CHAPTER III.
PRECIOUS ANSWERS TO PRAYER.
PART I. In remarkable ways God helped Mr. Muller, as the narratives show.
the artist's first return april thirtieth eighteen fifty nine received the following letter from a considerable distance my dear christian brother i am the husband of mrs who sends you by this post the two sovereign peace how can we better dispose of this relic of affectionate remembrance than by depositing it in the bank of christ who always pays the best interest and never fails
now my best and spiritual counsellor i cannot express to you the exceeding great joy i feel in relating what follows i am an artist a poor artist a landscape painter about two weeks ago i sent a picture to bristol for exhibition just as i finished your book that was lent us
i most humbly and earnestly prayed to god to enable me by the sale of my bristol picture to have the blessed privilege of sending you half the proceeds the price of the picture is twenty pounds now mark immediately the exhibition is open god in his mercy mindful of my prayer sends me a purchaser i have exhibited in bristol before but never sold a picture oh my dear friend my very heart leaps for joy
i have never been so near god before through your instrumentality i have been enabled to draw nearer to god with more earnestness more faith more holy desires this is the first return god has blessed me with for the whole of my last year's labours what a blessing to have it so returned oh with what joy i read your book
The picture I speak of is now being exhibited in the Academy of Arts at Clifton, numbered in the catalogue, and the title is I cannot pay you till the close of the exhibition, as I shall not be paid till then, etc.
Of such letters I have had thousands during the last forty years.
The north wind changed into a south wind.
it was towards the end of november eighteen fifty seven when i was most unexpectedly informed that the boiler of our heating apparatus at number one leaked very considerably so that it was impossible to go through the winter with such a leak our heating apparatus consists of a large cylinder boiler
inside of which the fire is kept, and with which boiler the water-pipes that warm the rooms are connected.
Hot air is also connected with this apparatus.
The boiler had been considered suited for the work of the winter.
To suspect that it was worn out, and not to do anything towards replacing it by a new one, and to have said, I will trust in God regarding it, would be careless presumption, but not faith in God.
It would be the counterfeit of faith."
the boiler is entirely surrounded by brickwork its state therefore could not be known without taking down the brickwork this if needless would be rather injurious to the boiler than otherwise
and as for eight winters we had had no difficulty in this way, we had not anticipated it now.
But suddenly, and most unexpectedly, at the commencement of the winter, this difficulty occurred.
