The Preaching Tours and Missionary Labours of George Müller (of Bristol)
Müller, Susannah Grace Sanger
Müller, George, 1805-1898
After leaving it, we returned to Gettysburg, and in the evening a
meeting was held at the College Church, when Mr. Müller addressed the
students at Pennsylvania College, the students of the Theological
Seminary, and a large number of other persons for an hour and 20
minutes. On June 25th, we rose at 5, and leaving Gettysburg by the 6.45
train, reached New York the same afternoon, where we remained until
Thursday, the 27th, and on the afternoon of that day, at 2 o'clock,
sailed in the "Adriatic," (White Star Line,) for Liverpool. On Sunday
morning, June 30th, Mr. Müller gave an address from John xiv. 2, 3, to
the cabin passengers, ship's officers, and a few steerage passengers in
the saloon, and held a conversational meeting likewise in the afternoon.
On the following Sunday morning, July 7th, he gave another address in
the saloon, a service which closed his labours for that tour. In the
course of it he spoke 308 times in public, and we travelled nineteen
thousand and fifty miles by land and water altogether. At 3 p.m. we
landed at Liverpool, returned the following day to Bristol, and upon
arriving in an open carriage at the top of Ashley Hill at half past 4,
found a little army of the Orphan boys and girls, with almost all our
helpers at the Orphan Houses, waiting to receive us. There, as we slowly
drove along, the boys cheered heartily, and the girls waved their
handkerchiefs, determined (as a by-stander remarked) to give us "a right
royal welcome"; and at the entrance of New Orphan House No. 3, a crowd
of children closed around us, with loving, friendly greetings.
FIFTH TOUR.

_From Sept. 5th, 1878, to June 18th, 1879._
