uickly given me an answer, and granted the desire
of my heart. I received this morning a donation of 117l. 2s. 7d., to be
used as the work of God in my hands might require. Of this sum I took
67l. 2s. 7d. for the Orphans, and 50l. for the other objects.

Aug. 1. From July 12th up to this day we were comfortably provided with
means; but this evening, at our usual prayer-meeting, I had only 8l. to
give to the four matrons towards the house-keeping expenses of the
coming week, which I did give in the full assurance that the Lord would
provide more by the time that this sum was expended, if not before.--
Now see how God at this time also helped in His faithful love, and
thereby proved that we did not call upon Him in vain. On the next day,
Aug. 2, I received from London 1l., from Buttevant 1s. 6d., from "a
Leamington grocer" 2s. 6d., from Bedminster 5s., and by sale of Reports
10s. 6d.--On Aug. 3rd came in by the sale of Reports 1s., from
Langport 7l. 4s., from a very poor widow 2s., and 8s. besides.--On
Aug. 5th was received from Mr. G. B. C. 1l. 1s., from Marbury 6d., from
Brighton 10s., from Ayrshire 1l., and from Newbury 1l.--On Aug. 6,
from the neighbourhood of Wotton-under Edge 7s., and by profit by the
sale of ladies' baskets 10s.--On Aug. 7th from a Christian lady
1l., by sale of Reports 1s., from a sister 10s., through the
Chapel-boxes 2s. 6d., and 6d., from Tockington 1l. 1s., through the
Orphan-boxes in my house 13s. 6d., from Northam 2l., and from Cork 1l.
On Aug. 8th by sale of articles 18s. 2 1/2 d. By sale of Reports 8s. Thus
I had everything which was requisite for the expenses of the past week,
and had this evening, Tuesday, even 7l. left to advance towards the
house-keeping expenses of the coming week. My hope and prayer is, that
the Lord will be pleased to send in more means before this is gone, as
it will only suffice till Friday morning.

Aug. 9. The Lord has been very kind today, and proved afresh that none
who trust in Him shall be confounded. There has come in by the sale of
Reports 1l. 13s. 10d., by sale of another book given for sale 9d., and
from Clevedon 10s., together with a pair of gold ear-drops, a buckle,
and a pencil case. This evening, while I was walking in my little
garden, lifting up my heart for further supplies for the work of God in
my hands, there was given to me a registered letter from Liverpool,
containing 20l. for the Orphans. There came also from Lymington 5s. Thus
