sly through Bethesda boxes 2d. for missions.
Anonymously through Salem boxes 30l., with these words: "5l. for dear
brother Mueller, 5l. for dear brother Craik, 5l. for the poor, 5l: for
the rent, 5l. for missionary work, 5l. for the Scriptural Knowledge
Institution." The last mentioned 5l. I took for the circulation of
Bibles and Tracts, and for the various Schools.
April 15. Anonymously through Salem boxes 1d. for missions.
April 18. Received 250l., which, being entirely left at my disposal, I
took 100l. for the current expenses for the Orphans, and 150l. for
these objects. Thus I have especially the joy, in answer to my daily
supplications, of being able to continue to assist many home and foreign
labourers who labour in the word and doctrine.
May 13. Anonymously for foreign missions 1s.
May 23. Received 360l., of which the kind donor wished me to take 10l.
for my own personal expenses, and the 350l. were left to my disposal,
just as the work of the Lord in my hands might require it. I took
therefore one half for the current expenses for the Orphans, and the
other half for these objects, and I have thus the means to continue to
send help to home and foreign labourers.
May 27. From the same donor, who gave on Feb. 19th 120l., and on March
13th 100l., 20l. more for missions.
Aug. 4. During the last month I had sent to home and foreign labourers
about 150l., and many heavy extra expenses had been met for the Schools
and the circulation of Tracts, on which account our means for these
objects began to be reduced, when I received this morning 200l., which,
being left entirely at my disposal as might be most needed, I took for
these objects.
Aug. 9. Anonymously 5l. for home and foreign labourers in the Word.
Aug. 30. 50l. from the donor spoken of under May 27th. Half this sum lie
intends for the Orphans and half for missions.
Sept. 18. I received 100l., to be used as might be most needed. This sum
came after I had repeatedly asked the Lord for more means, as the money
in hand for these objects was now less than it had been for several
months. I took, therefore, the whole of this sum for these objects.
Nov. 3. The means were now again low, lower than they had been for many
months, when I received 200l., which, being left at my disposal as most
needed, I took entirely for these objects.
Dec. 7. Before our means were exhausted for these objects, when there.
