The shadow which the death of the Rev. Dudley
A. Tying has thrown over this community seems to
have deepened from the hour Of its first announce.
ment. Stricken down in the very flower of man
hood, when to all appearances the field of his use
funess was daily widening. and under circumstances
so painful, the effect has been like marvellous dis
pensation of Providence.
At the MONDAY meetings for public worship
with which Mr.. Tyng's presence was peculiarly iden
titled prior to the fatal accident-his death has be
come the absorbing theme. The closing scenes Of
his life as described by of his brethren in the
ministry at the Jaynes Hall meeting yesterday was
a most thrilling narrative, and seemed tomove every
heart present. Indeed, as the minister-who was
simple statement of the last words addressed by the
dying man to those around him all eyes were suIus-
ed with tears, and uniformed stranger, entering
the room, might have thought himself in vast con-
gregation of mourners.
From the time of the fatal accident to one hour
previous to his death Mr. Tying had untaltering
fdence in his recovery, and even conversed freely
and hopefully upon what, as he believed, Providence
had designed to teach him in the dispensatiOn to
which he was being subjected. He believed it was
intended to promote his greater efficiency a min
lister of the gospel and he looked forward with
bright hopes when he should again be able to preach,
and to preach as he had never done before. About
one hour before his dissolution his family, fearing
that his hopes of recovery were groundess, APP
preached him with the solemn intimation that in all
probability he was soon to leave Them His phys
spoke to him of these fears. The doctors reply was
that they were only too truethat his time fast
drawing to a close. The dying man, with the same
heroic spirit, which never forsook him through all
his suierings received the solemn announcement
with the utmost resignation, answering only, "Then
it is well-it is very wcll Ged's will be done"
After u few moments OF composure he called his
friends present and the members of his family to his
bed side to bid them last farewell He thanked
his physician, who is not protesting Christian, for
his kind attention, warning him with great tender
ness to lose no time in giving himself to that Saviour
who was now sustaining him in the hour of trial.
To each OF his children he gave an aectionate fare
well hoping that, by the grace of God and the care
of devoted mother, they might be early brought
'to know their Saviour" To his Wife who has mi
nistered to him with so much affection and fidelity,
all through his illness, he included in his parting
words the request that she would use her endeavor
to bring their boys up TO the ministry He was now
to say farewell TO his venerable father, Rev. stephen
II. Tying, ID. ID. Taking his aged parent by the
hand he said with much earnestness, Stand up for
Jesus, father; stand up for Jesus, and tell mT
brethren in the ministry wherever you meet them, to
stand up for Jesus
At the close of this solemn ceremony feeling that
he was approaching hk end. he requested those
around him TO sing hymn. After moment Of 81
lence, his own wife, Notwithstanding the solemn cir
cumstances under which this request was made,
commenced singing the beautiful hymn-made dou-
bly, 50 by its appropriateness to the occasion-be-
ginning,
Lea me hide myself In Thee,
The hymn was sung and even while the echoes Of
that mournful strain yet loaed In the air the spirit
of Dudley A. Tying took it, fight to other and, as we
have reason 10 believe, more blissful realms.
At the meeting in Jayne's Hall on Tuesday, a very
singular fact was referred To in connection with Mr..
Tyngs recent sermon in that hail. TO an immense
audience, from the text Of Scripture, eye that are
men, 90 and serve the Lord" Toward the close
Of his eloquent discourse on that occasion he ask
ed pardon IL he had said anything TO offend his
congregation, but adding al must tell my Masters
Grand and would rather that this right arm (pac-
ing his left hand upon il where thas since been am
putated) were amputated at the trunk than that I
should come short of my duty TO you in delivering
Gods message
The bold antisectarian principles Of Mr.. Tying,
and the cordality with which he fraternized with
his brethren of all denominations, endeared him to
the hearts Of thousands. His funeral will take place
this afternoon. II Is understood that the body will
be taken TO Concert Hall prior TO interment.
