On May 26, 1852, when the accounts were closed, there was left in hand
for these objects the balance of 45l. 5s. 7 1/2 d. Before this balance
was expended, I received, on May 27, 1852, from the neighbourhood of
Whitehaven, 2l. 10s. for missions. On May 29, from Belper 5s. 7d. for
missions. On May 30, through Bethesda boxes 2s. 6d. and 4d. for
missions. On June 7th, I received from Somersetshire. 10l.; and on the
same day I found that a Christian bookseller in London had, paid into
the hands of my bankers 34l. 14s. 4d., which he had been ordered to pay
to me, on behalf of a Christian gentleman, to whom this amount was due.
This sum I took for these objects. But the Lord helped still further.
June 8. 10l. from Y. Z.--June 13. From Y. Z. 33l. 3s. Through
Bethesda boxes for missions 1s. Ditto 1s. Through Salem boxes 1s. 8d.
From "P." 1s. Ditto 4d. --June. 15. From one engaged in the work 1l.
-- June 16. From Clifton 4d.--June 18. From W, W. 10l. "for
missionary brethren, labouring in dependence upon God for their temporal
supplies." Also 200l. came in, of which I took 60l. for these objects,
as stated with reference to this donation, in giving an account of the
donations for the Building Fund.--June 22. 500l. came in, as stated
under Building Fund, of which one-third or 166l. 13s. 4d. was taken for
these objects.
This is just a specimen of how the Lord helped me, week after week, to
meet the expenses during this period. About Six Hundred Pounds a month,
or above Seven Thousand Pounds during the year, I had to expend for the
various objects of the Institution; but I had sufficient to meet every
demand; and over and above I was helped by the Lord to increase the
Building Fund Nine Thousand Pounds above what it was the year before.
The current expenses of the Institution were never so great during the
previous nineteen years; but the extent of its operations, and the means
which the Lord was pleased to send in, were also never so great.
I stated, however, before, that I could not give here in detail an
account of every donation. I, therefore, single out a few more
instances, to show the manner in which the Lord helped me.
Aug. 4. The funds for these objects were now reduced to about 4l.; but
there was much required in order to be able to go on with the
circulation of the Holy Scriptures and Tracts, and to assist missionary
brethren; when I received this evening 200l., which was left to me to be
applied as seemed best to me. I took therefore one half for the current
expenses for the Orphans, and the other half for these objects, and was
thus again supplied for the present.
Aug. 14. 20l. for missions from W. W.
