Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
Jan. 19. All our money for missionary objects, for the circulation of
Bibles and Tracts, and for the support of the various Schools was now
again spent, as only very little, comparatively had come in since Dec.
28th. The last money which I had, I sent off by the mail steamer to
Demerara, which left two days since. Under these circumstances, I
received this evening 20l., which I might either use for the Orphans, or
for missionary objects, according to the donor's wish. I took it for
missionary objects. But I am looking out for larger supplies, as I have
many openings, profitably to lay out considerable sums for missionary
objects, and for the circulation of Bibles and Tracts. It is remarkable,
that, while I have received from the donor of this sum from time to time
donations for the Orphans, I had not received anything for missionary
objects for a very long time. But I have again and again prayed for help
for this part of the work, and this point makes the answer to prayer
only the more manifest.
Jan. 21. After still further repeated waiting upon the Lord for means,
especially for missionary objects and for the circulation of the Holy
Scriptures and Tracts, I received today from Somersetshire 20l., of
which the donor intends 10l. for foreign missions and 10l. towards the
support of the Orphans.
Jan. 22. From London 4l. for missions.
Jan. 23. 50l., of which half is for missions, and half for the Building
Fund.
Jan. 26. 500l. was left at my disposal. I took the whole for these
objects.
This donation came in most seasonably, enabling me to go on helping
preachers of the Gospel, and also to go on with the circulation of
Bibles and Tracts.
March 17. Before all means were gone, when there was yet about 160l. in
hand, there came in again today for these objects 199l. 13s. 5d.
March 23. 200l. more came in today.
March 26. From three brethren 20l. for missions.--On the same day
from a missionary box at Old Aberdeen 2l.
May 12. The 26 donations which have come in for these objects, since
March 26th, were small. Today I received from Cornwall 50l., of which
the donor wished me to take 10l. for my own personal expenses; the rest
being left at my disposal I took the whole for these objects.
May 15. Received 20l. for missions.
May 19. When nearly all the means for these objects were exhausted, I
received 250l., of which I took for these objects 200l., and 50l. for
the current expenses for the Orphans.
Thus I have given some instances to show how the Lord was pleased to
supply me during another year.
Supplies for the support of the Orphans, sent in answer to prayer, from
May 26, 1851, to May 26, 1852.
