nce and how
especially kind, as tomorrow evening again nearly 20l. will have to be
advanced for house-keeping!

June 20. 81l. 8s. 4d. had come in since May 26th. Without any difficulty
I had been able to meet all the expenses as they occurred; but now all
our money was gone, and this evening I had again to advance the means
for a week's house-keeping, whilst there was nothing in hand. Now
observe, dear reader, how the Lord helped me! Whilst I was in the very
act of beseeching the Lord for fresh supplies, two sisters in the Lord
called, who desired to see my dear wife for a few minutes. It was for
the purpose of giving her fifteen pounds for the Orphans.--About half
an hour after, a brother from Devonshire called, who, on leaving, gave
me 5l. for the Orphans. This evening I received still further from
Norwich 1l. 1s., together with an eye-glass and a parcel of clothes.
There was received also 1s. for Reports. Also a Christian brother from
Barnstaple gave me half a sovereign. Thus I was able to meet the
house-keeping expenses for the coming week, and to order 2 cwt. of soap,
which was needed, amounting altogether to 20l. 10s., and have 1l. 2s.
left. The day began and I had nothing, and yet the Lord enabled me to
meet all its demands, and I have 1l. 2s. over.

June 21. The Lord is already beginning to give fresh supplies towards
the need of the coming week. This morning was sent to me from Essex a
large silver mug. There has come in further today from Bath 5s., by sale
of Reports 1s., by sale of a book 1s., from South Molton 2s. 6d., from a
lady near Bristol 5s., and through an Orphan-box 11s. 6d. and a silver
thimble.

June. 23. From Merriott 14s. 4d., from Dundry 5s., through A. S. A. 1s.
6d., from a sister 5s., by sale of Reports 3s. 4d, by sale of articles
1l. 4s. 10d., by the children's knitting 4s. 6d., and from the Isle of
Wight 14s. 7d.

June 25. Anonymously from Teignmouth 5l., through Bethesda boxes 6d.,
ditto 2d.

June 26. From L. M. 1s. 1d., brother F.'s Orphan-box 1s. 1d., by
profit from the sale of ladies' baskets 10s., anonymously 1s., ditto
6d., ditto 1d.

June 27. By sale of articles 17s. 3d., from Clifton 10s., from a sister
10s., through a box in my room 10s., from Tiverton 5s., and through the
boxes in the Orphan-Houses 4l. 5s. 2d.--Thus we have bad again this
evening, in answer to prayer, all the means required for the
housekeeping expenses of the coming week, and have a few shillings
left.
