On the afternoon of that day we left Heimersleben, and proceeded to
Berlin, 110 miles distant, where, on Sunday evening, Nov. 26th, he
preached at St. Johannes Kirche, Alt Moabit, to a large congregation;
and held meetings at Christus Kirche the three following evenings. On
the 30th Nov. he spoke at the Vereins Haus, and on Dec. 1st preached at
the Hall of the Moravian Brethren. The afternoon of Sunday, Dec. 3rd,
was devoted to a meeting for 100 Sunday School children, at the house
of some Christian ladies; and in the evening at 6, he preached again at
St. Johannes Kirche, Alt Moabit. At a drawing-room meeting held at the
house of Mr. Gärtner, on Dec. 2nd, he addressed about 80 gentlemen and
ladies, and on the 5th preached at Jesus Kirche in the evening, from
John xiv. 13, 14. On the 6th and 8th he held meetings again at this
church; spoke at the Hall of the Moravian Brethren on the 7th; and on
Sunday, Dec. 10th, preached at Jesus Kirche in the morning, and at St.
Johannes, Alt Moabit, in the evening. The congregations at all these
services were generally large.
Early on the morning of the 11th we left Berlin, and travelling by rail
viâ Schneidemühl, arrived at Dantzic (a large, fortified town in
Northern Prussia, beautifully situated close upon the Baltic, 284 miles
from Berlin), in the evening at 6.45. Here Mr. Müller preached twice at
the Hall of the Moravian Brethren, four times at the Garrison Church,
and once at the Baptist Chapel. At Dantzic he found two of his old
Christian University friends, both of whom, after having been 50 years
ministers in the town, had celebrated their Jubilee. The intercourse he
had with them was of a very pleasant and profitable character.
On Thursday, Dec. 21st, we rose soon after 5; left Dantzic by an early
train for Dirschau, and arrived at Koenigsberg in the afternoon at
half-past 2. There, on Dec. 21st and 22nd Mr. Müller preached in the
evening at a large Hall to upwards of 500 persons; on the 23rd he gave
an address at the Moravian Church, and on the 25th (Christmas day) spoke
again at the same place. On the morning of the 26th (second Christmas
day in Germany,) at half-past 9, he addressed an immense audience of
3000 people at the Tragheimer Kirche, a large building which was crowded
to the utmost; and in the afternoon spoke at the Moravian Hall, where
hundreds could not get in for want of room. On the 27th he preached
again at the Tragheimer Kirche; and on the 28th held a meeting at the
same church, which was his closing one at Koenigsberg.
