ow, how glad I should be that the whole was thus sent
on before me! . . If yourself or dear brother Craik (to whom give my
love in Christ) are at all in need, scruple not to take five pounds
each.

Yours in the Lord Jesus,

I took the whole amount for labourers in the word and doctrine. My soul
does magnify the Lord for His condescension in listening to my
supplications, and, in answer to them, sending me means, and thus
allowing me more and more to help missionary brethren. During the last
five weeks I have sent again to them about 300l., but I long to be more
than ever their servant. What the donor says about "the money going
before him," is in reference to his having now spent two properties for
the Lord.

Sept. 27. Still further abundant help. Received from a new donor 200l.,
which, being left at my disposal as most needed, I took of it 100l. for
the Orphans, and 100l. for these objects.

Oct. 9. The Lord condescends to use me more and more as His steward.
Today I have again received 200l., which might be used as most needed. I
have therefore taken of it 100l. for the Orphans, and the other half for
these objects.

Oct. 28. Since Oct. 9th many small donations have come in, chiefly for
missions; now today I received again 200l., of which I took one half for
the Orphans, and the other half for these objects. By these donations
(large and small) the Lord enables me to send more and more help to Home
and Foreign labourers. During the last seven weeks, only little,
comparatively, has come in for these objects, while several hundred
pounds have been expended; yet, through the rich abundance which the
Lord had sent me before, I have not only had no lack of means, but had
still about 300l. in hand, before this donation was received today.
Nevertheless it was very sweet to receive it as the fruit of earnest
prayer for several weeks, as so little, comparatively, had come in
during the last seven weeks.

Dec. 18. This evening was given to me 90l. As the donor stated in the
course of conversation, that he felt especially interested about those
brethren who labour in the Gospel in various countries, whom I seek to
assist, I took of this sum 60l. for that object, and 30l. for the
Orphans.

Jan. 4, 1851. This evening I received Three Thousand Pounds, of which I
took half for these objects, and half for the Orphans, as the disposal
of it was entirely left to me. I am thus enabled more and more to
enlarge the
