ports 5s. 4d. Boxes in the Orphan-Houses 1l. 2s.
By sale of articles 3l. 2s. 1d.--Thus by this evening, Tuesday, again
20l. 4s. 11 1/2 d, had been received, and as the expenses of the coming
week for house-keeping, together with some extra expenses during the
past week, did not amount to more than 18l. 1s. 6d., I had 2l. 3s. 5 1/2
d. left, which I put by for the rent and the current expenses for the
apprentices, and am again looking to the Lord for fresh supplies, and
again assured that He will help me.

Oct. 31. Since last Tuesday evening it has pleased God again to make it
abundantly manifest that we do not wait on Him in vain. Besides many
articles, there came in 24l. 4s. 8 3/4 d. As the money which was needed
for the house-keeping expenses for the coming week, together with a few
other small expenses which I had had to meet during the last week, did
not amount to more than 19l. 19s. 3d., there was more than 4l. left,
which I put by towards the rent and the expenses for the apprentices,
and hope in God for the next week.
