Every pastor must of course use his own
judgment" says the New York Erangeiia
pres }, 'as to hox he can best shield his
flock against the destructive influences of
modern sceptici,m. Recognizing the fact
we venture to suggest that the desired shield
ing may often be accomplished best by not
making the subject too prominent, and not
calling special attention to it by direct at
tack-in brief, by letting IL alone. His peo-
Pile do not bother themselves about it SO
much as he supposes, and they wiH care less
and less about il if their attention 10 not call
cd to it from the pulpit. Private conferences
with those who are in an, perplexity of mind
is the best way Of meeting 1t. Pulpit dis
courses against scepticism must state fairly
the arguments in its favor before attempting
to answer them; and when the pastor has
done this, his people may remember the ar
guments more than the reply. After all, the
old Gospel is its OVID best evidence, as it has
lost none of its conquering power. Ii is still
able to take care OF itself, and the pastor
who goes on preaching its truths. without
special regard TO the new tangled intidelity.

The rationsIism Of the present day i'm
periis the cause of truth, not so much by
direct assaults as by proposing to compromise
with error, says the New York Observer.
The men who are agitating the Church
with their Improvements upon the doctrines
Of Christianity seek TO make them more
agreeable to the human heart, not by deny
ing their truth. but by adulterating them with
their own reaaonipgs smoothing down the
rugged features, and breaking off the sharp
points that give offence. There are those,
too, who is seeking TO propagate the Gospel
Of Christ among the adhersnts of false
religions, and to secure its acceptance, are
ready To make q compromise with all sorts
Of error, giving up important truths and ad-
hitting much that is erroneous, in order to
secure standing upon common ground.
Some have even proposed truce between
the hostile systems Of Christianity and Mo-
hanmedanism, as if there were any common
ground on which the false prophet and the
divine Redeemer of men could meet and
hold fellowship and their respective follow
ers march together into the kingdom OF
heaven"

We do Tot believe it is wise to close
churches during the summer vacation of the
pastor, or, indeed, at any time of the year.
The Catholics are wiser in this respect than
some Protestants. Besides this, temptation
and death are constantly busy. and the
churches should not be less constant and per
sistent in their work than are the evil lufu-
ences which they are striving to counteract.

The introduction of religion as an element

distinctly opposed to the character of our
government that religious belief shall be

however, by any citizen who votes for or
against the election of any candidate for
Office out of consideration for the religious
belief of that candidate. We trust that our
fellow-citizens of all creeds will realize that
this is not Catholic country. nor Profess

The Churchman discusses at consde rable
length the question raised by Mr.. Moody in
a recent interview on the failure of the
churches to reach the masses. While agree
ing with Mr.. Moody on some points and en-
tertaining the highest respect for him at ali
times, it takes occasion to dissent from Ger
tain of his conclusions. at seems to u.s." it
says. ito be something ominous that an
evangelist of his earnestness and experience
should virtually give up the churches as
agencies of evangelizs,ion. We do not uu-
derstand him to antagonize the churches.
When converts are made, ne would very
gladly turn them over to the pastoral care of
the churches sfterward But does Mr..
Moody think that churches which are power
less to reach the people are likely to hold the
people after something else has reached
them! We suspect not These two things
go together; they are not separated, they
are united, in the commission which our
Blessed Lord gave to somebody. The
sgency which reaches the people is the
agency which will hold the people. So.
presently that agency will have grown into
another 'caureh," and, like its sisters. it
will probably cease to reach the people. Is
it well TO divide things that God has Joined?
Instead of virtually starting a new church,
to fail in time. like its predecessors, would
it not be better to reach the churches and
help them to reach the people?-

