STATE STREET CHURCH.

STATE STREET. CHURCH.
Rev. Mr.. Hincks preached at State street
church yesterday morning, taking the follow
ing text: Eight the good fight of faith"
Timothy VI, IL. Wisdom is needed by the
Christian to know how to fight, as well as
courage to keep up the fight; and therefore it
is very important to study how to make this
christian warfare.
First, How shall the Christian be prepared
for the contest? Under this head the preacher
said that delicacy of moral perception ought to
be cultivated. The power to see evil must be
developed. Great and obvious sins do not
tempt many men; it is the little sins, in favor
of which good many things can be said, which
undermine character. Few business men
want to steal their neighbours property, but
many good men in business fall into questiona-
BILE habits of trade which degrade the soul. In
order to be prepared for the fight the Christian
should also cultivate in every way frmness of
character, to be able to resist temptation when
it shall come. Conversion does not altogether
prepare the soul for the fight, it only puts it
into shape to prepare itself by Christian train
ing for the struggle.
Second, How the warfare best be fought?
Under this head the preacher considered the
power of evil association to the Christian. No
man can be an intimate friend without exert
ing great power upon the soul. This is espe-
cially for the young man to consider but is not
to be forgotten by any man at any time of life
The great struggle of the Christian is in his
own SOUL He must learn to combat evil feel
ings, for in them are the seeds of sin; they
honeycomb the character and make it ready to
fall when the shock comes. But the Christian
should also be ready for open and aggressive
war with sin. Not seeking occasions of tempt
ation for no man knows how weak he is aud
how liable to fall, but he must be ready when
sin meets him to draw the sword, and finally
he should remember what foe he has to fight
and how much grace and strength he needs
continually.

Business Notes.

The Calais Times says that several gangs
have been shut down on the st. Croix river the
past week; and several of the largest lumber
manufacturers have intimated their intention
to MAKE further curtailments within few
days. The cost of getting many kinds of lum-
Der to market is fully equal to the price real
lied. The American market has not only
made no improvement of late, but even shows
tendency to further depression.
The Calais Times says that Mr.. Williams ar
rived at Barring boom with the rear drive on
the l4th, having been but twenty six days driv-
ing over fifty millions of logs. This is the
shortest time In which the ST. Croix logs were
ever driven. All the logs are now in with the
exception of Jake Eastman's. The booms
contain about nine millions and comprise the
eastern Grand Lake logs, one boom of which is
at the outlet.

SACCARAPPA.-rhat Old Folks Concert Civ
en- at the Congregational church last week has
created quite sensation all round. Both the
old and the young declare it to be the best en-
tertainment ever given in this village. And
there appear to be several reasons why it we'll
might be called such. When it is found out on
inquiry that Reliverance Higgins (she that
was spark Was formerly one of Boston's IA
vorite contraltos, and Priscilla Ann Owenson
is an advanced pupil of L. W. Wheeler of the
New England Conservatory of Boston, and
Hazadiah Goodenough is one of Portland s
best base singers. and Hodijah Coffin is from
the Yale glee club Of. 65, the whole make up
an unusual combination of ye men and women
singers. In accordance with the universal de-
mand, the concert will be repeated next Tues
day, and an opportunity for a good musical
treat is given to the people of Portland and
yicni tV.

THE MUsEUM-Mr. Arnold is leaving moth
ing undone to make the Museum a fine place
of amusement About three hundred new
folding chairs have arrived, and are to be at
once:paced in the dress circle. The stage has
been deepened about five feet and will be
heightened quite as much. Other extensive
Improvements are in progress.
The company, one of the best to be obtained,
will all be here on the first of September,
ready to begin rehearsals The well-known
musician, Mr.. Charles Grimmer. has been en-
gagged to lead the orchestra, which will be
made up wholly of Portland men. 1t is not
yet decided with what play to open.
The great prismatic light with its star forty
inches across and its foot-length letters has
arrived. 1t is toe most attractive thing in the
shape of a sign ever seen in this state. Its
hues of many -celored glass are lighted up by
twenty gas jets, and the illumination can be
seen miles. The atomizers for pertaining the
hall on matinees have also come. They are
similar to those used at the Uniou Square
Theatre, New York.

For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very
effectual A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor to the enervated body For dyspep-
