metimes also from foreign lands, the donations
are sent, and most frequently from persons whom I have never seen,
whereby the hand of God is the more strikingly made manifest.--I
relate now how we were helped in answer to our prayers, this time, when
nothing was left.

Aug. 30. Wednesday evening. I had this evening a long season for prayer
for the work in which I am engaged, and sought also especially help from
God as to means for present use for the Orphans. While I was in prayer,
a parcel of clothes was brought from Weymouth for the benefit of the
Orphans, and shortly after another parcel. There were also sent 2s. 6d.
as a donation, and 1s. 6d. for Reports. A few minutes after I had
finished praying, I received an anonymous letter from Teignmouth,
containing 1l. and these lines; "The Lord permits me to send you the
enclosed. Dear brother, 'Only believe,' 'O how great is thy
goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou
hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men.'
Yours ever in Him."--How again has been fulfilled in my experience
that word "Only believe!" I am now looking out for more, for I shall
shortly again need many pounds, for the current expenses for the
Orphans.

Aug. 31. Received from Hull 1l. 8s. 10d., of which 16s. 3 3/4 d. is from
A. Z., who intends of this, 10s. for the Building-Fund, and the
remainder as most needed, which I took for present use for the Orphans.
A young man also sent through A. Z. 6s., and the remaining 6s. 6d. is
for Reports. This morning also a sister in the Lord from Malvern called
on me, who brought from herself and a few other sisters 4l., of which
10s. is intended by a sister for foreign missions, and the rest to be
used as most needed, which I therefore took for the Orphans. I also
received from Cheltenham 6s., and 10s. for Reports from Teignmouth, 10s.
ditto from Street, and 1s. and 6d. as donations from Street.

Sept. 1. Received from several believers at Bowness 3l. 0s. 6d., of
which they kindly intend 1l. for myself, 1l. for foreign missions, and
1l. 0s. 6d., for the Orphans.--From A. S. 5l.--By needlework of
the children 6s. 1d., from Shirehampton 5s., and from a sister 2s. 6d.
