thus I
have found it to be, and thus do I find it to be, the longer I live.
Only there must be real trust in God, and it must be more than merely
using words. If we trust in God, we look to Him alone, we deal with Him
alone, and we are satisfied with His knowing about our need. Two things
I add, as I write my experience and the Lord's dealings with me for
the profit of the saints.

1. During the last year I resolved, that, by God's help, I would seek
to be more than ever a channel for the Communication of God's
bounties, and to communicate to those in need, or to give to the work of
God. I acted according to the light which God gave me, and He
condescended to make me His steward in one way or another far more
abundantly than ever before. Would we wish to have means intrusted to us
by the Lord, or to succeed in our trade, business, profession, etc., we
must be truly desirous of being His stewards, and only His stewards.
Read what I have written at length on this subject within the last
twenty pages of the third part of this my Narrative; and, if you have
read it before, read it yet again.

2. In looking over my journal, I find that during this year also I was
more than once without a shilling, yea without a penny, though my income
was about 500l.

April 29, 1846. Today my beloved wife and myself had the inexpressibly
great joy of receiving a letter from our beloved daughter, while we are
staying in the Lord's service at Chippenham, in which she writes that
she has now found peace in the Lord Jesus. Thus our prayers are turned
into praises.

About 18 mouths before this I began especially to pray for the
conversion of my dear child, and the Lord soon after seems to have begun
to work in her heart. I knew little of her state of mind before
receiving her letter, for I did not wish to force anything upon her of a
spiritual character, but leave her to be attracted by the loveliness of
the things of God. After hearing from her in April, 1846, she was not
received at once to communion, but, being so young, I judged it
desirable to watch the work in her soul. Towards the end of the year,
however, my fellow-labourers being fully satisfied, she was baptized and
received into communion, when she was 14 years and 3 months old.

Supplies for the School-Bible--Missionary and Tract Fund, sent in
answer to prayer, from May 26, 1846, to May 26, 1848.
