On May 16th, 1832, Dudley Tyng lost his amiable and pious mother. A sudden hemorrhage from the lungs bore her rapidly to glory, and left her partner and family bereaved. But she was able to encourage her husband thus, ere she passed away: "My dear, give yourself no anxiety about my children; God will bring them all to himself."

She had prayed for them, and she looked for the answer of a faithful God. She might not see the fulfillment on earth, but she would welcome it as her sainted children joined her one by one in heaven. Thus should we always pray and not faint, in training our children to God. Thus Grimshaw prayed for his wayward son, a reckless youth, who, after his father's death, would say to the horse on which he rode; "Once thou carriedest a saint, now thou carriest a devil." But at length the prayers on his behalf were answered. The Lord gave him repentance, and ere he died he said: "What will my father say when he sees me in heaven ?"

Dudley Tyng was a precocious scholar, and profited above many when he was at school. "At seven years of age he was reading mature Latin authors; and at that time received from his teacher a beautiful miniature copy of Virgil as a premium for having read that author." His father also informs us that "in the autumn of 1839 he entered the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1843 with distinguished honor."

It was in 1841 that grace manifested itself in him, and he was converted to God. The seed of early training then came forth and budded. A young lady, who had been converted by means of Dr. Tyng's ministry, aided very much the real conversion of his son. The concern of the youth was exhibited in a way that must have touched a father's heart. We shall give it in his own words:

"Late one night, when all the family had retired to rest and left me to my closing hour of solitude in my study, I heard the sound of feet descending the stairs. It was this dear boy, who had risen from his bed in sleepless sorrow. As he came into my room and pressed his arms around my neck, he said: 'Dear father, I cannot sleep, I am so sinful. Father, will you pray for me?'

"We knelt together in prayer, and I gave him counsel for a short season suited to his state of mind, when he retired to his bed again. What a tribute and privilege it is in that parental education, in which an awakened son may freely throw his arms around his father's neck, and say, 'Father, pray for me."" Light dawned on that youthful, anxious soul, and the love of Jesus filled it. He became a child of God, and confessed it in an entire change of demeanor and aim and life. The child of prayer became a child of God.

As his college course terminated he resolved to dedicate himself to the ministry of the Gospel, and entered the theological seminary of Virginia, in

October, 1843. He was there blessed with an evangelical training. No Puseyism, no sacramentalism was taught there. The Word of God was practically made the text-book of the students. Mr. Tyng remained during three years, and was ordained deacon by Bishop Meade in 1846. He then became assistant to his father, who had a year before removed to New York. In 1847 he accepted a charge at Columbus, Ohio, and was ordained. presbyter by the excellent Bishop M'Ilvaine, a man "whose praise is in all the Churches." In 1849, owing to the failure of his health, he removed to Charlestown, Virginia; but returned to Ohio in 1852, as minister of Christ Church, Cincinnati. Though a young man, his ministry was very greatly appreciated, marked as it was by the simple and earnest presentation of the Gospel of Jesus. His catholic spirit (that which is often sadly wanting among some who dayly profess to "believe in the Holy Catholic Church") was as beautiful as it was rare, and won for him the warm affections of the evangelical community. So much was this the case, that on the visit of the Rev. Dr. Duff, the eminent missionary of the Free Church of Scotland at Calcutta, Mr. Tyng was chosen by the ministers present to express the sentiments of the assembly to their honored guest. This he did with much fervor and affection, and concluded thus:

"And now, dear brother, farewell! on earth we meet no more. But meet we shall, and our sorrow at parting is greatly lessened by the sweet anticipa
