Answer:
Explanation:
Five great intellectual professions, relating to daily nocessities of life, have hitherto existed-three exist necessarily, in every civilised nation The Soldier's profession is to defend it. The Pastor's to teach it. The Physician's to keep it in health The lawyer's to enforce justice in it. The Merchant's to provide for it And the duty of all these men is, on due occasion, to die for it. On due occasion," namely- The Soldier, rather than leave his post in battle The Physician, rather than leave his post in plague. The Pastor, rather than teach Falsehood. The lawyer, rather than countenance Injustice The Merchant-what is his "due occasion" of death? It is the main question for the merchant, as for all of us. For, truly, the man who does not know when to die, does not know how to live.
