The Preaching Tours and Missionary Labours of George Müller (of Bristol)
Müller, Susannah Grace Sanger
Müller, George, 1805-1898
On Thursday, June 12th, at 9 a.m., we left Turin; crossed the Alps, viâ
the Mont Cenis Tunnel, and after a long, tedious journey reached Dijon
at midnight. The next day our journey was continued; and at half past 4
we arrived in Paris. There, on Sunday, June 15th, Mr. Müller preached
twice in French--at the Chapelle Malesherbe, Rue Roquépine in the
afternoon, and at the Eglise des Billettes in the evening. On the 17th
we went on to Calais and Dover; proceeded to London on the 18th, and in
the evening at half past 6 reached Ashley Down, Bristol, where, as
usual, a warm welcome from the Orphans and numerous kind friends awaited
us. This long Continental tour was abundantly marked by the goodness of
the Lord throughout the whole of its duration, and is always remembered
by us both with feelings of the deepest gratitude. On June 24th we went
to London for the Mildmay Conference, where Mr. Müller spoke on four
different occasions. At Cheltenham (where we stayed from June 30th to
July 2nd) he preached twice, and subsequently held two meetings at the
Guildhall, Bath. He preached once also at Clevedon.
SIXTH TOUR.
UNITED STATES AND CANADA
_From August 27th, 1879, to June 17th, 1880._
After remaining ten weeks in Bristol, where Mr. Müller attended daily to
business connected with the Orphan Houses and the other branches of the
Scriptural Knowledge Institution, and was occupied with his usual
ministry of the Word at the three Chapels with which he is connected;
having seen it to be the Lord's will that he should again visit the
United States, on Wednesday, August 27th, 1879, we went to Liverpool,
and, on the following afternoon, sailed in the "Germanic" for New York.
During the first few days of our voyage, we had very rough weather; but,
when the wind abated, the sea became calm, and our passage was a
favourable one upon the whole.
On Friday evening, Sept. 5th, at the request of the passengers, my
husband gave an address in the saloon, and on the 6th, at 4.20 p.m., we
landed at New York.
