This Hygienic Institution consists of one large main building, and a
number of smaller detached residences, which belong to it. Here, "all
the natural agencies, such as air, water, food, sunlight, electricity,
exercise, rest, and recreation are brought into use for the restoration
of the sick, and obedience to the laws of nature is enjoined, as one of
the first requisites for recovery."
On the morning of May 27th, Mr. Müller gave a farewell address to the
inmates of "Our Home;" at half past 3 we left for Rochester, and in the
evening went on to the Sanatorium, at Clifton Springs, 90 miles from
Dansville. There he preached at the Chapel on the evening of the 28th,
conducted family worship on the mornings of Saturday the 29th, and
Sunday the 30th, and preached on the evening of the 30th at the Chapel
to a large congregation. On Monday evening (May 31st) he preached again
at the Chapel of the Sanatorium, gave a farewell address at the same
place the following morning; and, at a little prayer meeting in the
evening, we were both commended to the Lord for our approaching voyage
to England.
As the time for our departure from the United States had now arrived, on
Wednesday, June 2nd, at 9.22 a.m., we started (viâ Syracuse, Richland,
and Watertown) for Cape Vincent, at the north-east extremity of Lake
Ontario; reached our destination at half past 6, and, embarking in the
boat which was waiting, after a pleasant little voyage of eleven miles
across the lake, landed at Kingston at half past 8, and went to the
"British American Hotel."
On the following morning we rose at half past 3, went on board the
steamer "Spartan" and started for Montreal. The vessel was crowded with
passengers, but, the weather being fine, the voyage was delightful.
After leaving Lake Ontario, we passed through the "Lake of the Thousand
Islands" (as the first 40 miles of the river St. Lawrence are called)
surrounded by the most beautiful scenery, reached Ogdensburg in a few
hours, and at 4 o'clock went down "the Rapids," a dangerous passage,
formerly considered impracticable, but now, by the help of Indian
pilots, successfully accomplished. In the evening, at the close of a
long day's voyage, we arrived at Montreal, changed steamers there, and
after a favourable night passage, on Friday morning, June 4th, at half
past 7, landed at Quebec.
On the evening of that day Mr. Müller preached at the Hall of the Young
Men's Christian Association, but there was no time for him to hold
further meetings before our departure for England.
