Emphasis Preaching Journal

Reverend Dudley Tyng was an Episcopal priest serving a church in Philadelphia. Because of his strong opposition to slavery he was forced to leave Episcopal dioceses and he then started the Church of the Covenant. He was a strong preacher, once holding a rival on March 30, 1858, where 5,000 men attended. Two weeks after the rival he was visiting in the countryside when he came to close to a corn-thrasher and his right arm was ripped from its socket. Several days later he died from the wound.
