Orphans. There was received also, by sale of stockings at the
Boys' Orphan-house, 7s. 7d.

Sept. 14. By sale of articles and stockings came in 3l. 10s. 0 1/2 d.
From Norwich 1l., and also 2s. 6d. Evening. By these sums we have
received altogether since last Tuesday evening 34l. 8s. 5 1/2 d. Thus I
have been able to supply the matrons this evening with what they need
for the coming week, and that which was left I put by for the rent and
current expenses connected with the apprentices, and am now looking out
for fresh supplies, as I have again nothing left towards the need of the
following week.

My dear reader, if you are tired of going on with this account of the
Lord's gracious interpositions for us week after week, or day after
day, I beseech you to lay it aside for the present. Take it up at
another time. This Narrative is not of an ordinary character. It does
not contain anecdotes for amusement; it relates no embellished tales; it
gives facts in which the hand of God is seen stretched out on our
behalf, as the result of prayer and faith. Seek to admire God, dear
reader, in this simple Narrative of Facts, which are related to His
praise, and to allure your heart more and more for Him, and which are
brought before you in all simplicity to encourage you and to stir you
up, if it may please God so to use His servant, to put your whole trust
in Him. I judge that it will be the more profitable way to read this
account by little and little.

Sept. 15. A brother, who is staying at my house, gave me a silver table
spoon and two silver dessert spoons. This is the beginning of fresh
supplies from God.

Sept. 16. From the neighbourhood of Glastonbury 5s. Also 5s. worth of
postages from Derby.

Sept. 17. A. Christian lady at Richmond, having received a copy of my
Narrative, read aloud in the hearing of another lady the account about
A. L. (page 156 to 160 of part I.) The lady who heard it read was so
touched by it, that she sent 10l. for the Orphans. God moved her heart
to send me this donation at a time when I had only a few shillings in
hand for the use of the Orphans!--There came in still further from
Clifton 10s., and from Taunton 5s.

Sept. 19. From C. C. 19s.--Sept. 21. Anonymously from Barnstaple 5s.

has been forwarded in the same way.--Also by sale of articles 1l. 8s.
