“God’s people are never so exalted as when they are brought low, never so enriched as when they are emptied, never so advanced as when they are set back by adversity, never so near the crown as when under the cross.” Theodore Cuyler knew the sting of death. Over a period of 20 years he and his wife watched as 3 of their children died from illness. During those days Cuyler went to the Bible for help and ended up penning these 20 short essays on suffering and the sovereignty of God. We all face difficult times where the dark clouds seem to gather and block the light from shining through. God’s Light on Dark Clouds helps us understand the purpose of our suffering and the comfort of our loving Savior.

Theodore Cuyler was on September 14, 1819 in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. He was descended from Hendrick Cuyler, a native of Hassett, Overyssel, Netherlands, who emigrated to New Netherland some time prior to 1660, and settled at Albany. Fourth in direct line of descent was Cornelis Cuyler, a prominent pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church at Poughkeepsie, New York. He married Eleanor, daughter of Isaac de Graaff of Schenectady.
Cuyler's early education was obtained at the public school there, but, on the family removing in 1834 to Philadelphia, he entered the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 1838, third in his class.
Cuyler was admitted to the bar, October 7, 1841, and commenced practise in Philadelphia’ Developing unusual legal talent, he was retained in many important causes at an early stage of his career. His brilliant advocacy in the celebrated Christiana treason case in the United States circuit court in November 1851, involving a charge against a number of persons for affording assistance to fugitive slaves from Maryland, placed him in the front rank of contemporary trial counsel. Interested in all local matters of public importance he found time to act as director of public schools in Philadelphia.
In 1856 became a member of the Select Council, a position which Cuyler he retained for six years, during four of which he was chairman.
For a number of years the Pennsylvania Railroad Companywas involved in heavy litigation, which he conducted with remarkable success, establishing his reputation as the greatest corporation lawyer of the period. For nearly twenty years he was retained on one side or the other in almost every corporation case of importance in Pennsylvania and the neighboring states.
He “was prone to take cases too easily in the initial and middle stages, with the result that, to save the day he was often forced at the end to make herculean efforts. Driven to the last ditch he was most dangerous, and more than once snatched victory out of the very jaws of destruction”. In 1872 he was elected a delegate-at- large from Philadelphia to the Pennsylvania state constitutional convention, and took a prominent part in its discussions.
