The Preaching Tours and Missionary Labours of George Müller (of Bristol)
Müller, Susannah Grace Sanger
Müller, George, 1805-1898
After leaving this city, Milford, Massachusetts, was our next resting
place, where four meetings were held; and on Nov. 13th we left for
Amherst. Here, on the following afternoon, at the College Chapel, Mr.
Müller addressed 339 students; in the evening, at the Congregational
Church, he preached to a crowded congregation, and the next morning
attended a pastors' meeting, when he addressed fifteen of his fellow
labourers in the ministry, whom he sought to encourage in their service
for the Lord.
From Amherst we went to Northampton, where, at Smith's College, he
addressed 260 of the lady students. In this town. President Edwards
resided for many years, and the Church, at which he ministered, was
pointed out. On Nov. 18th we paid a second visit to Mount Holyoke Female
Seminary, South Hadley, founded in 1837 by Mary Lyon, where, that
evening and the next morning, Mr. Müller addressed the 250 lady students
who belong to it. From this Institution, many godly young women have
gone forth as missionaries; and some Christian school-teachers of note,
were trained and educated at Mount Holyoke. On the evening of Nov. 19th,
my husband preached at South Hadley Church, early on the morning of the
20th, he gave a third address to the young ladies at the Seminary, and
on the forenoon of that day we left for Hartford, Connecticut, 52 miles
from South Hadley, where he preached six times, and addressed thirty of
his brethren in Christ at a pastors' meeting. He held three meetings
also in this city for the Germans.
On Nov. 27th we went to New Haven, Connecticut (the seat of Yale
College, founded in the year 1700); and whilst there, through the
courtesy of the President and of the University chaplain, Mr. Müller had
opportunities of addressing a considerable number of the students, for
whom he held two meetings. This was an important service, which he
gladly undertook, having heard of great blessing resulting from his
labours amongst the students of Colleges, Theological Seminaries, and
Universities, both in Europe and America.
At New Haven he preached twelve times, and once at Fair Haven in the
vicinity. Four of these meetings were in German; at one he addressed a
number of pastors, and at another spoke to 140 children belonging to the
Orphan Asylum.
