t most undeservedly, and much sooner than I could
have expected. June 14. This morning, brother C-r and I prayed unitedly,
chiefly about the schools and the circulation of the Scriptures. Besides
asking for blessings upon the work, we have also asked the Lord for the
means which are needed; for on July 1, 17l. 10s. will be due for the rent
of school-rooms, and, besides this, we want at least 40l. more to go on
with the circulation of the Scriptures, to pay the salaries of the
masters, &c. Towards all this we have only about 7l. I also prayed for the
remainder of the 1000l. for the Orphan-House.

June 18. We have had, for many weeks past, generally little money for our
personal expenses, which has been a trial to us, not on our own account,
but because we have thus been able to do but very little for the poor
brethren. Today, Saturday, we have 3s. left, just enough to pay for a fly
to take me to and bring me back from Bethesda tomorrow, as I am unable to
walk. This money we should not have had, but for our baker, a brother, who
refused today to take money for the usual quantity of bread, which we
daily take.

June 21. This evening brother C-r and I found, that the Lord has not only
been pleased to send us, through the offerings which have come in during
the last week, in answer to our prayers, the 17l. 10s. which will be due
for the rent of two school-rooms on July 1st, but that we have 5l. more
than is needed. Thus the Lord once more has answered our prayers.

June 25. Saturday. We have been again helped through this week, as it
regards our personal need, and have 3s. left, though we had many shillings
to pay for driving about. Now the Lord has put it into the hearts of some
of His children, to provide me with a fly every Lord's-day, as long as I
may need it.

July 1. Today a suit of new clothes was given to me, which came very
seasonably. May this fresh instance of the Lord's loving-kindness lead me
to love Him more; and may He also be pleased richly to reward those
brethren, who have thus ministered to my need! July 16. Today a brother
sent me a new hat, the seventh which in succession has been given to me.

July 28. For some weeks past we have not been able to pay the salary of
the masters and governesses a month in advance, but have been obliged to
pay it weekly. Brother C-r and I have lately prayed repeatedly together
respecting the funds, but we were now brought so low, that we should not
have been able to pay
