Stephen H. Tyng (1800-1885) was ordained to the ministry of the
Protestant Episcopal church in 1821. His first parish was in
Georgetown, D. C., in 1821-'3, and then the Queen Anne parish,
Prince George County, Maryland, in 1823-'9. He was called to the
rectorship of St. Paul's church, Philadelphia, in 1829, then to the
Church of the Epiphany in 1838, where he served for twelve years.
In 1844 he was invited to St. George's church, New York city,
where, entering upon his duties in 1845, he labored for more than
thirty years as rector, and was retired as rector emeritus in 1878.
He received the degree of D. D. from Jefferson college,
Pennsylvania, in 1832, and from Harvard in 1851. He was
distinguished for eloquence in the pulpit, and also for able and
effective temperance and patriotic addresses. For many years he was
a leader among that part of the clergy known as low churchmen, he
was active in organizing the Evangelical knowledge society, the
American church missionary society, and the Evangelical education
society, and was editor for several years of "The Episcopal
Recorder" and "The Protestant Churchman." Dr. Tyng held a ready
pen, and published numerous volumes of interest and value. Chief
among these was his "Lectures on the Law and the Gospel"
(Philadelphia, 1832) . Solid Ground has also published his
outstanding book "The Christian Pastor" and is preparing a book of
sermons entitled "Prepare to Meet Thy God." In addition we have
published the book "Man of Business" which contains an outstanding
chapter contributed by Dr. Tyng entitled, "Men of Business: Their
Perplexities and Temptations."
