A report on Theodore L. Cuyler and Young People's Christian Union

Leading Presbyterian minister and religious writer in the United States.

Cuyler, minister of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York, became aware of the success of the Y.M.C.A. to gather young men for prayer meetings, but that the Y.M.C.A. had not succeeded in organizing them for more sustained Christian work in the church.
