s work, so He
has helped me, and does help me, and, I doubt not, will help me to the

2. The house is intended to be built, so as to accommodate 140 Orphan
Girls above seven years of age, 80 Orphan Boys above seven, and 80 male
and female Orphans from their earliest days, till they are seven years
old, together with all the overseers and teachers, etc. that may be
needed. The Infants, after having passed the age of seven, will be
removed into the different departments for older boys and girls.

3. The plan of the building is, by the help of God, all but completed.
Scarcely anything more remains to be altered.

4. The building, however, will not commence till all the money, which is
required, has been received.

5. The land and house will be invested in the hands of about ten
brethren, as trustees, who shall be persons well known and of good
report.

6. Only such donations, ordinarily, will be put to time Building-Fund as
are expressly given for it. I should only depart from this my usual
mode, if the Lord by some very great abundance of means corning in, or
in other respects were to point out, that money not expressly given for
the Building-Fund, was to be appropriated to it. It is therefore
requested that donors will kindly state it, if they wish any donation
put to the Building-Fund.
