OK Easter Sunday Rev. Theodore l. Cuyler
who for 80 years had been the faithful pastor
Of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church,
Brooklyn, retired from the active work of the
ministry. He is 68 years of age, with his ver-
satile intellectual powers unimpalred. although
be is partially deaf. He has been one of the
most wiuely known pastors of this country.
OF being exceptionally pulpit orator, still he
was faithful and interesting preacher of the
=
model Christian minister and pastor" His
heart was most tender and sympathetic; his
sympathy for those in any kind of trial or dis
tress was never known to be appealed to in
vain. Very many beside the editor of this col
1mn have rejoiced to call him a true friend,
and can say:
None know him but to love-
None name him but to praise.n
He graduated at Princeton in 1S4l, and at the |
theological seminary in lS46; was ordained in
S4S while serving the Burlington, n. j.. .Churcn;

came pastor of the church from which he now
resigns 1t then had 250 members, now nearly

out of it. The good doctor has made happy or
sad 6S2 couples, baptized 962 children, preached
nearly 3,0eO sermons His church has given
'605. 900 for benevolent objects and used $780,
700 for its home expenses. Beside his many
pastoral duties which have bever been neg

racts and newspaper articles. Surely if any
shall receive as their reward the 'well done of

ended none will be more worthy than Rev.
Theodore Lidyard Cuyler, d. D., whose days
