Theodore L. Cuyler"Some time ago when in a mine, looking through its dark corridors, I every now and then saw the glimmer of a moving lamp, and I could track it all through the mine. The reason was that the miner carried it on his hat, — it was a part of himself, and it showed where he went. I said, "Would that in this dark world every miner of the Master carried his lamp to show where he walks."

"As long as we work on Gods line, He will aid us. When we attempt to work on our own lines, He rebukes us with failure."
"I never yet have heard of a good man having fallen when he was trying to do Christs will and trusting on Christs help. Every fall without one exception came from venturing upon sinful ground or from venturing upon self-support."
"When we read or hear how some professed Christian has turned defaulter, or lapsed into drunkenness, or slipped from the communion table into open disgrace, it simply means than a human arm has broken. The man has forsaken the everlasting arms."
"The master will not keep His hand under our arms when we go on forbidden ground. Presumptuous Peter needed a sharp lesson, and he got it. That bitter cry at the foot of the stairs bespoke an awful fall. How many such are rising daily into Gods listening ears."
"The most heaven-like spots I have ever visited, have been certain rooms in which Christs disciples were awaiting the summons of death. So far from being a "house of mourning," I have often found such a house to be a vestibule of glory."
"The Christian who will sit with sealed lips when his Master is assailed, when religion is attacked, when wickedness is broached and defended, when truth is denounced, is a denier of his Lord, as guilty as Simon Peter in Pilates hall."
