"Dear Sir, --I have sent you ten pounds for the New Orphan-House. It is the Lord's doing. Seek not to know my name." Feb. 14. There came in 8s. 6d. by sale of articles. Feb. 15. Received the promise that on March 25th should be paid to me 500l. for the building of the Orphan-House. Feb. 18. Received 1l. from Sunderland. Feb. 19. The architect kindly came from London. He considers the ground to be most suitable as to situation, drainage, water, &c. --I received also today from a sister 5l. Feb. 20. Received from a sister 10s., and from a brother 5l. The brother told me that never in his life does he remember to have given any donation with so much real pleasure as this 5l. This is of God. I own God's hand in this. He it is that inclines the hearts of His dear children towards this service. May He only be pleased to continue to give me faith amid patience, and I shall most assuredly see this building erected to the praise of His name! Feb. 28. Two of the labourers in the Orphan-Houses gave 1s. each--Today the 500l. which had been promised on the 15th, was paid 25 days sooner than promised. I rejoiced in this speed; for I remembered that word: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest." March 2. Received 2 rings, 6 brooches, 2 mourning brooches, 3 old silver thimbles, a silver guard, a small gold chain, 4 pairs of earrings, 3 polished stones, a bracelet, 3 waist buckles, a silver mounting of a horn, and 2 candlestick ornaments.
