Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
June 4. From another Orphan in the New Orphan House, 6d. I received also
8s. 0 1/2 d., which the Orphans in the Girls' School of the New Orphan
House gave between them for the Building Fund.
June 5. Through one of the boxes at the New Orphan House twopence and
likewise one half-penny. These two small donations are very sweet to me.
I take them as a further earnest, out of the hands of my heavenly
Father, that He, in His own time, will give me the whole sum requisite.
Evening: From a sister from Norwich 2s. 6d. From a sister in the Lord in
Bristol 1s.
June. 6. Anonymously 5l. 0s. 1d., with these words: "Towards the
Building Fund of the proposed Orphan House 2l., for Brother Mueller 1l.
10s., for Brother Craik 1l. 10s."
June 7. Anonymously 1s. 6d.
June. 8. From a brother 5s.--From one of the Orphans formerly under
our care, a believer, a sovereign, of which she intends 5s. for the
Building Fund, 5s. for present use for the Orphans, 5s. for Brother
Craik, and 5s. for my own personal expenses. How sweet a donation!
Anonymously 1s. From "P." 1s. 6d.
June 11. Anonymously, from Sunderland 1l--A lady gave to my daughter
at my house 5l., but would not give her name.
June. 12. From Richmond 5l.
I have thus given minutely an account of the income during the first two
weeks, after my purpose had become known; but shall now only, for the
sake of brevity, refer to some of the donations.
June. 21. Twenty-four days have now passed away since I have been
enabled, day by day, to wait with a goodly measure of earnestness and in
faith upon the Lord for means; but as yet only a little above 28l. has
come in. But I am not discouraged. The less there comes in, the more
earnestly I pray, the more I look out for answers, and the more assured
I am that the Lord, in His own time, after He has tried my faith, will
send me larger sums, and, at last, all I need.
July 27. From a Christian gentleman in Clifton 20l. This donation has
much refreshed my spirit. I am, day by day, expecting help from the
Lord, in large and small sums as He pleases; but as He is trying my
faith, in that only so little as yet has come in, this donation has been
very precious.
Aug. 8. From a Christian lady in London 5l.--From Somersetshire 40l.
