two shillings and a franc piece; the third a pair of ear-rings, a
brooch, a fourpenny piece, half a franc piece, and an old sixpence.--
About half an hour, after I had received these three little parcels, a
gentleman, who did not give his name, left at my house two sovereigns
and one shilling. About half an hour after that, a lady called and
wished to put some money into the box at my house. I do not know her
name. But God knows her, and influenced her in answer to my
supplications. May His blessing rest upon her and the unknown gentleman
who left the 2l. 1s.! When the box was opened, it contained a paper with
half a sovereign. Thus the Lord so kindly in this remarkable manner has
helped us in this our time of need, and we have now again all we need
for the present.

Evening. Still further help. About two o'clock this afternoon a
lady from London, who about a year ago had read the Narrative of the
Lord's dealings with me, in passing through Bristol left a sovereign
at my house for the Orphans, feeling that she could not go on without
doing so.--This evening also I received a letter from Scarborough
with five pounds. Also 1l. came in by sale of articles this evening, and
2s. 6d. as a donation.

Aug. 22. I have received still further today from C. C. 2l. 3s. 3d.,
from Wolverhampton 10s., and from a brother in Bristol 1l. 1s. Thus
altogether 14l. 5s. 3d. has come in during these two days.

All, who have spiritual eyes to see, cannot but observe in reading these
facts--1st, the reality of dealing with God Himself directly; 2, the
blessedness of trusting in Him; and 3, His most particular providence.

Aug. 23. I prayed still further for means, as I shall need to give a
fresh supply to the matrons for house-keeping tomorrow evening, besides
meeting other expenses. This afternoon I received from a sister in the
Lord a sovereign, half of which she wished me to use for my own temporal
necessities, and half for the Orphans. Likewise. 10s. as profits from
the sale of ladies' baskets.

Aug. 24. Today came in by sale of articles and Reports 2l. 15s. 10 1/2
d.

Aug. 25. Wednesday. Last evening I was able to advance only a part of
the week's house-keeping expenses to the matrons. Today, when I had
nothing in hand, a sister in the Lord brought her Orphan-box, which
contained 10s. 6 3/4 d. in donations, and likewise 9s. 4d. as the
proceeds from the sale of musk plants, reared and sold by her for the
benefit of the Orphans. The
