ve thought it best to bring the materials before
the reader is, to relate in distinct periodical chapters: a, How I have
been provided, simply in answer to prayer, with means for the support of
the various schools of the Scriptural Knowledge Institution, for the
circulation of the Holy Scriptures and Gospel Tracts and for the aiding
of Missionary work. b, How I have obtained means for the support of the
hundreds of Orphans under my care. c, How the Lord has led me to, and
provided me with means for, the building of a large Orphan-House, and
how I am now occupied in seeking to build a second still larger. d, To
state, periodically, a variety of miscellaneous points in connexion with
the operations of the Scriptural Knowledge Institution, in a separate
chapter. e, To give separately and periodically a chapter, for relating
matters connected with my own personal affairs or the work of the Lord
in my hands, not immediately connected with the Scriptural Knowledge
Institution for Home and Abroad. As, however, the whole book is intended
for the spiritual profit of the believing reader, and to show to those
who know not God, by His blessing, the reality of the things of God,
there will be found interspersed, throughout the book, such practical
remarks, as the subjects may seem to call for.

Aug. 10, 1844. In the greatest need, when not one penny was in hand, I
received 5l. from a brother at Hackney. I took half of this sum for
these objects, and half for the Orphans.

Sept. 7. Our poverty has been great ever since the accounts were closed
on July 14th. Our Tract and Bible stock is very small, and we have much
reduced it on account of sending supplies to Demerara. The rents for the
School-Rooms are becoming due, and other expenses are to be met. Under
these circumstances I received today with Philip iv. 6, the sum of 50l.
The donor writes that he thinks he is directed by the Lord to send the
money. How truly is it so! I took of this sum 20l. for the Orphans, and
30l. for these objects.

Oct. 1. This evening I received a bank order for 70l., to be used as the
Lord might direct me. This money came in most seasonably, as I am thus
able to pay to the six teachers who labour in the s
