me late DudIey A. Tyng.

The death of Rev. Dudley A. Tying has
called out. as our readers already know, not
only universal feeling of sorrow, but every
where from the press the most hatterng AL
iusions to his character and career; and this
fact furnishes proof that man who has the
moral courage TO take afbold stand, and TO
make noble testimony for the truths sake,
will command the admiration even OF those
who fall under his condemnation aud rebuke.
We have not seen an unkind allusion, South
or North, in connection with a notice Of his
death. Yet very many newspapers which
quote his last words, very careful 10 leave
out Of view the GROWING glory OF his life,
which was, his character as an outspoken
minister of the Gospel, and his fearlessness
in preaching against the great national sin of
the country. When he said on his death bed
ssStand up for jesus he meant, "Stand up
for freedom -"Stand up for Christ as rep
resented in the oppressed and down-trod-
den." As DR., Cheever said, in his recent
memorial DISCOURSE dudley Tying, in
these words, left an inheritance for Christ,
but some Of his friends ARE trying TO break
the will" Mr.. Tyng became conspicuous be-
fore the nation, because he told them of their
aims, and commanded them in the name OF
Christ to repent. II was his anti slayery ad-

him his reputation. II was for this that he
was received wherever lie went with such
enthusiastic applause. 1t was for this that
when he was turned out Of one church that
refused to hear the Gospel, the people rallied
round him and formed another. 1t was for
this that his name and his last words, linked
together, will 70 aoSn to posterity, Ms a per-
petual heritage to the future church ON earth.
And when religious newspapers eulogze his
character leaving out his courage, and COM
mend his fidelity TO the truth, leaving out the
truth to which he was faithful, they are guilty
of the same sin of omission as that for which
Mr.. Edward Everett stands convicted btfore
the world, in making rhetorical displays Of
Washington's love Ut freedom, and remem.
bering TO forget that Washington emancipa-
ted his slaves. /, 10 the old ofensc Of the
