Excerpt from Recollections of a Long Life: An Autobiography
In the days of my childhood the march of mod ern improvements had hardly begun. There was a small steamboat plying on the Cayuga Lake. There was not a single railwav in the whole State. When I went aa to school in New Jersey, at the age of thirteen, the tedious journey by the stage coach required three days and two nights; every letter from home cost eighteen cents for postage; and the youngsters pored over Webster's spelling books and Morse's geography by tallow candles; for no gas lamps had been dreamed Of and the wood fires were covered, in most houses, by nine O'clock on a Winter evening. There was plain living then, but not a little high thinking. If books were not so superabundant as in these days, they were more thoroughly appreciated and digested.

The book includes 28 devotions, with a focus of a fervent heart-walk with God. Rev. Cuyler states that singing a great hymn has potential to significantly change a heart. Affliction should be joined to prayer and then trust in God’s answer: “If it is not best that he lift off your load, he will give you grace to carry it.” Test actions by: “where a Christian would be ashamed to have his Master find him, there he ought never to find himself . . . conscientiously ask God’s blessing on what he is doing, there let that Christian go. He is not likely to wander over the line while walking by this rule.” Rev. Cuyler offers “a few counsels for the right keeping of the heart and the right conduct of the Christian life.”

Theodore Ledyard Cuyler was an American Presbyterian clergyman and writer. He became one of the most popular preachers of his days. His sermons were pungent, evangelical in tone, enforced with striking illustrations, and delivered with great earnestness.
Background
Theodore Ledyard Cuyler was born on January 10, 1822 in Aurora, New York, United States. He was the son of Benjamin Ledyard and Louisa (Morrell) Cuyler. Aurora is the town of which his great-grandfather, General Benjamin Ledyard of New London, Connecticut, whose daughter Mary married Glen Cuyler, was one of the first settlers. The Cuylers were of Dutch origin, descendants of Hendrick, who came to Albany about 1664. Theodore’s father died when his son was about four and a half years old, and the latter was brought up on his grandfather Morrell’s farm by a deeply religious mother who early determined that he should enter the ministry.
Education
Prepared for college by private tutorship and at the Hill lop School, Mendham, New Jersey, Cuyler graduated from Princeton in 1841 at the age of nineteen.
The following year he made a trip to Europe where he visited Wordsworth, Dickens, and Carlyle, an interesting description of whom is given in his Recollections of a Long Life.
In 1846 he graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary, was licensed by the Second Presbytery of Philadelphia, April 22 of the same year, and ordained by the Presbytery of West Jersey, May 4, 1848.
Career
From 1846 to 1849 Cuyler supplied the Presbyterian Church at Burlington, New Jersey, and from 1849 to 1853 he was pastor of the Third Church, Trenton.
In November of 1833 he became pastor of the Market Street Dutch Reformed Church of New York, where he remained until 1860 when he began a thirty years’ pastorate at the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn.
In April 1890 he became pastor emeritus, continuing to reside in Brooklyn, preaching, lecturing, and writing. Preaching he regarded as “spiritual gunnery, ” and said that his hearers would testify that he had never spared his lungs or their ears.
In the great revival of 1858 which began in New York he was one of the early leaders. He was especially interested in the temperance movement, and made his first public address at a welcome to Father Mathew in the City Hall, Glasgow, in 1842.
In theory he was a “legal suppressionist, ” but declared that the only real remedy for the liquor evil lies in removing the desire to use liquor. Without a stiff public sentiment back of legal suppression, he contended, “it may become a delusion and a farce. ”
For the most part they arc informally devotional in character, but include two volumes of sermons, Stirring the Eagle’s Nest and other Practical Discourses (1892) and A Model Christian (1903), a volume of foreign travel, From the Nile to Norway (1882), and his Recollections of a Long Life (1902). The last named has much charm and contains sketches of many famous people at home and abroad whom the author had known.
Achievements
Cuyler prepared the constitution for the National Temperance Society and Publication House, founded in 1865, and later was for some years its president.
He wrote for the religious press incessantly, and before his death boasted four thousand articles, many of which were translated into foreign languages.
He also published some twenty-two books, several of them widely popular.
