The great secret of DIR. Cuyler's
power and popularity both as preacher
and writer, lies in the fact that he has
carefully avoided, as rule, purely
sectarian issues, as well as the contro-
versies over creeds and doctrines
which have rocked the theological
world in his time. o
For anyone who has seen DIR. Cuyler
recently and noted his erect carriage
and vigorous step, it is difficult to be-
lieve that he is over 70 years of age, but
such is the fact. He was born at
Aurora, on Cayuga Lake, N. Y, jan
uary 10, 1921 His fathers name was
B. Ledyard Cuyler, a gifted young law
yer who died at the age of 30. After
passing healthy and vigorous boy
hood he entered college at Princeton,
N. j., where he graduated with honors
in 1871. While mt college he united
with the church. After graduation he
met many eminent men in England
and elsewhere. He always kept his
eyes wide open and saw what was GO
ing on about him. During his travels
abroad he took notes, which at
the time were published as
Letters of Travel" DR., Newman
Hall, of London. mentions him
as the intimate friend who welcomed
him to his home and pulpit on his first
visit to America, as the one with
whom I have rambled amongst the
ruins of Rome and the historical scenes
of rural England, beside whom have
sat at many religious meetings, and
sometimes with those who indicated
the cause of American unity and free
dom in the dark days of the civil con-
fict." 1t was during revival at Lud-
lowville on Cayuga lake that he de-
cided to become preacher Of the gos-
pei. and soon after he entered Prince
ton seminary, where he graduated in
April, 1s48, and spent six months In
preaching in Wyoming Valley, Pa.
During the same year he became the
stated supply" of the Presbyterian
church in Burlington, N. j.. where
he remained three years, until the year
1s49.
In 1852 he accepted call to the Mar
ket Street Reformed (Dutch) church,
of New York, where he spent seven
more years with rich REVEALS in his
church. It was during this time that
he took prominent part in the great
religious awakening of 1858, and his
wonderful and untiring work during
that revival is not yet forgotten. In
1860 the newly organized Lafayette Av-
enue Presbyterian church, of Brooklyn,
elected him to be its first pastor. This
proved to be the browning work of
his life. There he spent thirty years
Of happy work preaching to one of the
largest churches in the Presbyterian
denomination. For some time it was the
largest and it continued to grow in
numbers and influence during the
thirty years DIR. Cuyler had charge OF
II. In April, $780,, he resigned the
charge of this large and prosperous
church to enter upon ministry 81

III FLOYD, Master"
How strangely this reads in these
after years! The old colored men of
to-day, now fast passing away, who
were slaves, look back upon the past
with amazement, and wonder why they
did not question by what right they
were made slaves?
But, being born in slavery, they knew
no other condition, and deemed IL to be
their natural state. 1t must now seem
to them as dream-but very sad one.
There seems not to be the joyous
laughter and merry ring in the song of
to-day as in the olden days Of slavery,
Then the negro had no cares for the
morrow When his days work was
done be spent the night in ''frolick-
ing;" and when sickness or old age
came he was taken care of for the
good service he had done. Now he
must himself provide for the future;
and, as he is natural spendthrift, he
never does, and when too infirm to
labor he suffers, starves and dies. As
a rule, the plantation negro practices
economy only when he has neither
money nor credit. His freedom has not
inspired him with ambition, and he
labors only that he may live, and just
enough to meet his immediate neces-
stiles. Nearly every neighborhood ID
oversupplied with doctors and preach
ers The doctors practice voodoism and
prescribe charms" or talismans, In
stead of medicine, which in many in
stances is more effective, as it inspires
faith in the superstitious patient.
When darby becomes too lazy to work,
he goes to preaching. Three or four
ministers of different denominations,
''hold forth" from the same pulpit, on
the same day and the same congrega-
ton. The collection is generally di-
vided. This mixing of dogmas saves
the congregatiation the trouble OF
wrangling over mooted points. Being
uneducated. they give their crude ideas.
and repeat the sermons of the white
ministers which they have memorized.

In Brooklyn, N. Y.

1t may be doubted whether any
preacher now living is more widely
known or more popular among all
classes of religionists, and among many
who have no religion at all, than DR..
Theodore L. Cuyler. for many years
pastor of the Lafayette Avenue Pres
byterian church, Brooklyn. 1t is not
so much as a preacher, but as writer
of religious books and of articles for
the religious press that DR.. Cuyler has
become known and admired through
out Christendom. Henry Ward Beech
er used to say that Theodore Cuyler
writes the best religious article of any
man alive" 1t is certain that there is
no important publication which treats
of religious subjects, weekly, monthly
or quarterly, of any denomination in
this country or elsewhere, that Is not
frequently enriched with the produce
tons of DIR. Cuyler's pen. He was en-
gagged thirty-fve years ago to write an
article every week for the Evangelist,
over his own name, and that engage
ment has been kept with scrupulous,
fidelity to the present date. It was
StdtSo hCSChtly Oh Oic dutnOTlCy OI LIE
Cuyler himself that In forty years he
has written $500 articles, an average
of almost two week for that time.
Many of his productions have been
printed in tract form in several Lam
guages, and it is estimated that in this
way certain Of them have had circu-
lation of several millions of copies. In
addition to this immense number Of
articles published in the papers, DR..
Cuyler has written large number of
books, many of which have had a wide
circulation. No less than thirteen vol
umes in all have been issued by him,
and perhaps the most popular have
been e'Heart Life, 1.-THE Empty Crib"

.As the lands Of these older states be-

use, the masters shipped their slaves to
the new states of Louisiana, Mississip-
pi, Texas and Arkansas. Sometimes
the master formed his "hands" in a
caravan, and, with their household ef-
sfects, tramped through the then wilder
ness to this new country where the
master began anew and soon became
wealthy upon their labor.
1.-The demand for slaves increased as
the rich country become more thickly
settled, and there arose a class known
;as negro traders" who purchased
slaves from the planters on these worn
out lands, and established nurseries"
for propagating slaves as II they were

house was selected for this slave
''farm," from which the Virginia dealer
would send his choicest negroes to
Norfolk or Alexandria, for shipment
south to New Orleans, Vicksburg OF
Natchez. At each of these cities he
had an agent, TO whom they were con-
signed. An agent also accompanied
the shipment, which was usually made
in sailing vessel, and sometimes on
foot. When cargo of 200 or 800 were
landed on the levee at New Orleans, a
double-line was formed on the wharf,
each having his bundle of clothing
swung over his shoulder on a hickory
stick. The agent marched them to the
, slave-mart-an old warehouse. The
men were dressed in that peculiar cos
tune, only worn when they were to be
sold-black fur hat, roundabout and
pants of corduroy velvet, with the
usual white shirt and red russell shoes
The women and children had no dis
1inctfve dress.
The dealer paid from 5000 to $500 for
the "boys," and from s4OO to 5000 for the
swomen-according to age, strength and
usefulness. He sold them at an ad-
vance of so or even 100 per cent.

great pride in their value, and were
