the utmost, and avowed infidels even were moved to tears; as the
preaching too was the theme of conversation in the factories, public
houses, and in many private families, our visit to Lodz was prolonged
until April 15th, on which day we rose at a quarter before 5, and after
a long journey of 325 miles, arrived at Breslau (Silesia) at half-past
10 that night. There, during the three weeks that we remained, having to
give himself in earnest to the writing of the new Report, and to write
numerous letters of importance, my husband did not engage at all in the
public ministry of the Word. On the morning of May 7th, we left for
Dresden; arrived there at 5 minutes to 4 in the afternoon, and in the
evening went to the Scotch Church, where he preached in English to a
very small congregation compared with the multitudes who had thronged
the church at Lodz. On the 8th we proceeded to Hanover; remained there
until the 11th, and then, continuing our journey to England (after
passing one night at Cologne, a day and a half at Antwerp, and sleeping
at Calais, where we arrived at one o'clock in the middle of the night),
on the afternoon of May 14th, at half past one, embarked in the
"Calais-Douvres," and landed at Dover at 3 o'clock. From there we went
on immediately to London, where Mr. Mueller spoke seven times at the
Mildmay Conference Hall, preached once at Upper Clapton, and once at
Kilburn Hall, at the West End of London. On May 26th he held a meeting
in German, for a large company of Jews at Whitechapel, and on the 29th
we spent a few hours at Belstead, near Ipswich, where he gave an address
at a large school for young ladies; the service was attended also by
some of the clergy and many residents from the town and neighbourhood.
The meetings just mentioned brought this ninth tour to a close. In the
course of his nine missionary journeys, my husband has preached or
otherwise spoken in public about Two Thousand Four Hundred times, and we
have travelled sixty-eight thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight miles
by land and water altogether. On June 1st we left London at 3 p.m.,
reached Bristol at 5.36, and, upon our arrival on Ashley Hill, were most
heartily welcomed home, by a very large company of the Orphan boys and
girls, whose warm, affectionate greetings almost melted us to tears.
As these nine long tours are now ended, we desire most gratefully to
record our praises and thanksgivings to the Lord for all the mercies and
blessings connected with them, and earnestly commend ourselves to the
prayers of the believing reader for any future service of the same
character in which we may be engaged, desiring especially that help and
guidance may be granted us with reference to our approaching missionary
visit to India, for which country (God willing) we purpose to embark on
Sept. 26th of the present year (1883).
