Müller, George
Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
In a previous printed account, a statement has been given of the success
with which the Lord has been pleased to crown the prayers of His servant,
respecting the establishment of an Orphan-House in this city. The subject
of my prayer was, that He would graciously provide a house, either as a
loan, or as a gift, or that some one might be led to pay the rent for one;
further, that He would give me 1000l. for the object, and likewise
suitable individuals to take care of the children. A day or two after, I
was led to ask, in addition to the above, that he would put it into the
hearts of His people to send me articles of furniture, and some clothes
for the children. In answer to these petitions, 184l. 2s. 6d. and many
articles of furniture and clothing were sent, a conditional offer of a
house, as a gift, was made, and individuals proposed themselves to take
care of the children, the particulars of which have been given in the
statement already referred to, dated Jan. 16, 1836. I shall now proceed to
show how, since that time, the Lord has continued to answer my prayers.
January 16, 1836, there was given 6d., six yards of calico, three plates,
a cup and saucer, and a jug. January 18, 4s. Jan. 19, a saucepan and
