box contained also a Spanish silver coin.
Evening. Precious and encouraging as it was to receive those little sums
this afternoon, still, as they came in when no money was in hand, they
were only an encouragement to look to the Lord for further supplies, but
were not enough to supply our need. However the Lord, in His faithful,
loving care over the work, and in His readiness to answer prayer, helped
further this evening. There came in 150l., of which I took 30l. for the
Orphans, and 120l. for the other objects.

Sept. 6. Since August 25th only 20l. 17s. 0 1/2 d. had come in. On this
account there was only 3l. 15s. 5 3/4 d. in hand, and tomorrow evening I
have again to supply the matrons with house-keeping expenses. In this
need, whilst walking in my little garden, I lifted up my heart to God
for means, when, in less than five minutes after, I received a letter
from Jersey, containing Five Pounds for the Orphans.--This evening I
received still further, from a little girl 3s., from Margate. 10d.,
anonymously 3s., and 3 dollars from a poor missionary brother in
Demerara.

Sept. 7. Further, by sale of articles 3l. 1s. 3d. through the boxes in
my house 2s. 6d., and through the boxes in the Orphan-houses, which our
need led me to open, 1l. 6s. and a medal. Thus I had for the need of the
coming week, at our usual prayer meeting this evening, 14l. 1s. 6 3/4 d.,
which I divided to the last farthing, with the firm persuasion and hope
in God, that, by the time it was expended, He would give more; for it
was not enough to meet all the demands of this week.

Sept. 8. the Lord has already sent in a little I received from Weymouth
2l. 10s.

Sept. 10. From a dentist in Bristol 10s.

Sept. 11. From a Christian brother, about 200 miles from Bristol, whom
the Lord has repeatedly used to help us in time of need, I received 20l.
What a precious help! We have now all we require for this week, and a
little towards the expenses of the next.--There came in also from
Droitwich 5s.

Sept. 12. Further: From C.C. 10s. 14d., from Clevedon 5s., from Clifton
5s., anonymously 2s., ditto 1s. 5 1/2 d.

Sept. 13. Monday morning. As there will be again money needed for
house-keeping tomorrow evening, and as I have not enough in hand to
advance for the expenses of a whole week, which I generally now seek to
do, I gave myself again to prayer for means, and, while I was on my
knees in prayer, there came a letter from Yorkshire, containing 5l. for
the
