Besides these two Cathedrals, Saragossa contains many curious old
Moorish houses and ancient monuments, including the Aljaferia, now a
fort, but formerly a Moorish palace. As we walked through the streets,
almost every one turned round to have a good look at us as strangers;
and occasionally some children followed close behind, desiring to have a
thorough gaze at the walking curiosities from a foreign country.
In the evening, Mr. Müller preached again at Mr. Gulick's Church, and on
the following morning (Dec. 31st) we rose at half-past 4, in order to
start early for Madrid. The journey was extremely tedious, and, after
stopping at every one of the 35 stations, in the evening, at 10 o'clock,
we reached our destination, where Mr. Fenn (an English missionary) was
kindly waiting to receive and to conduct us to the Fonda Peninsular,
near the Puerta del Sol, about two miles from the station. The next
morning (Jan. 1st, 1879), at 10 o'clock, a procession passed along the
street consisting of boys carrying lighted tapers; soldiers, priests,
and men bore a large figure of the Virgin, robed in crimson satin, with
a crown upon her head; whilst a small image of the Saviour was carried
immediately _behind_ it. The men in this procession were bareheaded, and
all the passers-by took off their hats.
In the evening, at a coffee meeting at Chamberi, Mr. Müller addressed a
gathering of Spanish Christians, with translation by Mr. Fenn. On the
afternoon of Jan. 2nd, we attended a meeting of Christian Workers, to
whom my husband gave a short address, and in the evening he preached at
Chamberi. At a gospel service held the following Sunday morning at
Chamberi, he preached again; spoke in German in the afternoon at Pastor
Fliedner's Church, and in the evening preached at Chamberi a second
time, with translation into Spanish. The next day a meeting of school
teachers was held at Mr. Fenn's house, where Mr. Müller gave them a
short address, and in the evening he attended the first of a series of
prayer meetings at Mr. Fliedner's Church.
