During this year was spent of the funds of the Institution, for
missionary objects, the sum of L2,000, 11s. 1d. By this sum forty-five
laborers in the word and doctrine in various parts of the world were to
a greater or less degree assisted. The total amount of L2,000 was sent
to these forty-five servants of the Lord Jesus in 264 different sums.
During this period L358, 7s. 3d. was expended on the circulation of
tracts, and 303,098 tracts and little books were circulated. I was
permitted to send out more tracts than _during the whole of the previous
ten years taken together_. Nor must it be withheld from the reader, as
matter for thankfulness, that the Lord was pleased to allow me to hear
again and again of instances of conversion, by means of the distribution
of these tracts during this period.
On May 26, 1850, there were 275 orphans in the new Orphan House on
Ashley Down, Bristol. On May 26, 1851, there were 300 orphans in the new
Orphan House. The total number of orphans who were under our care from
April, 1836, to May 26, 1851, is 488. There came in altogether during
this year L4,102, 14s. 91/4d. for the support of the orphans, and
L3,640, 9s. 13/4d. for the other objects; and, after having met to the
full every demand with reference to the orphans, the balance of L970,
13s. 113/4d. remained in hand. Also, after having entered into every
door which the Lord was please to set before me respecting the other
objects, and to do far more than during any one year previously, the
balance of L809, 10s. 6d. remained in hand on May 26, 1851. Verily we do
not trust in the Lord in vain!
_Without any one having been personally applied to for anything by me_,
the sum of L38,018, 4s. 61/2d. was given to me for the orphans _as the
result of prayer to God_ from the commencement of the work to May 26,
1851. It may be also interesting to the reader to know that the total
amount which was given as free contributions for the other objects from
the commencement of the work to May 26, 1851, amounted to L13,988, 11s.
91/4d.; and that which came in by the sale of Bibles and tracts, and by
the payments of the children in the day schools, amounted to L2,890, 9s.
113/4d.
It pleased the Lord greatly to gladden our hearts by the working of his
Holy Spirit among the orphans during this period.
Dec. 31, 1850. During this year there have been received into fellowship
57, and altogether, from the time that brother Craik and I began to
labor in Bristol, 1,313. The Lord has been pleased to give me, for my
personal expenses, L402, 4s. 5d.
