Big TyDE ON Little Tyng-A Heavy scold.


Unfortunately for the dignity of churchmen,
and even the respect due toward the Church,
the great case of Boggs and Stubbs versus
Tying and Tying was gone over again on We'd
nesday night in the pulpit, tie orator being the
father Of the juvenile delinquent recently on
trial. Dr.. Tying the elder had, it seems, writ
ten what he supposed to be . scathing review
of the whole case, which he intended to deliver
in court as one Of the counsel for b g son; but
the court adopted q rule that shut him out
He was not, however, to be silenced in that
easy way. He could not afford to let his
words die. His finely rounded sentences, his
bitter irony, his well pondered invective
should not, as he fanced be lost, and he car
ried it all into bis own church, and desecrated
the temple oi God by making its walls re-echo
The utterances of passion and spleen. In the
court that recently tried this case it went
low enough; but in the pulpit of
DIR. Tying 1t went lower still for
the reverend Doctor did not pretend to argue
the case-he merely berated his opponent
merely inlulged the instinct of q violent tenn
per to revile and vituperate with a wealth of
malevoent and vindictive epi!hat. In the
course Of many things bitterly said we ara
told that "the spirit Of DR.. Stubbs is not the
spirit of st. Paul." Perhaps this is true Of
Stubbs, and exc Of Boggs. 1t may be that If
Boggs and Stubbs were stewed and distilled
not an ounce Of the spirit Of ST Paul could be
gotten by the process but we are afraid that
even Tying himself is like them in this respect;
forhehas not that charity without which, il Paul
was right all knowledge, all faith and all gifts
are nothing. "Charity vaunteth not itself ;
is not puffed up; doth not behave itself un-
seemly seeketh not her own; is not easily
provoked :; thinketh no evil.' Such is the true
this can be found in DR.. Tyng's discourse
Never was there an utterance OF common
brawl that had less


DR.. Tying leaves the world to hold strange
opinions Of the Episcopal Church, and would
evidently prefer that the Church should suffer
rather than suffer himself He practically ac-
cuscs the whole Church Of menlacily. He
charges bishops, pastors. laity with hypocrisy
with making an issue, no. to try that issue,
but by 1t to crush himself and his son. Well,
suppose all are thrown over on his word, and
Tying only is left; then, in Tyng's own words,
we find that he also is hyPo,rte Thus 1t
comes to the point that all churchmen are
hypocritcs till we reach Tying, and he is
hypocrite too. In the opening part Of his dis
course he pretends . respect for the court
that he does not feel. He speaks Of Boggs and
Stubbs as conscientious men," engaged in
"the solemn exercise Of q painful duty" Do
these words really express his thoughts toward
those men, or are they only hypocritical pala-
vert If these words do not express bis
thoughts he was not speaking the truth
when he uttered them; and If they
do express his thoughts, how comes it that in
another part Of his discourse he speaks Of these
persons in such differen! terms, as follows =
"The prohibition Of the preaching Of the Gospel
in city in which they are appointed to minis





gentlemen as their right, when not q particle
Of mischief inconvenience or disadvantage
accrues to them, shows conclusivaly that this
prosecution has been set on loot from personal
hostility, from envy and spite and no mind in
this community Will be deceived by the Hmsy
pretence Of a reverence for order or care for
the honor of the Church with iich they seek
to cover it." Here is point, certainly, on
which Tying on either one side or the other
bears false witness. In this, as in fact all
through the discourse, there is an overflow of
ill-tcmper and wounded pride aud personal
vanity. but not q syllable indicating that
charitable spirit that "thinketh no evil; !" and
it cannot be that this forensic sermon has i'm
proved the case in the interests Of the Tying
family. II the Tyngs are no more reason ,ble
than this people at large will not think it
strange that Boggs and Stubbs conld not get
on with them. In fact, Boggs and Stubbs will
have the popular sympathy if they can only
induce the Legislature OF New Jcrsey to change
their respective names
