A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller. Part 4

Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
It is eight weeks today since we left Bristol, and we have still
abundant reason to say, that goodness and mercy have followed us every
day. This I have in particular also to say in reference to the last four
weeks, even since I wrote to you last. As we desire your thanksgiving to
the Lord for His goodness to us, and as we earnestly crave the
continuance of your prayers, I write again, especially also as I judge
that your love will be desirous of knowing further particulars about us
and the work of the Lord in my hands. Since I wrote to you, I have
continued to attend eight meetings a week, that is, three for exposition
of the Scriptures at our usual in meeting-place on Lord's day mornings
and Tuesday and Thursday evenings; the breaking of bread on the Lord's
day evenings (as we have altered the hour from 2 in the afternoon to 8
in the evening); two Scripture reading meetings on Monday and Wednesday,
at which, as well as at all our other meetings, there is given to every
brother as much room for prayer, as there may be a desire for it. Then I
attend two other meetings a week, among believers or inquirers who are
in connexion with the State Church, one on Monday afternoon at the house
where we live, which has increased from about ten to about forty. At
this meeting I lead entirely, and am the only speaker. Then there is
every Friday evening another meeting, at which about 150 persons
assemble, which I have continued to attend, and where I have regularly
spoken, together with other brethren. The shyness which there was at
first is evidently wearing off, and last evening, when I took leave of
them, having been there for the last time before our departure, the
brethren were quite cordial. In addition to this, the Lord has opened
another new and important field. At the house of an elderly lady of
title, of one of the ancient noble families of this kingdom, there is a
meeting for ladies who work for charitable purposes. This meeting I have
also been requested to attend for the purpose of expounding the
Scriptures, whilst the ladies work. I was there last Tuesday afternoon,
and shall be there again, the Lord willing, neat Tuesday. To all who
attend this meeting I have therefore an opportunity of giving a copy of
my Narrative in German, about forty in all, as well as a copy of the
eleven tracts which I have published, and thus the truth, with God's
blessing, may be carried into the higher circles of this city, if not of
this kingdom. Truly, the Lord gave, at the beginning of my sojourn here,
to everything apparently the death-blow, that He might give me a larger
field than I had had before. Still it is even now but little in
comparison with England, yet it is much for Germany. Indeed I have now
as much work day by day as I can do. Persons from the establishment come
to see mind converse with me, and I might visit as many as I have time
and strength for, and many more, and should be welcome.
