., after I had supplied the day before yesterday the
means for the house-keeping expenses for this week. Today I received
information, that to a sister in Switzerland had been given Fifty Francs
for the Orphans. Thus the Lord is in every way showing that He is
mindful of us.

April 29. Saturday. The expenses of today, in addition to those for
house-keeping, which had been met last Tuesday evening for a whole week
in advance, reduced our little stock of means to only a few shillings.
In addition to this, Tuesday is approaching, when again about 20l. will
be needed. And now see, dear reader, how seasonably the Lord helped us
again, and that from most unexpected quarters. This morning I received
One Hundred Pounds from a brother, who is himself depending upon God for
daily supplies whilst labouring in word and doctrine, but who has lately
come into the possession of this sum, and who does not think it right to
lay up treasure upon earth. Of this 100l. he wishes me to take 10l. for
my own personal necessities, to give to brother Craik 10l., and to take
80l. for the Orphans. Of this 80l. the sum of 50l. has been put to the
Building Fund, and 30l. has been taken for present use for the Orphans.

19s. left to me for the benefit of the Orphans by the late Mrs. B., an
individual whom I do not remember ever to have seen in my life, and whom
I only know by name. Observe this particular providence! At a time of
need, of great need of means, this legacy comes in. The will may have
been made years ago, and the testator has been dead several months; but
just at this time, when not only the 20l. are needed next Tuesday for
house-keeping, but other expenses of about 30l. more are to be met in a
few days, this legacy comes in.--Today also I have received besides,
10l. from Wiltshire, 1l. 4s. from Cumberland, 10s. from Birmingham, and
1l. from a donor in Bristol. Thus in one day, in a time of great need,
62l. 13s. has come in, besides 50l. for the Building Fund.

May 11. 10l. 2s. has come in since April 29th. This morning I received
from a lady at a considerable distance 16l., and from Wandsworth 5l.
These two donations came in especially in answer to prayer, not so much
for immediate need as it regards house-keeping, but on account of other
heavy expenses which are shortly to be met. I have also repeatedly asked
the Lord of late, if it may please Him to send in conside
