On Feb. 14th, we had a long drive to Marshall, 12 miles distant, and
then continued our journey by rail to Kalamazoo, 35 miles from Marshall.
Here Mr. Müller preached twice at the First Presbyterian Church, and
held two union meetings, one at the Wesleyan and the other at the
Baptist Church. On the afternoon of Feb. 8th, he gave an address also
at Mount Holyoke Seminary for Ladies, which stands upon a hill in a
beautiful situation, at a little distance from the town. On Feb. 19th,
he held a meeting for the 135 students of Kalamazoo College, and on the
20th we left for Chicago, 142 miles from Kalamazoo.
There my husband preached at the First Congregational Church on Sunday
morning, the 22nd; addressed about 2,000 Germans at Mr. Moody's
Tabernacle in the afternoon; held German meetings at Farwell Hall, on
the evenings of the 23rd, 24th, and 25th; and on the 26th gave a
farewell address to the Germans of Chicago at Moody's Tabernacle in the
evening. On Feb. 27th, at an evening meeting connected with the Sunday
School Teachers' Convention for Cook's County, held at Farwell Hall,
which was attended by delegates and superintendents from Chicago and
other places; Mr. Müller addressed 1,000 Christian workers for about an
hour, and was followed by Major Whittle and Mr. Jacobs, who also gave
addresses. On Sunday, Feb. 29th, my husband preached at the Tabernacle
in the morning, from 2nd Tim. iv. 7, 8, with great help and power, and
spoke in the afternoon on the Second Coming of Christ, from the parable
of the ten virgins, at the same place.
On the evenings of the 1st and 2nd of March, he preached again at the
Tabernacle; held a meeting at the Second Presbyterian Church on the
evening of the 3rd, gave an address at the lecture room of the First
Congregational Church on the 4th, and on the 5th held a farewell meeting
at the lecture room of Dr. Goodwin's Church. Before our departure the
German pastors stated that his ministry had been made a great blessing
to their congregations.
On March 6th we left Chicago for Milwaukee, the commercial capital of
Wisconsin, 85 miles distant, which contains a population of 130,000, two
thirds of whom are Germans. On the following day (Sunday) Mr. Müller
preached both morning and evening at Immanuel Church, held a meeting on
the 8th at Plymouth Congregational Church, and on the evening of
Tuesday, March 9th, addressed a mass meeting of Germans at the Second
Congregational Church. During our stay at Milwaukee, he held three other
German meetings, and on the evening of the 11th preached at the
Methodist Episcopal Church, which was his last service in that city.
