Müller, George, 1805-1898
During our visit to Brooklyn, Mr. Müller held a great number of
meetings. On Sept. 12th he spoke at the Fulton Street prayer meeting,
New York, and besides his regular preaching, visited Orphan and other
Institutions, ministered amongst the Germans (of whom there are about
ten millions throughout the United States), and continued actively
engaged in the Lord's service until Sept. 20th, when we went by river
steamer up the Hudson, to the city of Hudson, and attended a Convention,
where be gave three addresses. On the 22nd we returned to Brooklyn, and
on the following morning and evening he preached at Plymouth Church. On
the 24th he spoke again at the Fulton Street prayer meeting, preached in
German at Newark on the 25th, addressed the German students of the
Theological Seminary at Bloomfield on the 26th, attended meetings for
pastors, whom he addressed, visited a Homoeopathic Institution,
preached at Williamsburg, East Brooklyn, on Oct. 7th, and continued day
after day to labour uninterruptedly, until Oct. 20th, when we went to
Boston, after he had spoken in public at Brooklyn and the other places
above mentioned 50 times.
At Boston Mr. Müller began his work by speaking on Sunday morning, Oct.
21st, at Mr. Moody's Tabernacle--a large building which holds 7,000, but
where on this occasion, as rain fell heavily, the congregation was
comparatively small--and in the evening he preached at Park Street
Church. On Oct. 22nd he held a meeting at Berkeley Street Church, and
the next morning was called upon by an inquirer, a young man under deep
conviction of sin, who, having experienced an overwhelming consciousness
of his lost condition by nature, during the sermon of the previous
evening, was so affected that he could scarcely speak for weeping.
During our stay at Boston my husband held meetings also at Dr. Cullis's
Chapel; addressed the 350 young ladies at Wellesley College, 15 miles
from Boston; preached at the Clarendon Street Baptist Church, at Warren
Avenue Baptist Church, at Charlestown; spoke at Dr. Cullis's Faith
College; addressed 500 school teachers at Cambridge; preached at Dudley
Baptist Church, at Boston Highlands, at Clarendon Street Church; visited
Dr. Cullis's Institution for Consumptive patients, whom he addressed,
when Dr. C. remarked, "But for your example, all this would never have
been in existence"--and continued his labours until Nov. 3rd, on which
day we went to Newburyport.
