WALK IN THE SPIRIT—SERMON BY THE REV. © GC. TIFFANY. ‘Tho congregations of the churches of the Atonement and the Incarnation met yesterday in the Church of the Atonement, Madison avenue and Twenty-eighth | street. Alter the usual preliminary Episcopal service the pastor, the Rev, C. G. Tiffany, preached trom St. Panl to the Galatians, v., 16—Walk im the spirit, In presenting his ideas the preacher said this phraso plenty: life.

That religion is not a system of rules, lixe | the Koray, as it looks higher in its aims, it1ooks deeper | into the sources by which its atms are to be gained.

The insistance im tho | creed that He proceeded trom the Father and the Son is to show tat 1n the Spirit of God we possess not something which the Father apd the Sou are not, but that whi stitutes their very essence If we a-e the word spirit, therefore, we get ata | vivid) realization of the truth, Now Christ’ is | that spirit, say's the Apostle, and to walk in tho Spirit is to Walk in the very mind of Christ, incied by the | tame love, upheld by the same Divine strength, Ay | the whole Divine office of the spirit is to bring Christ to us, 8010 Walk In the Spirit is simply to come to Christ and to abide in Him, [tis to be infilled with the secret of Its life and character by the very power | which created that lite aud character—the Holy Ghost, given without measure unto Him, Yet there is an added power in the orm im which tis comes to us— | “Walk in the Spirit—tor it indicates @ living presence | of that which we are to live by, instead of a past mem- ory.

Eugene H, Pearce, of the Drew Theological Seminary, Madi- sou, N.Y. He selected as a text that portion of the twenty-sixth verse of Luke, xiv., which reads— “Come, tor all things are now ready.” Tho text, he felt sure, illustrated the scheme of redemption. The pian of redemption was good, so surprisingly good that none butwod could have devised it And yet, however great the work, it was so simple, when prop- erly understood, that it was woudertuily well adapted tothe understanding of all, As it was with the declaration of the text go was it with the parable of the mustard seed; so of the pet wich was cust into | the sea, and so when gathered about the the fsbermen and trade-m.on jour to hear more concern: the pearl of great price, Thus it vas with Christ's teachings aiways, Whether im the hovel or in the palace; their granueur = lay im the Vat Volurae of inestimably valuable thougi.t couched in the simplest of language. but, in consideration of the text be had cited, be leit it to be Weil vo give attention to the special indications in (ue invitat.on—"Come, for all things are now ready”—to tu WhO, a8 tho pre- ceding Verses showed, Lad re(used the first invitation. and (bose who bad made excuses, In the deciaration Inade as read the invitation Wus A poipied expression of the need of the Guspel by all, aud tue call to partake 1 Ube least Was in entire accordance with Oiher ex- pressions scattered t rougbout the record of the soy. ings of Christ.

FIGHT AT SAITSCHAR. HE Operations of the Montenegrins in Herzegovina. WHY GeEECE DOES NOT MVE. Loxpow, July 14, 1876, The intelligence from the seat o! war i dic ory as ever, The movements of General Teher- nayef are still shrouded in obscurity. Nothing has been heard from him for some days past A very plausible supposition of his movements is given this morning iu | @ special telegram. Genera! Tchernayeff, says this authority, attacked the enemy simultaneously on the Save and the Drina to the porth on the artificiay | boundary, and on the Drina toward the south on the Morara and the Timok on the east, all this for the pur- pose of disguising his scheme of junction with the Montenegrins on the south. [tis true if he had suc- ceeded be would have raised ali Bosnia and Bulgaria, struck out im the direction of Sophia and even beyond, and cut and covered the road from Con- Stantinople to Belgrade. He whould bave protected Belgrade on the side of the Danube by the guus of Semendria, and had he been successful ou tho side of Beljina be 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 aifirmed this evening, that the Turks have captured Saitschur and are holding it the prospects oi the campaign for the Servians are seriously im- perilied, Saitschar is strategically A REAL KEY O¥ THY POSITION. The Turks command from it at once tho Timok to the east, Widdin and Palanka and Nissa, or Nisch, to tho south, The capture of Saitschar quite explains all the disquieting rumors respecting Tchernayeil, With- out giving himself time to besiege Nisch, 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 Beljina; their unquestionable defeat at Yavor, on the south, and near Schemitza, suddenly stopped bis ad- vauco, He remained stationary for some days to 61 whether the Servians in these two directions would recover {rom their reverses. It was during this inter- Unloriunately for him the Turks did not remain idle while be was thus waiting for successes which did not happen. They ad- vanced in force and estatlished themselves at Saitscuar, their corps d’armée at Sophia and Widdin effected a forward movement, and thus not only endangered the Servians’ positions but threatened to turn them. lt was then that Tchernayef, to prevent his retreat being cut off, made a forced march back, pursued by Osman Pacha and by Abdul Kerim, and | harassed and menaced bv the Nisch troops. This sit uation appeared dangerous enough, for the Prince's | headquarters were moved back to the triangular basis which, in the very centre of Servia itself, protects the Morava and its western branch of the same name. socms impossible to explain otherwise THY CONVLICTING REPORTS which have been, and still are, current as to Tcherna- yet, his forward movement: 8 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 harassed retreat, which is not exactly a defeat but resembles it a good deal. Belgrade 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 bo urged that if Tchernayeff has not made any progress neither bave bis immediate opponents. It is evident, however, thatthe Turks are acting wisely tn delaying an advance from Nisch and trying to retain Tcuernayeft in the vicinity of that town, for 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 Teher- | nayef, Indeed, the key of the extended semicircular position of the Servians 18 clearly Saitschar, That taken, @ marcn on delenceiess Belgrade would be compara- tively easy. The Standard thns summarizes the events on the Timok:—"A Belgiade te‘egram irom one of our special correspondents dated yesterday asseris that Osman Pacha, who has a} Widdin 12,000 men, was on Wednes- aay drawn into AN ATTACK ON SAITSCHAR, held by Leschjanin with one division of say 10,000 men. A severe contest ensued, and, after tive hours’ fghting the Turks are reported to have abandoned their at- tempt. The Servian commander at Saitschar is said to havo received large 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 menu, only sent into the field op the last emergency, has beeu calied out Many of these gray- bearas havo, it is reported, refused to accept the offer tocome aud be killed. At all events they are us- terly without organization, drill and uniform. On the other Land « Vienna telegram of Wednesday informs us that five battalions of Asiatic troops bave been landed 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 the Turks was to collect a large lorce at Widdin for the purpose of fighting a de- eisive battle on the Timok and thus turning the Ser- vians ieft flank, cutting of the Servian centre and taking the Servian right wing in reverse. Of course any great success achieved by Tchern ayeff would battle this project, and a Berlin telegram of Wednesaay on- ounces tuata serious engagement, favorabie 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 in- surgents. From Constantinople we have no trastwor- thy news. “So far little has been heard from Prince Nikita with his Montenegrins and Herzegovinans since the issue of his weli-worded and patriotic proclamation to the latter people. The Prince’s army consists of 10,000 Montenegring, 6,000 Herzegovinans and 3,000 volun- teers. A strong detachment of this force remains hear Podgovitza, occasionally engaged in skirmishing with the Turks, while the balk 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 this position the Turks would have been prevented from sending reinforcements and supplies juto Herzegovina, even bad not the Austrian gover that port and the whole district lying bi sween.the seat of warand the sea The effect of this is that the transport of Turkish troops and munitions must cease, and the only road remaining to the Turks to the two threatened provinces of Herzegovina and’ Bosnia in that whieh passes between the Servian frontier and Montevegro.
