The Preaching Tours and Missionary Labours of George Müller (of Bristol)
Müller, Susannah Grace Sanger
Müller, George, 1805-1898
thought to himself) "that must mean _any_body, and as _I_ am somebody,
that must mean _me_." He studied his New Testament with the deepest
interest; _believed_ what he read, and, through the teaching of the Holy
Spirit, became a decided Christian. Desiring to be more fully instructed
in the truth, he determined to go to the United States, and sailed for
Boston in a ship belonging to a Christian merchant of that city, who,
on his arrival, became so much interested in the young convert, that he
sent him to school at Andover, where he remained three years. After
that, he studied for three years at Amherst College, and then returned
to Andover, where, at a Theological Seminary--as he intended to become a
minister of the gospel--his education was further carried on. Finally he
returned to Japan as a missionary, and was the means of bringing his
parents and brothers to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. A
photograph of this young man was shown to us by President Seelye.
On Nov. 9th we took a drive to Mount Holyoke Seminary, South Hadley,
founded by Mary Lyon; a most interesting and important Institution,
where, in a large Hall, Mr. Müller addressed the 225 lady students and
their 25 teachers. We afterwards walked through the beautiful and
extensive grounds connected with the Seminary, were conducted through
its various Departments, and visited Miss Lyon's grave. From Amherst, on
Nov. 10th, we went to Providence, Rhode Island, where my husband
preached four times to large, attentive audiences, and--at the request
of the President--addressed the Students of the University. After
leaving Providence we proceeded to New York. There he spoke for an hour
at the Bible Union meeting, preached at the Baptist Central Church, and
at the Hall of the Young Men's Christian Association addressed a very
large German congregation, including about 30 German ministers. On the
15th, at the Presbyterian Church, Orange, New Jersey, he addressed the
teachers of 22 different Sunday Schools with reference to their service,
when the building was crowded with an immense congregation; and on the
16th, preached at a Baptist Church, New York.
