"a second tree for the New Orphan-House," and 19s. for present use for
the Orphans.--The reader is here called upon to notice that, whilst I
had yet to obtain several thousand pounds for finishing the New
Orphan-House, all the other current expenses of the various objects of
the Institution were going on; and for none of all these pecuniary
necessities had I any regular certain income whatever, nor did I seek
help from any one but the living God only.

June 20. A brother and sister gave four silver table spoons, twelve
silver tea spoons, and a pair of silver sugar tongs for sale.

Aug. 7. From a sister in the Lord 200l.--With 2 Cor. viii. 12, 1s.
-- Anonymously from J. H. W. 5s., as "a thank-offering to the Lord for
His delivering goodness in sickness."--Anonymously 1s.

Aug. 13. From a brother 10s. This brother had worked overtime, and in
prayer he told the Lord that, if his employers gave him anything for it,
he would give it to the Building Fund, as he had a great desire to
contribute something towards this work, from which he had been kept for
want of means.

Aug. 16. A brother in the Lord having sold his little earthly property,
for the sake of spending the money for the Lord, brought 20l. of the
proceeds, of which he wished me to take 10l. for the Building Fund, and
10l. for the orphans.

Aug. 19. It is this day a twelvemonth since the foundation stone of the
New Orphan-House was laid, and now the building is up, and almost
entirely roofed in. Also part of the inside plastering is already done.
How can my soul sufficiently magnify the Lord for all the help which He
has been pleased to give, since this day twelvemonth!--As we are now
so far advanced, I have been increasingly entreating God, that He would
be pleased to give me the means which are yet requisite for fitting up
and furnishing the house; for even now I am completely depending upon
Him for considerable sums, to accomplish this. But while much is still
needed, I have never had, by God's grace, the least misgiving, as to
His willingness to give me all I need; on the contrary, I have been
assured that, when I actually required the money for the fittings and
the furniture, it would come. And now this day the Lord has again
proved, to me, how willing Ha is to act according to my faith; for there
was given to me this morning 887l. under the kind condition that I
should take of it 20l. for my own personal expenses, and the rest for
the Building Fund
