.d
them to.ail my parishes. I tarried in one
of theor.offices for three years, where thoro
criminal came real estate lawyers, insurance lawyers,
have lawyers, marine lawyers, and I
yet to find a class of men more genial
or moreatraiightforward. There, are ln that
ccupation,atsin.nll our occupations, men
utterly obnoxious to God and man, but If 1
were on trial for my integrity or my life and
I wanted even handed justice administered
to me I would rather have my case submit¬
ted to a jury o-f twelve lawyers than to a
jury of twelve cleicgymen. The legal pro¬
fession, I believe., has less violence of preju¬
dice than is, to be £o,und in the sacred call-
ing.
There is, however, no man who has more
temptations or graver responsibilities than
the barrister, and he who attempts to dis-
charge the duties of his position witn only
earthly resources is making a very great
mistake. Witness the seores of men who
have in that profession made eternal ship.

law of the land under their arm, have vio-

No other profession more needs In th<
-.race of God to deliver them theli
temptations, to comfort them in theli
trials, to fustain them in the discharge
of their duty. While 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 address
yoit now in the words oi Paul to Titus,
‘Bring Zenas the lawyer.” By so much as
his duties nre delicate and great, by so
much does he need Christian, stimulus and
safeguard. We all become clients. I £lo

On the other extreme Cicero will come
;o you and say, “You must never plead the
muse of a bad man,” forgetful of the fact
bat the greatest villain on earth ought to
lave a fair trial and that an attorney can-
be judge and advocate at the same

lacrifled his attorney generalshio for the

O 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 Mansfield, 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 become .a Christian,
O man of tile legal profession, until you
can reason this whole thing oat in regard
to God and Christ and the immortality oi
the soul, you will never become a Christian
at all. Only believe. “Bring Zenas the

. breaking. The

I do not know whether, on the following
day, Rufus Choate won his cause or lost it.
but I do know that his Sabbatie rest did
not do him any harm. Every lawyer is en¬
titled to one day’s rest out of three—God, seven. If he
surrenders that, he robs his

Lord Ashburton and Mr Wallace were
leading barristers in their day. They before died
about the same time. A few months
their decease they happened to be lu the
iame hotel In a village, the one counsel
going to Devonshire, the other going to
London. They had both been seized tinon
by a disease which they knew would be fa-
tal, and they requested that they down be carried
into the same room and laid on sofas,
side by side, that they might talk over old
times and talk over the future. So they
were carried in, and, lying there on op-
posite sofas, they talked over their old
contests at the bar, and then the}
talked of the future world, upon which
they must soon enter. It was said to have
been a very affecting and solemn interview
between Mr - Waltace and Lord Ashburton.
My subject to-day puts you side by side
with those men in your profession who
have departed nk this life, some of tliein skep-
Meal a rebellious, some of them penitent,
childlike and Christian. Those were wan-
dering stars for whom is reserved the
blackness of darkness forever while these
others went up from the courtroom of earth
to the throne of eternal dominion. Through
Christ the advocate these got glorious
acquittal. In the other case it was a hope-
[ess lawsuit—an unpardoned sinner versus
the Lord God Almighty. Ob, what disas-
trous litigation! Behold, becomes! The
Judge, the Judge, the clouds of heaven,

LIVED WELL ON SIX CENT MEALS.
In Fifty-One Days Foul* Students Ex-

Oheap living and good living is what the
four students of the Y. M. C. A. Training
School in Springfield, Mass., who have
boarded themselves for the last eight
we eks, with the aid of one of Edward At-
klnson’s Aladdin ovens, have had. An av¬
erage eost per meal for each person of six
cents, an average week’s board of SI.28,
did not preclude their having wholesome
and appetizing fare.
How they lived can be judged by the
bills of fare. For breakfast they usua'ly and
had milk, cocoa, bread and butter
some cereal. Boasts, stews, soups, baked
beans or eggs constituted the chief arti¬
cles for dinner, and the cooking began di¬
rectly after breakfast. Dessert consisted
of some kind of pudding, with dates and
figs. For supper, bread and butter, cake
and some fruit sauce, with lemonade, made
up the bill of fare.
From April 22 to June 13 an account ot
everything purchased was kept in itemized
form. This demonstrated that the total
expense during that period was only

State Irrigation Commissioner Cochrane,

ground superintending the work. Four¬
teen “hopper dosers” are in use. Crude
petroleum is shipped by the railway free
and used in the work. One can gather
about a bushel of grasshoppers in road twenty like
minutes. They move across the

much damage. The Commissioners will

Home Life Among the Indians.
Mrs. Alice C. Fletcher contributes a
paper with this title to the Century.
Mrs. Fletcher says: On-e would hardly
suppose that there could be particular
rules as to the manner of sitting upon
the ground; but here, as in every other
part of Indian life, there is a rigid ob¬
servance of custom. Men may prop¬
erly sit upon their heels or cross-
legged, but no woman must may assume
these attitudes. She sit side-
wise, gathering her feet well under
her, and make a broad, smooth lap.
When working she may kneel or squat,
and when resting she, as well as the
men, may sit with legs extended; but
at all other times men and women
must observe the etiquette of posture
distinctive of sex. To rise without
touching the ground with the hand,
springing up lightly and easily to the
feet, is a bit of good breeding very
difficult to one not to the manner born.
Careful parents are particular to train
their children in these niceties of be¬
havior. Among the Winnebagos the
little girls are drilled in the proper
way of standing when under observa¬
tion on dress occasions. Their posi¬
tion of hands and feet is also the prop¬
er one for the women in certain reli¬
gious dances. While among the Sioux,
a mother with a good-sized family of
boys and girls propounded to me the
question whether white women did not
find their daughters more trouble than
their sons; sheNvas sure she did. “Look
at those girls,” said she; “I have their
clothes to make, their hair to braid and
to see that they learn how to behave.
Now, my boys are no trouble.” As I
glanced at the group of children, the
glossy braids of the girls falling over
their single Bmock, and the boys,
naked but for the breech-clout, their

Grant at tile Telephone.
It is told of General Grant that when
he arrived in San Francisco from his
famous trip around the world, during
the period of which the telephone was
perfected and brought into use, ho
blushed like a schoolboy and looked
foolish when a mutual friend arranged
a conversation by wire between the
great warrior and his wife, Mrs. Grant
being at the residence of the friend
while the General was at his place of
business, many blocks from the house.
General Grant looked as though he
believed he was being tricked and
that his wife must be near by hiding,
when he distinctly heard her voice
from the other end of the telephone
wire.
Horse Bit Off a Girl’s Ear.
Beauteous Mamie Morrison, of Santa
Fe, New Mexico, is minus au ear aud
in great pain as a result of a suddenly
vicious horse’s freak. While she was
patting the family buggy horse, the
animal made an attack upon her, bit¬
ing off the upper half of her ear. The
piece fell from the horse’s mouth as
Miss Morrison ran screaming into the
house. It was afterward found and
stitched into place, but inflammation
developed so rapidly that at the end
of six hours the stitches were cut and
the piece removed. The young woman
is the daughter of ex-United States
Marshall A. L. Morrison, who is now
in Washington seeking appointment as
Governor.—St. Louis Star. as'

The other day Manager YVardlow of

“--, will you he mine?”
It was delivered to the proper party
and soon she came tripping into the
office to wire her reply. It read:
“Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.”
Ten words, you see, and she paid
her quarter, aud then tripped out .of
the room with the Bweetest kind of ft
blush.—Evansville Courier.
