work up to May 26, 1846. 40l. 7s. 10d. was expended
of the Funds of the Institution on this object, from July 14, 1844, to
May 26, 1840.

3. From July 14, 1844, to May 20, 1846, was laid out for Foreign and
Home Missions the sum of 595l. 7s, 9d. Of this sum was spent for Foreign
Missions 447l. 17s. 9d, which was divided among 15 brethren and sisters
who labour in British Guiana, one brother and sister in Jamaica, 2
brethren in India, one brother in Prussia, and 3 brethren in
Switzerland. The remainder, 147l. 10s. was divided among 14 brethren who
labour in England without any salary, and in dependence upon the Lord
for their temporal supplies. During no period previously was so much of
the Funds of this Institution spent on Missionary work, which arose from
the fact, that, the more I corresponded with brethren who laboured in
the word and doctrine in foreign lands, the more I saw how much they
stood in need of assistance, and thus, my heart having been led out in
prayer to God on their behalf, that He would be pleased to send me
means, whereby I might be able to assist them, He was pleased to do so.
This led me to purpose, as God should give me grace, to be still more
mindful of them in future, and to seek to be able still more to assist
them. The same was the case with regard to those brethren who labour in
England, but who have no salary or stipend, but trust in the living God
for the supply of their daily necessities; I did long to help such
brethren, and had no doubt that God would enable me to do so.

When I now, whilst preparing this fourth part of my Narrative for the
press, look back to this period, how greatly has God helped me since
then even in this particular; for, of late years, he has enabled me to
spend on Missionary objects about seven times more than during the
period now referred to.

4. There was laid out for the circulation of tracts, from July 14, 1844,
to May 26, 1846, the sum of 50l. 9s. 9 1/2 d., for which Fifty-two
thousand and three such little publications were bought, which, with
5315 in hand on July 14, 1844, makes 57318, of which number 40565 were
circulated The total number circulated from Nov. 19, 1840, to May 26,
1846, amounts to 99647.

5. There were received into the four Orphan-Houses, from July 14, 1844,
to May 20, 1840, 30 Orphans, who, together with those who were in the
four Houses on July 14, 1844, make up 151 in all. Of these: 1. One child
died. 2. One boy left the Instituti
