ay
7l. 13s., and 1l. 2s., and had 12l. 17s, 2d. besides. This I gave to the
last penny for house-keeping, and had now literally not one penny left
in hand for the current expenses for the Orphans.

This evening I received, when I had nothing in hand: from Clifton 1l.
-- From a sister in the Lord in Bristol 2s. 6d.--Through Bethesda
boxes 5s., "from servants in Scotland,"--From Wiveliscombe 1l.--
From Clifton 10s.--Through the Chapel boxes 2s.--A pair of
silver-mounted spectacles and 2s. 6d. from Clifton.

Nov. 1. By means of those little sums, which came in last evening, I was
able to let the matron have further 2l. 17s. early this morning. Thus we
were able to meet this day's demands. There came in further today: By
sale of old clothes 6s. 4d., and from Launceston, by sale of Reports,
7s. 6d.--There was put into the letter box at my house anonymously,
1s. 6d., with these words: "I had worked hard for this money, and could
not get paid. A thought passed lately through my mind, if I ever get it,
I will devote it to some charitable purpose. To my surprise, without
asking for it, it is paid. I now send it for the Orphans."--Evening.
By sale of Reports 3s.--From Spaldwick 2s. 6d. and 1s.--From the
neighbourhood of Arundel 11s. 6d.

Nov. 2. From Hull 5s.--From Knapp 1s.--From Gosport 2l.--From
six servants at Hampton Court Palace, a parcel, containing a variety of
articles, for the use of the Orphans, or to be sold for their benefit,
with 4s. --Through the boxes in the New Orphan House 1l. 16s. 5 1/2 d.
Given also by a visitor from Cornwall 10s., Ditto by another 10s., Ditto
by another 2s. 6d., Ditto by another 1s.--By sale of Reports 6s.--
I was thus further able to advance last evening for house-keeping
expenses 1l. 0s. 4d., this morning 3l. 1s., and this evening 3l. 12s. 11
1/2 d. Thus, though we are living by the day, as it respects supplies out
of the hands of our Heavenly Father, yet we have lacked nothing!

Received further 12s. by sale of Reports.

Nov. 3. From Helensburgh 2s. and 6d.--From Bideford 12s.--From
Islington 2l.--From Clifton Park 5l.--By sale of some books 3l.
-- From a donor in Bristol 5l. From Norwich 5s.--Thus we have
wherewith to meet the expenses for today and tomorrow, and, it may be,
of the day after tomorrow. At all events, before this is gone, the
faithful Lord will send in more.

Nov. 4. By sale of old clothes 11s. 2 1/2 d.--From Whitby 1l. Ditto
5s.--From Bodmin 1s.--By sale of rags 7s.
