the truth, are mindful of this; but
others may not, perhaps, have sufficiently weighed the matter.

On March 10, 1846, I asked the Lord for still further supplies for
missionary purposes, and while I was in prayer a letter came from C. W.
with 20l. for missionary purposes. Thus also, about the same time, came
in, from the neighbourhood of Ludlow, 2l., and from Keswick 5l. for
Missions, besides other smaller donations for the same purpose.

It must not be supposed that these are all the donations which I
received for the carrying on these objects from July 14, 1844, to May
26, 1846; but those which are referred to came in under remarkable
circumstances, or, more manifestly, as answers to prayer.

I now proceed to give an account of the Lord's goodness in supplying
me with means for the Orphans, from July 14, 1844, up to May 26, 1846;
though here again only the most remarkable instances, on account of the
great number of cases, can be given.

Supplies for the Orphan Fund, sent in answer to Prayer,
from July 14, 1844, to May 26, 1846.

July 25, 1844. The need of today for the Orphans is 2l. 5s. As there
came in yesterday 2l. as the profit of the sale of ladies' bags, which
are made by a sister in the Lord for the benefit of the Orphans; also
two donations of 5s. each, through her; 5s. from a poor sister in the
Lord; and 1l. from Hackney, in all 3l. 15s.; we have 1l. 10s. left.--
In the course of today the Lord was pleased to send in the following
donations:--by the boxes in my house 1l. 10s., in nine small donations
16s. 11d., and the contents of an orphan-box, 3s. 01/2 d. This evening
also two Christian servants gave me the following trinkets:--a ring,
a gold pin, two brooches, and a silver toothpick. A precious gift,
because of its seasonableness, and because it gave me joy in seeing
these ornaments given up for the Lord's sake.

Observe, dear reader, only eleven day's after the accounts were
closed, we were again in fresh poverty, and had to go on day by day
waiting upon the Lord for the necessities of about 140 persons.

July 26. Only 6d. has come in today.

July 27, Saturday. July 1l. 14s. was in hand to begin the day with. With
two of my fellow--labourers I besought the Lord between nine and ten
o'clock this morning for help, when, at eleven o'clock came in, by
sale of articles, given for the purpose, 7s. 3d., by sale of Reports 1s.
by sale of ladies' bags 1s. 6d., and by two donations 4s. 6d. There
