Two large buildings have been erected, a third is in the
process of erection; the land on which they stand has been
purchased. The expense of the orphan work alone has
amounted to L133,528 sterling, and the expenses are daily
increasing.

The contributions by which these expenditures have been
met have been sent from every quarter of the globe. The
largest amounts have been, as might be expected, from
England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales; but to these may be
added the Cape of Good Hope, Mt. Lebanon, Demerara,
Newport, R. I., New York, Philadelphia, California,
France, Holland, Sardinia, Australia, etc., etc.]

I have referred to Mr. Mueller as if he were the sole agent in this work.
This, however, is by no means true. His co-workers in the Institution
are all of the same spirit as himself. Mr. Craik, a gentleman from

we learn another interesting fact. It seems that the late revival in
Ireland is indirectly connected with these labors in Bristol. A pious
young Irishman read "The Dealings of the Lord with George Mueller," and
received from it new views of the power of believing prayer. He felt the
need of prayer for the perishing around him, and determined by prayer
and conversation to labor for their salvation. First, however, he asked
that God would give him an associate. This prayer was granted. These two
then united in earnest prayer for some additions to their number. This
prayer was granted. In this manner a small company was united in asking
for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on their neighborhood. They devoted
themselves to prayer and to labor among the people by whom they were
surrounded. Their prayers were answered. The Spirit was poured out;
twenty-five souls were converted. Multitudes united with them in
supplication. They went from place to place, pra
