The Young Lawyer.
AND now behold a lawyer rose
With tempting question vain,
And said: "Master, what must I do
Eternal life to gain?"
Jesus addressed His questioner
With manner frank and kind,
And by a parable He taught
His keen and doubting mind;
Told of the good Samaritan
Who succored a poor Jew;
Then, in conclusion, counseled him:
"Go thou and like wise do."
