nts bereaved of both parents, from their earliest days up
to the seventh year, and to provide them with food, clothing, needful
attendance, and Scriptural education.

b. It is intended to let the female children stay up to the seventh year
in the Infant-Orphan-House, and then to remove them to the Institution
already opened, till they are able to go to service.

c. It is also intended, as far as the Lord may help, to provide for the
boys, when they are above seven years, though we cannot at present say in
what manner.

In proposing the establishment of this second Orphan-House, I do it in
the same simple dependence upon God alone, as in the case of the former.
And feeling my own weakness, and knowing that it is not in my power to
give faith to myself, I ask the brethren to help me with their prayers,
that my faith may not fail.

6. To avoid misunderstandings, I would expressly state, that both the
last mentioned Institution, and the one already opened, are for orphan
children living in any part of the United. Kingdom.

June 8. I am still getting better. The abscess is now open. This
affliction has been, by the mercy of the Lord, an exceedingly light one.
Not one day have I had severe pain, and not one day have I been kept
altogether from working. June 9. I was able to go again today to the
Orphan-House, and to read the Scriptures with the children. This day came
three more children, who have made up our number, so that there are now
thirty in the house.

June 11. I am, by the mercy of God, still getting better, but, as yet,
unable to walk about. All this week I have been again enabled to go on
writing for the press. June 12. Today the Lord very kindly allowed me to
preach again, and tha
