George Muller.

THE founder of the Orphanage in Bristol, England, is again in the United States on a preaching tour. Mr. M. is a believer in the advent near. He is somewhat remarkable for his trustfulness in divine care and help. The following in regard to his business habits at home will be of interest to those who are acquainted with his success:—

“His morning hours, after his closet duties are over, are spent in his family, opening his letters, packages, etc., marking with his pencil and separating them into such divisions or classes that his three clerks or assistants can understand their respective duties. He reaches the Orphan houses between 10 and 11 o'clock; there he remains till 6 or 7 in the evening, attending to and overseeing a great variety of things. The amount of labor he performs is amazing, and the almost endless variety would render insane, one would think, most other men. Yet he is never ruffled, never looks anxious or out of temper—always calm and placid, and in a prayerful frame of mind, casting all his cares upon the Lord, who careth for him.”
