Aug. 19. From Shirehampton 5l.
Aug. 20. From Mirfield 2l. Also 150l. came in today which, being left at
my disposal by the donor, as most needed, I took the whole of this
amount for the Building Fund, having sufficient means in hand for the
current expenses of the various objects of the Scriptural Knowledge
Institution.
Aug. 30. From M. S. 30l., of which the donor desires 20l. to be used for
missionary objects, and 10l. for the Building Fund. The donor writes:
"My present inducement to remit this is, that God has lately prospered
me in business, and I had been putting by for this and a few other
similar purposes, intending to make bequests in my will, but am
convinced that this is the best course to pursue, if not the only
justifiable one, with what I can spare from my business and other
necessities."

for present use for the Orphans, and 15s. for missionary purposes.--
From a poor Christian widow in London 1s., with 1s. for present use for
the Orphans.--I am day by day labouring in prayer for this object,
and with a goodly measure of fervency of spirit, by the grace of God;
and am day by day looking out for answers. These sums last recorded are
but small, yet they tell me that my Heavenly Father is not unmindful of
my supplications, and of those of His dear children who help me with
their prayers, and that, in His own time, He will send me more, and also
large sums. I magnify His holy name that He does not in the least allow
me to question either His power or His willingness to give me all that I
shall need; yea, my soul is as assured that I shall have this my request
fully granted, unworthy though I am of it, as if the whole amount were
already in my hand.

Sept. 5. From the neighbourhood of Keswick 1l.--From Hull 1l.--
From Shrewsbury 20l.
Sept. 10. As yet the Lord delays sending in larger sums; but I am
looking out for them, and am confidently expecting them. This delay is
only for the trial of my faith; after He has tried it, He will help me.
