Fally two thousand people were congregated im the Church of the Disciples yesterday morning. Mr. Hep worth selected bis text from Genosis xviil, 1— these things the word of the Lord came unto Abrabam ina vision, saying, Fear not, Abrabat; lam thy shield and thy exceeding great reward.’ One need scarcely fear if he is sure (hat God is on his side. It is those who are without God that are always pressed down to the earth by the sorrows und troubles of life, Those who have God in their hearts have God’s strength in their sioulders and can bear, cun eudure, can resist Anything, To be without laith in God is to be as h less us an infant, In the passage I have re promises, in the first pla suield to Abrabaim, and tf you will remember something of th of the times in which these words were uilered you will see their force ard 1u the heat ot battle the enemy thrust their spears from all direc- tions, and i! the warrior sees the spear quickly enough be can interpose Lis shietd and save bin But how many times a man iaiis from a back or side thrust!

THE FIGHT AT SAITSCHAR. Operations of the Montenegrins in Herzegovina. WHY G*EECE DOES NOT ML-VE. Loxpow, July 14, 1876. The intelligence from the seat of war is as coptra- dic ory as ever, The movements of Generai Tche nayeff are still shrouded iu obscurity. Nothing has been heard {rom him for some days past A very plausible supposition of his movements is given this morning iu | A special telegram, Genera! Tchernayef, says this authority, attacked the enemy simultaneously on the Save and the Drina to the vorth on the artificiay boundary, and on the Drina toward the south on the Morara and the Timok on the ei all this for the pur- pose of disguising bis scheme of junction with the Montenegrins on the south, Itis true if he had suc- ceeded he would have raised all Bosnia and Bulgaria, struck out in the direction of -Sophia and even beyond, and cut and covered the road trom Con- stantinople to Belgrade. He whould bave protected Belgrade on the side of the Dunube by the guns of Semendria, and had he been successful on the side of Beljima he would also have guarded the Save. Under these conditions Servia would not havo been far of from a victory. If, however, it is positively true, as Is persistently affirmed this evening, that the Turks have captured Saitschur and are bolding it the prospects of the campaigu for thv Servians are seriously im- perilied, Saitschar is strategically A REAL KEY O¥ THM POSITION. The Turks command from it at once tho Timok to the east, Widdin and Palanka and Nissa, or Nisch, to the south, The capture of Saitschar quite explatus all the disquieting rumors respecting Tchernayeil, With- out giving himself time to besiege Misch, which would have required a dangerous expenditure of time, Teher- nayeff turned that fortress and pushed toward Sophia, but the failure of the Servians on the north of the Drina, at Boljina; their unquestionable deteat at Yavor, ou the south, and near Schemiza, suddenly stopped bis ad- vauco. He remained stationary for somo days to see whether the Servians in these two directions would recover {rom their reverses. It was during this inte! ‘al that there was no nows of him. Unioriunately for him the Turks did not retnain idle while be was thus waiting for successes which did not happen. They ad- vanced in force and estalished themselves at Saliscaar, their corps d’armée at Sopuia und Widdin effected a forward movement, and thas oot only endangered the Servians’ positions but threatened to turn them. it was then that Tchernayef, to prevent his retreat being cut off, made a torced march back, pursued by Osman Pacha and by Abdul Kerim, and harassed and menaced by the Nisch troops. This sit uation appeared dangerous evovgh, for the Prince's headquarters were woved back to the triangular basis which, in the very centro of Servia itself, protects the Morava and its western branch of the same name. It socms impossible to explain otherwise THM CONFLICTING REPORTS which have been, and still are, current as to Tcherna- ye, lis forward movements, bis signal defeats and his not less signal victories. He made a bold advance which was stopped by serious defeats on the north and south, and bas made a precipitate and barassed retreat, whieh is not exactly a defeat but resembies it a good deal Beigrade is anxiously awaiting Tchernayeff’s move- ments, His army consists of threo divisions, about 40,000 men, and if he does not accomplish anything little may be expected from the other Servian columns, It may be urged that if Tchernayeff has not made any progress neither have his immediate opponents. It 1s evident, however, that the Turks are acting wisely tn delaying an advauce from Nisch and trying to retain Tonernayoff in the vicinity of that town, ior large rein- forcements are daily expected, and when they arrive the Turks will, no doubt, make a vigorous attack on the Servian position on the lower Timok, which, if suc- cessiul, will gravely compromise the safety of Tcher- nayef. Indeed, the key of the extended semicircular position of the Servians :scicarly Saitschar, That taken, @ warcn on detenceiess Belgrade would be compara- tively ye The Standard thus summarizes the events on the Timok:—'tA Belgiade te‘egram irom one of our special correspondents dated yesterday asserts that Osman Pacha, who has ay Widdin 12,000 men, was on Wednes- day drawn into AN ATTACK ON SAITSCHAR, held by Leschjanin with one division of say 10,000 men. A severo contest ensued, and, after five hours’ fighting the Turks are reported to have abandoned their at- tempt. The Servian commander at Saitschar is said to havo received Jarge reinforcements, bringing up his force to 30,000 men, but we may doubt their value, for we learn that the third class reserve, con- sisting of old men, only sent into the field on the last emergency, has been called out, Many of these gray- bearas havo, itis reported, refused to accept the offer tocome and be killed At all events they are ut- terly without organization, drill and uniform. On the other hand a Vienna telegram of Weduesday informs us that five battalions of Asintic troops bi been landod at Widdin, and we learn from another source that 3,500 Egyptians are on their way to joto Osman Pacha at the same place. All this looks as if the plan of she Turks was to collect a large force at Widdin for the purpose of fighting a de- cisive battle on the Timok and thus turning the Se: vians left flank, cutting off the Servian centre and taking the Servian right wing in reverse. Of cour any great success achieved by Tchernayeff would battic ‘this project, and a Berlin telegram of Wednesaay sn- nounces tuat a serious engagement, favorable to the Servians, has been fought on the road between Nisch and Sofa, bat Turkish news makes no mention of such a victory. “Thus matters stand to-day as undecided as a woek ago. It is thought no genera! movement will be made by the Turks until the end of the month. In the mean- time the Turkish forces are growing daily larger, while the Servian forces do not increase. The correspond- ents on the Servian side have much hope for the i surgents. From Constantinople we have no trastwor- thy news. “So far ttle has been heard from Prince Nikita with his Montenegrins and Herzegovinans since the issu of his well-worded and patriotic prociamation to the latter people. The Prince’s army consists of 10,000 Mootencgrins, 6,000 Herzegovinans and 3,000 volu teers. A strong detachment of this force remains near Podgovitza, occasionally engaged in skirmishing with the Turks, while the buik of the Montenegrins are attempting the conquest of Herzegovina, Accord- jug to the latest accounts a body of 6,000 Montenegrirs and insurgents Lave occupied without resistance the heights above Klek, the Adriatic port of Herzegovina. By holding (bis position the Turks would we been prevented from sending reinforcements and supplies iato Herzegovina, even had not the Austrian govern- ment closed that port and the whole district lying be- sweon.the seat of warand the sea The effect of this is that the transport of Turkish troops and munitions by soa must cease, and the only road remaining to the Turks to the two threatened provinces of Herzegovina and’ Bosnia js that whieh passes between the Servian frontier and Montenegro.
