MULLER, GEORGE (1805-1898)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 962 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MULLER, GEORGE (1805-1898) ,
English
  preacher and philanthropist, was born near Halberstadt, Germany, on the 27th of September 1805, the son of an exciseman. He subsequently became a naturalized British subject. Educated in Germany, he resolved in 1826 to devote himself to missionary
work
 , and in 1828 went to London to prepare for an appointment offered him by the Society for promoting Christianity among the
Jews
 . In 183o however he gave up the
idea
  of missionary
work
 , and became minister of a small
congregation
  at Teignmouth, Devonshire. He contended that the temporal as well as the spiritual needs of
life
  could be supplied by
prayer
 , and on this principle abolished pew rents and refused to take a fixed salary. After two years at Teignmouth, Muller removed to Bristol, where he spent the rest of his
life
 . He devoted himself particularly to the care of orphan children. He began by taking a few under his charge, but in course of time their number increased to 2000, settled in five large houses erected for the
II
purpose at Ashley Down, near Bristol. The money required for the carrying on of this work was voluntarily contributed, mainly as a result of the wide circulation of Muller's narrative The Lord's Dealings with George Muller. When he was over seventy he started on a preaching mission, which lasted nearly seventeen years and included Europe, America, India, Australia and China. He died at Bristol on the loth of
March
  1898.
