While the above facts should at
all times cause us to approach the
bar OF Justice with uncovered heads,
We preachers In our ministratlons
should know but one word and that
Is duty
We fan short OF our high call
! Ing If we anathematiho the hod car
rier and connivo nj the short com
Mugs of our rich and powerful par
Iaahonefs.
Being impelled by an imperative
sense of duty and with n heart as
free of malice as the head OF the
average street preacher or lecturer
OF brains | am constrained to repeat
and comment on remark once

The docket was being called and
number OF divorce eases were IN
evidence. Tho court remarked that
he did not much like n waiver OF
service In such eases. | am told by
lawyers that In the courts of Texas
tho waiver of the issuance and SER
vice of citation is admissible In civil
cnses without any determination,
Such being the case such remark III
very unfortunate for while We have
implicit confidence In the Integrity
aud impartiality OF those who pre-
side while our rights to property
and even life and liberty are being
tried, II court shows any ant0g-
onIsm 70 any particular statute or
cause OF action there are some so
suspicious M TO fear that uncon-
sclously the weakness OF humanity
might creep into the balances OF Jus
tIco. There nro others 80 depravod

pandorlng 10 the prejudice OF host
OF critics Of our courts In general
without knowing amy thing of the
particular circumstances attending
each transaction,
can remember when old Brulus
was held up before the youth OF our
/ country IA Just judge because h.
wns said TO have occupied tho bench
that condemned his own son TO
death lie was either sentimental
old fool or brute destitute of par
entail inslinct or he would have had
tho decency to resign and 30 his
whole length 10 snye bis offspsing'a
lirc. never believed, in fact, that
the old fellow was guilty Of such u
crime against nature,
However, q crap shooting coon
should stand ns high IN court AZ the
most honored citizen OF the country,
A court should be In its rulings AS
color blind AZ n mullnto'a pa
court or Jury should see that the
scales evenly balance and In case OF
doubt lean az much M possible TO
