Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
Nov. 5. There was now again only about 5l. in hand for the support of
the Orphans, when I received 2l. 10s. for them, and 2l. 10s. for myself,
from a donor in London, whom the Lord has been pleased to raise up
during the last two years, and who since then has been often used as an
instrument in helping the work at times of need. A brother in the Lord
also gave me 5l. this morning, saying, "I have of late had the Orphans
much laid on my heart."--From Clifton 1l. 10s.--From H. C. 3s.
--From F. M. 5s.
Nov. 6. Further help. From the Isle of Wight 5s.--Through Bethesda
boxes 2s. 6d.--Ditto 6d.--From P. 1s.--Through Salem boxes 1s.
-- From a Gloucestershire Farmer 20l., of which he intended 10l. for
missions, and the other 10l. to be used as most needed. I took it for
the support of the Orphans.
Nov. 7. By sale of Reports 4s. 10d.--Anonymously from York 5s.--
Received back on paying an account 3s. 7 1/2 d.--From a relative of
one of the Orphans 1s.--Having had to pay out 18l. for house-keeping
expenses, and having had to meet a few little expenses besides, we had
again only about 5l. left, as was the case three days ago, when I
received this afternoon 5l. from a Bristol donor.--Also 1l. from
London.
Nov. 15. Our means were now again gone. We had scarcely anything in
hand, with very heavy expenses before us, when this morning a Christian
gentleman from Yorkshire called on me, and gave me 50l. for the current
expenses for the Orphans. This was a most precious encouragement to
prayer! There came in further today from Manchester 9s. 6d.--By sale
of Reports 11s. 6d.--Through the boxes in the New Orphan-House 2l.7s.
11d.--Returned on paying an account 3s. 1 1/4 d.--From Exeter 1l.
10s.
Nov. 22. A Brother in the Lord from Manchester came to see the New
Orphan-House, and gave 10l., which came in a time of great need.
Nov. 27. 100l. was sent in the greatest need, from a considerable
distance, of which I took 50l. for the Orphans, and 50l. for the other
objects.
Dec. 20. As since Nov. 27 only about 200l. has come in, I found this
evening that our means for the support of the Orphans were reduced to
10l. 9s. 8d, whilst our current expenses of late have been about 12l.
daily, on account of the high price of provisions. This led to earnest
prayer, that the Lord would be pleased to help us.
Dec. 21. The Lord has already sent a precious answer to the prayer of
last evening. I received today from a noble Lady 10l.--From
Devonshire 15l.--By sale of Reports 6s. 6d.--From Birmingham 2s.
-- By sale of a few coins, etc. 19s. 1d.--From Monmouthshire 8s.--
By sale of Reports 2s. 6d.--From Worksop 10s. 6d.--Returned on
paying an account 3s. 3 3/4 d.
Dec. 23. From Cheltenham 2s. 6d.--From London 10s.--From Clondegad
10s.--By sale of articles 3l. 16s. 5d. By sale of a Report 6d.--
From Edinburgh 5l.
Dec. 24. Anonymously 1l.--From Barking 6s.--From Blackheath Hill
6s.
Dec. 25. From B. S. 2s.--Through Bethesda and Salem boxes 7s.--
