t now there was only 15l.
left for the support of six day schools, two Sunday schools, an adult
school, and the circulation of Bibles and Tracts. Often also of late had
I entreated the Lord that He would be pleased to condescend to use me
still further as a steward, in allowing me to send help to the many dear
brethren whom I know labouring at home and abroad without any salary,
the need of many of whom I knew. Under these circumstances I received
this morning 150l. with the following lines:

"Dear brother,

"I have pleasure in sending you 100l. on account of labourers in the
Lord's vineyard at home and abroad, and 50l. for other work in your
hands.

"Yours very affectionately,

"* *."

Thus my request was in a measure answered with regard to home and
foreign labourers, and by taking half of the 50l. for the schools and
the circulation of Bibles and Tracts, I had also something for these
objects. The other 25l. I put to the Orphan Fund.

March 12. The 100l. for home and foreign labourers was soon portioned
out. The difficulty was not to spend it, but how to make it do, so that
all, who seemed to me to need, might get a little. On this account I
prayed still further during the last four days for means for home and
foreign labourers, and now this morning, when I arose from my knees,
after having again asked the Lord about tills matter, I received a
letter in which C. W. sent me 30l. for missionaries.

April 5. I have been praying day by day, ever since I was able during
the last month to send about 130l. to home and foreign labourers, that
the Lord would be pleased soon again to give me means for them, on
account of their great need; indeed, all our means were so exhausted,
that I had only just enough, for tomorrow evening, to meet the weekly
expenses connected with the six day schools, when this morning I
received 125l. for these objects. What a precious help! How is my heart
refreshed by this seasonable answer to prayer!--Almost immediately
after this donation had been given to me, I received a letter from
Demerara about the great need among the brethren who labour there, by
which intelligence the seasonable help, just received, has become still
more precious to me.

Thirteen other small donations came in between April 5th and May 13th,
and on May 13th I received 100l. for missionary purposes.

On June 8th was given 100l. for missionary purposes.

June 30. For the whole period, since the accounts were last