PORTS LOWERED AND GUNS RUN OUT.
The British Sealer Black Diamond
Captured by the Rush.
Her Captain Tells How He Would
Have Resisted a Weaker Pursuer.
The Cutter Last Seen In Pursuit of
Six Vessels.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3O.-Steamer Dora
arrived from Behring sea last night, and
brings the first detailed news of the capture
of the British sealer Black Diamond by the
U. S. revenue cutter Richard Rush, July II.
The Rush overlook the Black Diamond
and ordered her to heave to. The captain of
the Black Diamond refused and the COM
mander of the Rush ordered the lowering of
the ports and the running out of the guns
which caused the schooner to heave to.
Capt. Shepard and Lieut.. Tuttle boarded
the English craft and asked for her papers.
The officers of the Black Diamond offered no
armed resistance. but refused to deliver the
ships papers. Captain Shepard broke open
the cabin and forced the hinges off the
strong box and the captain s chest, securing
the papers. The search of the vessel dis
closed 105 sealskins taken in Behring sea.
Capt. Shepard placed a non-commissioned
officer from the Rush in charge OF the Black
Diamond and ordered the vessel taken to
Sitka to await further instructions. The
captain of the Black Diamond made the
statement that when in Victoria he had
been ordered to pay no attention in case he
was overtaken by the Rush and requested
to heave to. He said he would not have
surrendered if the Rush had had an inferior
force to his own.
On July 18th the schooner Triumph was
boarded by Capt. Shepard but no arrests
were made. The skins on board the vessel
were captured in the Pacific and not in
Behring sea. A passenger on the steamer
Dora said: "On the way down from st.
Paups island, we saw six sealers with the
Rush closely in pursuit. Undoubtedly by
this time she has made additional captures"

A Horseback Ride Among the Camps
Good Times Everywhere for the

Year Than Last.


KINGFIELD, July 30.-After trip through
the Rangeleys the PRESS representative
made tour among the sporting camps in
the Dead River region, and submits the sit
uation there. Arriving at Kingfeld in the
early evening, we tarry all night at the hotel
and early in the morning take a seat on the
coach of Owen Tufts line (who by the way
has as good an outfit for carrying passengers
as there is in Maine), and are driven over the
picturesque road that winds along the pretty
Carrabassett and over the mountain ranges.
AT Stratton we leave the stage for Smiths
farm. where a good dinner is waiting and
served in Mr.. Viles's usual good style. Al
ter dinner we take saddle horse six miles
to Tim Pond. We tarry here for day, and
have excellent fishing. Mr.. Viles has here
eleven camps, and informs us that his busi-
ness increases every year. He has good
company at present. In the morning we
take our horse and start on the trail for
Seven Ponds, II miles away, arriving there
in few hours. Here Mr.. Julian K. Viles is
also proprietor and has some cosy woods
cottages and trout enough for all who come
and wish to catch them. We find here a
number Of enthusiastic anglers, including
ii. Nj. Thompson, Esq, Of the Lowell,
Mass, Felting Works, with his family. Two
days is all the time we can spare here, and
we return to Eustis. At Eustis we are met
by our old friend Kennedy Smith, the pio-
near of the Dead River region, and who has
done more to develop this fine sporting To-
cality than any other party. We ride with
Mr.. Smith IL miles ON his excellent buck
board to Round Mountain Lake. "The
gem of the Dead River region" Mr.. Smith
has here II rustic camps that are models OF
comfort and convenience. There is fine fish
ing and hunting right at ths door. We were
pleased to meet here DR.. Ca ntrell and party
numbering IA persons, of Brooklyn, who are
to spend the summer here; also Sidney Dean
and party Of Providence. r. l. We tarried
two days and were royalty entertained. Re-
turning to Eustis we take the buc ckboard of
Messrs. Douglass and st. Ober for King and
Bartlett lakes. 15 miles away. the anglers
ElDorado, whose records for fishing cannot
be beaten in Maine, where the moose have
made their home for more than hundred
years. Here Messrs. d. & st. Ober are now
entertaining goodly number. Messrs. Allen
and others Of Portland left few days ago.
Returning with saddle horse to Eustis. we
stop on the way and go in to Spectacle Lake
to visit the champion hunter and moose
tanner, Isaac III. James, and his partner, A.
b. Douglass. Here they have some cosy
new camps, and only nine miles from Eustis,
and can give sportsmen all the fishing and
hunting they want. After day here we re-
