Müller, George
Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
day by day I brought this matter before Him, before I received the full
answer.--But to return to my journal. This donation of 50l. from
Melbourne, refreshed my spirit greatly, and quickened me yet further to
prayer.--On the same day I received from Sheffield 5l., and from
Tottenham 10l.
Oct. 31. Thirteen more Orphans have been applied for during this month.
Nov. 3. This evening I received a check for 300l. for the Building Fund.
-- I am continually looking out for help, and am sustained in waiting
upon God, and in being enabled daily, and generally several times every
day, to bring the matter about the Building Fund before Him. I know that
God hears me, on the ground of the worthiness of the Lord Jesus, and
that at last He will give me the full amount needed for accomplishing
this work. How the means are to come, I know not; but I know that God is
almighty, that the hearts of all are in His hands, and that, if He
pleaseth to influence persons, they will send help. In this donation of
300l., received this evening, I have seen afresh, how easily God can
send means. The donor, who sent it, was not even known to me by name
this day month; but, on Oct. 12th, he sent me 200l. for the Orphans, and
now 300l. for the Building Fund. Nothing had come in during the former
part of the day; still, I was looking out, and, when I returned from the
Orphan-House, found that this 300l. had arrived at my house. But I
expect far larger sums.
Nov. 11. From London three boxes and two parcels of books, containing
275 volumes in all, to be sold for the Building Fund.
Nov. 16. 50l.--From the neighbourhood of Stroud 10s.--From one of
the former Orphans 10s., being part of her first quarter's wages. Sent
as a token of gratitude.
Nov. 19. 200l., which, being left to my disposal, I took of it 100l. for
the Building Fund, 60l. for preachers of the Gospel at Home and Abroad,
20l. for the circulation of the Holy Scriptures, and 20l. for the
circulation of Tracts.
Nov. 21. From Malta 5l.
Nov. 27. "From the neighbourhood of Leominster, as a thank-offering,"
2l. Day by day I am waiting upon God, concerning this object. I firmly
believe that the Lord will give me all I require for the accomplishment
of it though I am utterly unworthy. I believe that I shall also have
large sums, very large sums, when the Lord has been pleased sufficiently
to exercise my faith and patience. Today I received 250l., the disposal
of which was left to me. I took, therefore, 125l. for the Building Fund,
25l. for current expenses for the Orphans, 40/. for the home and foreign
labourers in the Word, whom I seek to assist, 20l. for gratuitous
circulation of the Holy Scriptures among very poor persons, 20l. for
gratuitous circulation of Gospel Tracts, and 20l. for all the various
Day schools, Sunday schools, and the Adult school, which the Scriptural
Knowledge Institution either assists or entirely supports.
