THE CONFLICT IN rHEoLD WORLD Won I'd

:, A special from Paredin contains fhe
following: The Turkish loss at,. the capture
BY the Russians Of the position near Gurnji
Dubrik, October 94th, was at least 1000 killed
besides wounded and prisoners. The Rus
sisns only succeeded In storming the position
at the third attempt They accuse the Turks Of
twice Turing them under q destructive flre By
displaying white flag.
It is officially announced the brigade
which was entrenched at Telesche has been
dispersed BY the Russians. Chevket Pasha is
fortifying the neighborhood Of Archanie Sui
ieman Pasha telegraphs confirmation Of re.
ports that the Russian army of the Dobudscha
Is marching to Kuzghim, near Silistria.
An effort is being made to gain pos
session OF the Pieyns aud Rahoya road. The
Roumanian force between the rivers Vid and
1ska Nov. ~1st made q Reconnaissance along
the Danube in the direction OF Rahoya. At
Vadeni they found Turkish detachment oc-
cupying some earthworks, and after brief
cannonade the Turkish magazine exploded and
the garrison rctreated in the direction of Ra-
hOva- Two companies Of Rouman'ans oc-
cupy the redoubts.
The attack on Telische simultaneously
with the capture of Dubrik on the oath ult.,
was repulsed with loss of thousand men
The loss at Dubrik was 5000 men. Every
brigade and regiment commander was killed
or wounded, and as nearly all the officers Of
the Guards are personally known at head
quarters the fact that 200 officers had been
placed hors du combat, has cast gloom over
the staff at Bagot.
A Russian official dispatch dated Bogot,
Nov I'd, says Gen. Kunzeff announces the
capture OF Daletewen, northeast of Orchanie,
where there were seven large and thirty small
fortified positions. The Turks left upwards
of hundred dead on the field. Our loss was
insignificant. We seized a large quantity OF
provisions, tools for cntrenchments, cart-idg-
es, and herd of cattle. Yesterday the Grand
Duke Nicholas inspected the pos ton We; have
occupied at Gorny Dubuik, from which the
Turks, on the approach of the Russians, on the
S1st ultimo, withdrew during the night to
Plevna. Thus this important point has passed
into our hands without fighting. The same
day we advanced from Dubuik two versts to
Plevna. We arc also entreching.in in new po
sition towards Orchanie. Our infantry oc-
cupicd Lukowitza and the cavalry made a
further advance. Chcyket Pasha is retiring
without fighting toward Orchanie.

A Proclamation.
The completed circle of summer and
winter, seed time and harvest, has brought
us to the accustomed season at which re-
ligious people celebrate with praise and
thanksgiving the enduring mercy Of AL
mighty God. This devout and public con-
fession of constant dependence of man
upon the Divine Father for all good gifts
Of life and health and peace and happi-
ness, so early in our history made habit
of our people, finds in the survey of the
past year grounds for its joyful and CRATE
full manifestations. In all blessings which
depend upon benignant seasons, this has
been a memorable year. Over wide ter
ritory, IN our country, with all its diver
7ity Of soil and climate and products, the
earth has yielded q bountitul return to
the labor of the husbandman. The
health Of the people has been blighted
by no prevalent and widespread disease.
No great disasters of shipwreck upon
our coasts or to our commerce on the seas
have brought loss and hardships to mer.

piness of the community with sympathet-

strength and peace and greatness as a
nation, in all that touches the perman

and the benefcent institutions on
which it rests, in all that affects the
character and dispositions Of our people
and tests our capacity to enjoy and
uphold the equal and free condition of
enci atv now nermanent fhronoh0ut the
land, the experience Of the last yea,
is conspicuously marked by the
protecting Providence of God and
is full Of promise and hope fol
coming generations. Under a sense o1
these infinite obligations to the Great
Ruler of times and seasons and events, lei
US humbly ascribe it to our own fault:

Why Four Gospels.

Because God, in His goodness, designed
to give us four distinct views of the char.
acter of Christ
In Matthew our blessed Saviour is nor.
trayed to the Jews as "the Messiah that
should come" Here we have more quo
tations from the Old Testament than in
any of the other gospels, and the fulfil
ment of prophecy is constantly referred
to.
In Mark, Jesus is presented as "the
faithful servant" We find here no gen.
ealogy, and never hear him laying down in
form the principles of His kingdom. His
disciples never address Him as Lord, and
only once do we hear Him appeal to God as
His Father, and that is when He is in the
garden of Gethsemane, and His day of
service is ended.
In Luke, our Lord is shown as "the Son
of man." We have His genealogy even
beyond Abraham to Adam. While He is
first presented to the Jews, He also illus.
trates the setting aside of the Jewish
system, and the arrival of the time when
"all flesh shall see the salvation of God"
In John, Jesus the Christ is presented as
the Son of God. We have no genealogy,
but are carried back to the beginning,
when he was with God. lie is represented
as God manifested in the flesh. In this
gospel especially we are made aware of the
personal presence of the Holy Ghost.
In these four distinct portraitures of our
blessed Lord, we witness the beautiful
wisdom and loving condescension of our
merciful God, who, though clothed in the
majesty of heaven, yet stoops to explain
and adapt himself to the finite comprehen-
sion and limited faculties of His creature
man.
