Müller, George, 1805-1898
On Sunday morning, Dec. 14th, Mr. Müller preached at Elm Street
Methodist Church; and at the great Metropolitan Church, addressed an
immense congregation in the evening, from John xiv. 16, 17. His subject
was the indwelling and power of the Holy Ghost, and he concluded his
sermon with a word of warning to believers not to grieve the Spirit. The
unconverted were also solemnly reminded, that--"If any man have not the
Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." That evening we heard from Mr.
Clarkson (pastor of the Sherbourne Street Methodist Church) that on
Sunday morning, Nov. 9th, when my husband preached for him, there were
several conversions amongst his congregation. Referring also to himself,
he said--"Your ministry, under God, has greatly quickened me."
On Saturday morning, Dec. 20th, we left Toronto, and went, viâ Hamilton
and Niagara Falls, to Buffalo, on the shores of Lake Erie, in the United
States, 120 miles distant. There, on the following day (Sunday), Mr.
Müller preached at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in the morning,
and at the Central Presbyterian in the evening, where there was a "union
service." During our visit to Buffalo, he held meetings also at the Hall
of the Young Men's Christian Association, at Prospect Avenue Church, the
North Presbyterian, First Baptist, and Lafayette Street Churches, at St.
Peter's (a large German Church which was crowded to the utmost with a
mass meeting of Germans, 2,000 being present) at the new Church of the
Evangelical Association, and at Calvary Presbyterian Church. On Dec.
30th, at a meeting for pastors, he addressed about 50 for an hour and 10
minutes, who received him most affectionately, and on Jan. 4th, 1880,
preached again at St. Peter's in German to a vast audience of 2,000. In
addition to his English services, he held four large German meetings
altogether.
On Jan. 5th we left Buffalo, and returning through Niagara Falls and
Hamilton, went viâ Paris, to Woodstock, Canada, where, during our short
stay, my husband preached at the Baptist, Knox, and Methodist Churches,
and gave an address at the Baptist College to the students. During our
stay at Woodstock, a pastor from Hamilton related to us the following
interesting circumstance:--
