HeartCry was established upon many of the principles of George Muller, mainly his practice of not sharing needs with people, but a dependence and devotion to God alone to act upon His children to supply the means for His ministry.

The first American edition of the Life Of Trust was published in 1860, under the editorial supervision of Rev. II. L. Wayland, D.D. His work was performed with rare judgment and skill. From the " Narrative " of Mr. Miiller, in four parts, the last published in 1856, and from the four " Annual Reports," issued in 1857, 1858, 1859, and 1860, he condensed into less than one-fourth of the space a comprehensive view of the life and work of Mr. Miiller, omitting nothing of essential value. The repetition from year to year of similar events, incidents, and illustrations, made the reduction an imperative necessity. He divided, also, the Narrative into chapters, and prefixed to each chapter a brief statement of the leading subjects introduced. By such judicious editorial labor, the American edition was made more attractive than the English works from which it was condensed. It was more compact for use, involved fewer repetitions, and supplied a Table of Contents, by which the reader could be guided. The work has had a large and steady sale, and many Christian hearts have been led by it to a stronger faith in the Living God.
