Oct. 30. As this is Saturday, the money which came in yesterday was not quite enough for today. But this morning’s post brought, in answer to prayer, from Clapham 10s. and anonymously from Plymouth 10s. Nov. 1. Yesterday was received altogether 2l. 10s. 3d. Nov. 2. At a time of the greatest poverty 1l. was sent by a lady from Birmingham. About half an hour afterwards I received 10l. from a brother who had saved up 150l. and put it into a savings’ bank, but who now sees that, to devote this money to the promotion of the work of God tends more to the glory of the name of Jesus, than to retain it in a savings’ bank upon interest for a time of sickness or old age; for he is assured that should such times come, the same Lord, who has hitherto cared for him whilst in health and strength, and able to work, will also care for him then. The same brother gave me 3l. a fortnight since. This 10l. came in very seasonably; for though we had been able to provide for the absolute necessities of today, yet there was want in many respects, especially as a boy is just going out as an apprentice, who needs tools and an outfit. Nov. 3. This afternoon two little boys were received, with whom three little girls sent 13s. 6d. Nov. 4 and 5. 2l. 5s. ld. more was given. Nov. 7. When there was now again nothing at all in hand, there came in 2l., being the profit of the sale of ladies’ baskets; and also 3l. 1s. 10d. Nov. 8-11. 4l. 9s. 4d. was received during these four days. Nov. 12. This morning after the exposition of the Scriptures to the children, 10s. was given to me, at a time when there was not only nothing at all in hand, but when without some help we should not have had every thing that was really needed for today.
