Last Moments Of Rev. Dudley 4
TYng,

The funeral of the Rev. Dudley A. Tying
took place in Philadelphia yesterday after
noon. The body was taken to Concert Hall
prior to interment.
The Philadelphia Press gives the following
interesting particulars of his last moments
The shadow which the death of the Rev.
Dudley Tying mas thrown over this community
seems to have deepened from the hour of its
first announcement.
The closing scenes of his life, as described
oy one of his brethren in the ministry at the
Jayne's Hall meeting, was a most thrilling
narratiz&Saa seemed to move. every heart
present. Indeed, as the minister-who was
an eye wispess to the scene-proceeded with
his simple statement Of the last words address
ed by the dying man to those around him, all
eyes were suffused with tears.
From the time of the fatal accident to one
hour previous to his death, Mr.. Tying had an
unfaltering confidence in his recovery, and
even conyersed freely and hopefully upon what,
as he believed, Providence had designed to
teach him in the despenSation to which he was
being subjected. He believed it was intended
to promote his greater efficiency as a minister
of the Gospel, aud he looked forward with
bright hopes when he should again be able to
preach, and to preach as he had never done
before.
About an hour before his desolation his
family, fearing that his hopes of recovery were
groundless, approached him with solemn inti-
nation that in all probability he was soon to
leave them. His physician entering the
chamber at the instant, Mr.. Tying spoke to
him of + fears. The doctors reply was,
that they IRE only too true--that his time
was fast wing 10 a close. The dying man
with the SINE heroic spirit whichnever forsook
him through all his sufferings, received the sol
emn announcement with the utmost resigna-
ton, answering only, "Then, it is well--it is
very well Gods will be done"
After a few moments of composure. he call
ed his friends who were present and the mem
bers of bis family to his bedside, to bid them
a last farewell. He thanked his physician, who
is not a protesting christian, for his kind atten-
ton, warning him with great tenderness to
lose no time In giving himself to that saviour
who was now sustaining him in the hour OF
trial TIE each of his children he gave an af-
fectionate farewell. hoping that, by the grace
of God, and the care of a devoted mother. thew
might be early brought to know their sa-
%yiour."
To his wife, who has attended 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 endeavors to
brlngAtr@Bys up to the ministry, He was
now to say farewell to his venerable father,
the Rev. Stephen H Tying, D. D. taking
his aged parent by the hand, he said with
much earnestness " Stand up for Jesus faith
er Stand up for Jesus aud tell my brethren
in the ministry, wherever you meet them, to
Stand up for Jesus
At the close of this solemn feel
ing that he was approaching his end, be re-
quested those>around him to sing a hymn
After a moment of silence, his own wife, not
withstanding the solemn circumstances under
which this request was made, commenced
singing the beautiful hymn-made doubly so
by its appropriateness to the occasion-begin-
ming,
4 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
LetSne hide myself in Thee"
The hymn was sung, and even while the
echoes Of that mournful strain yet 6oated in
the air, the spirit of Dudley A. Tying took its
fight to Yer, and, as we have reason to be-
lieve, NOR blissful realms.
At thu heeting in Jayne's Hall, on Tues
S aEfaetwas referred to in
connection .1fA Mr.. Tyngss recent sermon in
that hall, to an immense audience, from the
text of Scripture, Ye that are men, go and
serve the Lord
Toward the close of his eloquent discourse
on that occasion, he asked pardon if he had
said anything TO offend his congregation, but
adding, Il must tell my Masters errand, and
| would rather that this right arm placing
his left hand upon it where it has since been
amputated) were amputated at the trunk,
than that | should come short of my duty to
you in delivering Gods message"
The bold anti-sectarian principles of Mr..
Tying, and the cordiality with which he fra
ternized with his brethren of all denominations,
