Men referred to this revival afterwards as “the work of God in Philadelphia.” One of the most earnest and zealous leaders in the movement was a young pastor, Dudley A. Tyng, not quite thirty years old.

In the midst of the revival in 1858 he preached a powerful sermon at a noon-day meeting in Jayne’s Hall to a gathering of 5,000 men. His text
