In that respect he resembled Whitfield and Gough and many of our most effective stump speakers.

The result was that Dr.Tyng's fame, to a great degree, perished with him.

He published several books, of a most excellent and evangelical character, but they lacked the thunder and the lightning which make his uttered words so powerful, and probably none of his many books are much read to-day.

The influence of his splendid and heroic personality was very great during a ministry of over fifty years, and the glorious work which he wrought for his Master will endure to all eternity.
To have heard Dr.William Adams of New York at his best was better than any lecture on "Homiletics"; to have met him at the fireside or in the sick room of one of his parishioners was a prelection in pastoral theology.
The first time that I ever saw him was fully fifty years ago; he was standing in the gallery of the old Broadway Tabernacle at an anniversary of the American Bible Society, and Dr.James W.Alexander pointed him out to me saying--"Yonder stands Dr.William Adams, he is the _hardest student_ of us all." It was this honest incessant brain work that enabled him to sustain himself for forty years in one of the conspicuous pulpits of the largest city in the land.

He always drew out of a full cask.
