Müller, George, 1805-1898
Before our departure from England to begin another Continental tour; on
August 8th, 1882, we went to Weymouth, where Mr. Müller preached four
times. On the 14th we left for Dover, crossed over by steamer to Calais
the next morning, and taking the train for Brussels which was waiting,
reached that city in the afternoon at 5 o'clock. On the 17th we
proceeded to Düsseldorf, where my husband held eight German meetings,
and on the 26th left for Neukirchen, a village about two miles from
Mörs. There, on Sunday the 27th, he preached in the morning at the
parish Church, and in the afternoon attended a meeting (held at a large
Hall, in connection with the dedication of the Mission House), at which
he was the chief speaker. His address occupied from 4 till 5 o'clock,
but the whole meeting, which was crowded to overflowing, lasted for
four hours. Early the following morning he conducted family worship in
the large dining-room of Pastor Doll's parsonage; where, besides its
inmates, a congregation from the village had assembled. At 10 o'clock we
left for Homberg in a carriage, crossed the Rhine by ferry steamer, and
went on by rail to Mülheim an der Ruhr, at which place, on the evening
of that day, he addressed a large audience of 1,600 persons at the
Vereins Haus. On August 29th, a religious festival was held at this
Vereins Haus, when the building was crowded in every part of it; and at
half-past 2, Mr. Müller addressed a multitude, numbering from 1,600 to
1,800. In the evening at half past 8, he spoke at the Vereins Haus for
the third time, and again addressed (if possible) a more crowded
audience than had assembled there in the afternoon.
On August 30th, early in the morning, we started for Cologne; proceeded
thence by rail to Bonn, and embarking on board a steamer for Coblentz,
went up the Rhine. After a pleasant voyage, surrounded by beautiful
scenery, at half past 5 we passed the Fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, and
in a few minutes reached our destination. At Coblentz we remained two
nights; on the morning of Sept. 1st continued our voyage up the Rhine,
and soon after 5 o'clock landed at Biberich, near Mayence, from which
place an open carriage conveyed us to Wiesbaden, five miles distant.
There Mr. Müller held eight German meetings, including six at the
Vereins Haus, an address at the Paulinen Institute of German
Deaconesses, and a service on Sunday morning, Sept. 10th, at the
principal German Protestant Church at Wiesbaden, a large building like a
Cathedral, where he preached at half past nine.
Wiesbaden is a beautiful spot, abounding in parks, avenues of trees,
fountains, flower gardens, etc., and is much resorted to by visitors. It
contains 30 different kinds of hot mineral springs, which supply 850
varieties of baths.
