A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller. Part 1

Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
We sell Bibles and Testaments to poor persons at a reduced price. But
while we, in general, think it better that the Scriptures should be sold,
and not given altogether gratis, still, in cases of extreme poverty, we
think it right to give, without payment, a cheap edition.
3. The third object of this Institution is, to aid Missionary efforts.
We desire to assist those Missionaries whose proceedings appear to be
most according to the Scriptures. It is proposed to give such a portion of
the amount of the donations to each of the fore-mentioned objects, as the
Lord may direct; but if none of the objects should claim a more particular
assistance, to lay out an equal portion upon each; yet so, that if any
donor desires to give for one of the objects exclusively, the money shall
be appropriated accordingly.
March 7. Today we have only one shilling left. Many times also in Bristol
our purse has been either empty or nearly so, though we have not been
brought quite so low as it regards provisions, as was sometimes the case
at Teignmouth. This evening, when we came home from our work, we found a
brother, our tailor, waiting for us, who brought a new suit of clothes
both for brother Craik and me, which a brother, whose name was not to be
mentioned, had ordered for us. March 8. Our brother brought us this
evening also, from the same friend, a new hat for each of us.
March 10. Some time since, a brother who had been brought to the
knowledge of the Lord through our instrumentality, having been previously
guilty of habitual drunkenness and other open sins, requested with tears
our prayers on behalf of his wife, who, like himself formerly, was still
given to drinking, and who grew worse and worse. About ten days, after he
had spoken to us, it pleased God to begin a work of grace in her heart, in
answer to the many prayers of her husband, and this evening she was added
to us in fellowship. There have come many instances before us, since we
have been in Bristol, in which unbelieving partners have been given to
believing ones, in answer to their prayers; yea, even such as had
threatened to murder their wives, or leave them, they would still continue
to go to our chapels.
