Can it be said, therefore, with good ground, that this way of carrying
on the work of God may do very well in a limited and small way, but it
would not do on a large scale? The fact brought out here contradicts
such statements.
June 23. This day the Lord in His great goodness, by a donation of One
Thousand Pounds for the Building Fund, has again encouraged my heart
abundantly to trust in Him for all that which I shall yet need, to meet
the remainder of the expenses connected with the fitting up and
furnishing the New Orphan-House, &c.
Jan. 23, 1848. Today I received 350l., concerning which the donor
expressed it as his especial wish that I should take 50l. for myself,
50l. should be for brother Craik, 50l., for the Employment Fund, and the
remaining 200l. as I pleased. I put this 200l. to the Building Fund, as
the donor had not given to this object before, having been prevented
through circumstances, and I knew he would like to contribute towards
it.
Jan. 30. I received from D. D. 35l., of which 30l. are intended for the
Building Fund, and 5l. for the School--, Bible--, Tract and Missionary
Fund.
March 19. From Scotland 10l.
March 21. From the neighbourhood of Dudley 9s. 8d.
March 28. "A thank-offering to the Lord from the Church assembling at
Bethesda Free Chapel, Sunderland, for Church mercies during the past
year." The amount is 21l. 10s. 10d.
April 29. From Cornwall 50l., from a most unexpected quarter, whereby
the hand of God is the more abundantly made manifest.
In the Report, published in 1848, the following account was given
respecting the New Orphan-House, which, except a few verbal alterations,
is here reprinted.
