Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
Feb. 27. Saturday evening. Only these few shillings have come in since
Tuesday evening, so that, having had to pay away several small sums
besides the housekeeping expenses, since Tuesday, nothing is in hand
towards supplying the matrons with housekeeping money next Tuesday.--
Received this evening from C. C. 5l., 6s. 6d. and anonymously from
Totness 1s. 6d. worth of postages.
Feb. 28. Today came in still further from the Hot-wells 3s. 6d., and
10l. as the profits of shares which the donor has in a certain concern.
How kind of the Lord to help us thus so seasonably in our poverty!
March 1. By work and knitting of the Orphans 1l. 4s. 8d. and from E. N.
10s.
March 2. By sale of articles 8l. 10s. 6d., and by sale of a Report 4d.
From H. C. as "A thank-offering to the Lord" 1l. From Manchester 1l.
From London 13s. From Staffordshire 1s.--Thus by this evening the
Lord has again sent in during the past week 29l. 8s. 11 1/2 d., whereby I
had enough to advance the house-keeping expenses to the matrons of the
four Orphan-Houses for the coming week, and to meet some other
expenses.
March 3. Received 6s. 7d.--March 4. 1l. from the neighbourhood of
Stroud, as "a thank-offering to God for partial recovery from
sickness."--Also from Bath 5l.--A gentleman gave anonymously to the
governess of the Infant Orphans 2l.--I also received the following
letter today: "Dear Sir, When my dear brother John died, he had one
shilling and fourpence halfpenny owing to him which he intended for the
Orphans. As I received it today, I now send it to you. He said 'Jesus
will never forsake the Orphans.' M. W." The paper contained 1s. 7 3/4
d. and a quarter of a gilder. This legacy came from a dear boy who I
hear died in the faith.--March 5. From Clevedon 2s. 6d.--March 6.
The proceeds of an Orphan-box 7s. 1d.
March 7. Only 8l. 17s. 9 3/4 d. had come in since the 2nd, and the day
after tomorrow fresh supplies will need to be given to the matrons for
house-keeping, Under these circumstances I received this morning 150l.,
of which the donor intends 100l. for labourers in the Lord's vineyard
at home and abroad, and 50l. for other work in my hands. Of this 50l. I
took 25l. for the Orphans, and 25l. for the School--Bible--and Tract
Fund. Thus we are helped afresh.--There came in besides from C. C.
6s., from a lady 1l., and anonymously 1s. 4d.
March 8. This morning I received still further from Falmouth a bank
order for 4l. from a brother "As a thank-offering to the Lord for
bringing him safely back to his native land;" 2l. of this amount is for
the Orphans, 1l. for Brother Craik, and 1l. for my own personal
necessities. Also 10s. from an Orphan-box, and 10s. from a sister.
