The Preaching Tours and Missionary Labours of George Müller (of Bristol)
Müller, Susannah Grace Sanger
Müller, George, 1805-1898
On Wednesday, May 3rd, we rose at 4, went by rail to the Piræus, and
there embarked for Kalamaki, on the Isthmus of Corinth, 40 miles
distant. At 11 o'clock we reached our destination, crossed the Isthmus
in a carriage (a drive of seven miles) and at Corinth, the other side of
it, went on board a Greek steamer, bound for Brindisi in the south of
Italy. At half past 1 we sailed from Corinth, and after touching at
Corfu on the evening of the 4th, on May 5th, at noon, landed at
Brindisi. From this town, viâ Foggia and Caserta, we went on direct to
Rome, arrived in that city on the 8th of May, and remained there until
the 18th.
During this our third visit to Rome, Mr. Müller held twelve meetings,
when he preached occasionally in English without translation, but
generally with interpretation into Italian. On May 12th we attended one
of Mrs. Wall's interesting meetings for Italian beggars (held once a
week), when Mr. Müller addressed them with translation by Mr. Wall. On
May 18th we visited Tivoli, 18 miles from Rome, and on the 19th went on
to Florence (our third visit to that city), where my dear husband had
five precious, happy meetings. There, it was our intention to have
remained longer, but finding it would be desirable that we should return
to England a little earlier than usual, on May 25th we left Florence for
Turin, arrived at Paris on the 27th, continued our journey to Dover on
the 29th, and arrived at Bristol on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 30th,
at half-past two.
