NATION All SERMONS Based on the Twenty-third Chapter of St. Matthew. Reported for the Raleigh Register. "The Scribes and Pharisees sit in Mo ses tent," " So said our Lord, preparatory to the announcement of a series of the most terrible calamities and judgments which were soon come uPn the Jewish nation. At the time Christ came in the fulfilment of the prophecy and to inaugurate and establish a new order of things, the Jewish government and church were one, the civil and th tical were combined, making an ecclesiastico-civil government, lne Scribes, who, were formerly the Secretaries of State and of I ' War, were at that time "the Kabbis or doctors, who were assessors or judicial assistants in the Sanhedrim and interpre ters of the law in tho and schools." The' Sanhedrim was constituted of the Scribes and Pharisees and the elders or representatives' of the people Moses was the great law-giver and Judge in theocratic times, lne law as promulgated by him IPArtf i I . A 1 dumumy ana tne command of God. Leaving out its ceremonial features", its pre cepts of morality, of righteous ness, were made binding for all . time to come made binding upon the nation and upon the administration of the national government in all its civil and ecclesiastical fatur ti, code furnished by Moses con tained laws for the good of the nation, for the benefit of the race. It provided laws adapted to good government, to secure right and justice, both civil and criminal. He appointed the ju dicial methods and tribunals for the enforcement rf the execution of their penalties, for the punishment of the guiltv for the protection of the inno' cent, the maintainance of jus : tice, the upholding of order and ndelitv m the 'fifno oi O.n VTncr hnnnoTr .-. ,1 - i . a & r uu equity m an ; affairs between man and man. When our Lord appeared in Ju . dea, invested with authority as the great High Priest of all, he found that the Scribes and Phar isees had? thrust themselves into Moses' seat. Thevwra 0,1W ers and claiming, as the alle- gation implies, the functions of Moses as law giver and jude xio.w,weu they deserved the claim they set up, immediately follows in that wonderful cata- w. uiiouccus pomiea out by our Lord. Instead of enforc es me iaw, tney perverted and violated it. Instead of minis tering relief to the oppressed, tiiey laid burdens on men's shoulders which they would not touch themselves. Instead of preserving and fostering hon esty and purity in individuals and in the State th the fountains of justice and judgment. Instead of official fidelity, and adherence to the ' Mosaic constitution and laws they resorted to every artifice to misinterpret and misapply . iucui- -lucj lovea tae upper most seats at feasts and in the synagogues and to be called of men Rabbi, Rabbi. The recital of this catalogue shows that they were morally debased and polluted rulers corrupt and vena 1 nffl Pi'nic TOv. ' were filled with extortion and excess, and together with the banhednm, of which they1 were the chief constituents, consti tuted a bureau of national and public corruption. Indeed, their administration of public affairs was nothing better than open " rb.eiT and the protection of official thieves. It vn rk oil intents and purposes a repudia tion of the code as laid down bv Moses, a flat denial of the su preme authority which ordered that code. Tt q substitution of themselves and meir traditions for the constitu tion and laws of Moses. " We shall see, niy friends, in the series of sermons which I propose, how our Lord followed up the record of the Scribes and Pharisees, and the terrible cat alogue of allegations he prefer red against them. We shall see how they ignored every sa cred obligation and prostituted the mostsacted rites in order to minister to their rwn 'Ao-nfwit and maintain their national power and authority. We shall COO 1"-VTTT n JJ.'. . uv, uy ciuumg sm to sin, and heaping up iniquity, they made the fulfillment of our .Lora s maledictions against them more certain. We shall see how Christ stripped from them their mask of hypocrisy and exposed their moral deform ity, and, the terrible conse quences they entailed, not only upon themselves, but upon the whole nation of which they were the representatives. And we i shall see the alarming similarity w . me ui-i iues aiiu jriiari sees and our own national rulers and officials that there was not a crime alleged to them but what h,as a p'arallel in our own governmental officials. We shall not fail to see in our na tional rulers a horrible amount or omciai corruption, the per version of law, both constitu tional and statutorv th noir as well as legal immunity to the thieves who swarm about our national capital, and the conse quences likelv tn from if this state of affairs is continued mu';h longer. Remember, my friends, that uod deals with nations as with individuals. History proves the truth of this averment, and shows also that th als in high places who by their own personal guilt and contact xiavt; communicated the virus of national sin, have oeen vis ited with signal judgments be fore the general national calam ities come. See, mv friends, how God takes eognizance of national crime.

He states also in the aiiie spirit ot glontication that he paid during the first eighteen months of the present adminis tration nearly $200,000,000 upon the unmatured obligations of gu v eriiment. In spite of these and other ex traordinary riishi money market has been most of tuc time tignt. And Congress has durinsr the nast siV passed appropriations with a recklessness unparalelled hith erto, to the end that there may be no surplus hereafter either to retain money from the chan nels of business or to make the rreasury an ally of Wall street.

That only honest and reliable medicines should be placed upon the market It can not, therefore, be stated too emphatically, nor repeated too often, that all who are in need of a genuine Blood -purifier should be sure and asi for Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Tour life, or that of some one near and dear to you, may depend on the uac ui wis weii-approYea remedy in prefer ence to any other preparation of similar name. It is compounded of Honduras sar saparilla ( the variety mot rich in curative properties), stillingia, mandrake,' yellow dock, and the iodides. The process of man ufacture is original, skilful, scrupulously clean, and such as to secure the very best medicinal qualities of each ingredient. This medicine is not boiled nor heated, and Is, therefore, not a decoction ; but it is a com pound extract, obtained by a method ex clusively our own, of the best and most powerful alteratives, tonics, and diuretics known to pharmacy. For the last forty years, Ayer's Sarsaparilla has been the standard blood-purifier of the world no other approaching it in popular confidence or universal demand. Its form ula is approved by the leading physicians and druggists. Being pure and highly con centrated, it is the most economical of any possible blood medicine. Every purchaser of Sarsaparilla should insist upon having this preparation and see that each bottle bears the well-known name of J. C. Ayer & Co., IiOwell, Mass. In everv onarter of thA clnKo a saparilla is proved to be the best remedy for all diseases of the blood. Lowell druggists unite in testifying to the superior excellence of this medicine and to its great popularity in the city of its manufacture. Ayer's Sarsaparilla PREPARED BY DR. J. C.
