have _God Himself_ for their present and eternal portion! In the
afternoon we returned to Smyrna, and on the following day, at 3 p.m.,
Mr. Müller preached a farewell sermon at the Hall of the "Sailors'
Rest," where a large number of persons assembled to hear him.
The next day (Thursday, April 6th), in the evening, we left Smyrna by
steamer, reached the entrance of the Dardanelles the following
afternoon, crossed the Sea of Marmora during the night, and at a quarter
past 5 a.m. on Saturday, April 8th, reached Constantinople, where, at 6
o'clock, we disembarked, and, accompanied by a guide, walked up a high,
steep hill, to the Hôtel d'Angleterre, at Pera.
On the morning of Sunday, April 9th, Mr. Müller preached in German at
the Chapel of the Scotch Jewish Mission, and in the afternoon in
English, at the Presbyterian Church. On the 11th he spoke in English at
the Bible House, and the following evening preached again at the Chapel
of the Scotch Jewish Mission. On the 13th he addressed an Armenian
congregation, at the Bible House in English, with Turkish
interpretation, when about 450 persons were present.
The next day he spoke to the children of an Orphan Institution,
connected with the Scotch Mission, and on the 15th held a meeting for
two hours at the Deaconesses' German Hospital, intended especially for
Christian Workers. On Sunday (April 16th) we went to Bebek (a beautiful
village on the Bosphorus, five miles distant) where my husband preached
morning and afternoon in English, at the American Presbyterian Church;
and the following morning at Haskiog, near Constantinople, addressed the
children belonging to the school of the London Jewish Missionary
Society, the orphans of a small Institution, and the children of the
Presbyterian Jewish Missionary Society. The young people in these three
schools (about 700 altogether) were Jews. On April 18th he spoke in
French, German, and English, to three different departments of Jewish
Schools, belonging to the Scotch Jewish Mission; and on the 19th
preached in German at the Chapel of this Mission, to an assembly
consisting principally of Jews, from Lamentations iii. 22-26. On the
20th he had a congregation of 500 Armenians, whom he addressed with
Turkish interpretation, and this service was his last at Constantinople.
During our stay of twelve days (including a few meetings which have not
been specified) he spoke eighteen times altogether.
