g come into the possession of
10l. through the death of her mother, gave 1l. of it for the Orphans.

This sister in the Lord has since fallen asleep. Will she regret the
gift now? Our time is short, very short. Let every child of God stand in
the place of service in which He has set him, working while it is called
today, "for the night cometh when no man can work." Again and again,
while looking over my journal, I meet with names of donors, who have
fallen asleep. Shortly, dear reader, your turn and mine may also come.

Sept. 5. The boxes in my house contained 1l. 6s. There came in also by
sale of articles 5l. 1s. 8d., by sale of Reports 14s. 4 1/2 d., through
the boxes of the Orphan-Houses 4l. 14s. 9 1/2 d., and from a sister 10s.
Thus this evening, Tuesday, it was found that the Lord had sent in again
since last Tuesday evening, when there was nothing in hand, nearly 50l.,
so that I have been able to meet all the extra expenses of the week, and
to advance again this evening money for house-keeping for the coming
week.

Now see how the Lord helped further for the week after this.

over and above what is needed for house-keeping expenses for the coming
