l. together with a gold brooch. There arrived also a parcel
from Stowmarket containing the following little sums; 6d., 7s. 6d., 2s.,
2s. 6d., 10s., 6s., and 5s. There came in also from Bath 18s. for
Reports. Thus I received altogether that day 7l. 5s. 6d., whereby I was
enabled to order 8 cwt. of rice, as I was informed the evening before
that our store of rice was exhausted.

Aug. 24. By knitting of the children 2s. 3d.

Aug. 25. By sale of Reports 1s., and from F. B. B. 2s. 6d.

Aug. 26. Saturday. Next Tuesday evening again a considerable sum will be
needed for house-keeping, whilst at the beginning of this day I had
nothing yet towards meeting this demand. Now observe the kindness of the
Lord in helping me again bountifully this day. I received from a sister
at Tottenham 2l., from Norton St. Philip's 10s., from a village near
Leeds 5l., from Southwell 10s., from Edinburgh 21l., of which the donor
kindly wished me to take 6l. for my own personal expenses, and 15l. for
the Orphans; and from Thornbury for Reports 10s. 6d., as a donation, 2
old three-penny pieces and 20 copper coins, also 5s. from another donor
near Thornbury.

Aug. 27. A half-sovereign was received, but the place of the donor is
not to be mentioned; from an aged Christian woman 3l. and a pair of
silver shirt buttons; and by sale of Reports 10s.

Aug. 28. From a sister as the profit from the sale of ladies' bags 6s.
6d., anonymously 2s. 6d., by sale of Reports 12s., from Weymouth 2l.,
also 4s., 1s., and 1s. 6d., and from Ryde 1l.

Aug.29. Anonymously from Torquay 1l. There came in also by sale of
articles 17s. 6d., by sale of Reports 10s. 6d., and from a sister 2s.
6d.--Thus, by the help of God, we have again received by this Tuesday
evening 42l. 3s. 9d., while last Tuesday evening there was only 11 3/4 d.
left. How kindly has the Lord therefore, in answer to our supplications,
increased "the handful of meal in the barrel!" Thus I have been enabled
to advance the needful sum requisite for the house-keeping expenses till
next Tuesday evening, and to meet several extra expenses. The remainder
of the money has been put by for rent, and towards meeting the current
expenses connected with the apprentices; and I am now again, without
anything on hand, looking to the Lord for fresh supplies.

Now observe, dear reader, how again the Lord helped at this time also,
