as not mistaken; and thus another
precious proof is furnished to the believing reader of the truth of that
word: "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be confounded."

On the very first day of this new period I received from a sister in the
Lord 6l. Another sister gave me 3l., the price of a piece of work done
by her. Thus, as the Lord commenced this period, so He was pleased
generally day by day to send me something, either in small or large
donations. I can, however, only refer to a few instances, to save
space.

Between May 26 and June 30, 1850, God was pleased to send in 193l. 4s.
5d., so that I had more than enough with the balance left in hand, to
meet all the expenses.

July 1. Paid an account to a Christian brother, and received 10l. back
from him for the Orphans. More than 3l. came in besides.

July 2. Received 170l., of which I took 80l. for the Orphans, the rest
for the other objects. 17l. 10s. 1d. came in besides.

On Aug. 16th I had purposed to leave Bristol for a time, having been for
two years and four months uninterruptedly there, in the midst of more
work than I had ever had before. I went, not because I was quite unfit
for work, but in order that, labouring for a little while in a different

when going to take lodgings in the country, a Christian, residing at a
distance, whom I met, by God's ordering, no doubt, gave me at the
Railway station, just before starting, 50l., of which I took half for
the Orphans and half for missionary purposes. On the 15th I received
110l., of which 100l. was intended for missions, and 10l. for the
Orphans; and also on the same day 120l. Both donations were from
considerable distances. Besides this I received several small donations,
so that within three days, from the 13th to the 16th, came in about
300l. While absent from the work, from Aug. 16th to Sept. 13th, I was
able to help by my prayers. This was the heaviest month in the way of
current expenses. During no month, all the sixteen years and five months
previously, had there been so much expended for current expenses, as in
August, 1850; but, by what was in hand on August 1, by what came in, as
just related, and by all the many smaller donations, we were most
comfortably helped through. While absent I was also enabled to wait upon
God for means for the work, besides seeking His blessing in other
respects. That this was not in vain, was most evi
