A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller. Part 4
Müller, George
Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
3. If we were to remove from Wilson Street, and obtain premises in the
country, we might have all the washing done at home, which now, for want
of room, can be only done in part. Thus the girls also would have more
laborious work at home, a point of great importance for them, so that
they would not feel so much the hardships connected with going out to
service.
4. The situation of Wilson Street is perhaps scarcely bracing enough for
strengthening the constitution of the Orphans, most of whom, being the
offspring of very diseased parents, require a very invigorating place of
abode.
5. The present situation is certainly not desirable for the teachers,
especially as, when their hours of work are over, they have no garden or
fields close to the house, immediately to go into for a little
refreshment of body; and for some of them it is too far to go to fields,
where they might have bracing air.
6. In times of sickness we are too confined in the houses in Wilson
Street. If there were less than 30 children in each house, the average
expenses for each child would be too great, it being desirable, as the
arrangements are now, that there should not be less than 3 labourers in
each house; and yet, if there are 30 children in each house, we are too
lull in time of sickness, as we have not a single spare room in any of
the houses. Now, though the Lord has during all these years most
mercifully helped us through such seasons, yet it has not been without
inconvenience, and without also, perhaps, having more of the children in
one room, at such times, than on account of health is desirable.
7. Even ordinarily, when there is no sickness, it would be desirable to
have more room.
