3d. [I transcribe from
the Income book. We think it right to turn every thing to account, so
that nothing be wasted, and that the expenses of the Institution be not
needlessly increased.]
Nov. 5. From Swansea 5s.--From Willenhall 5s.--From Bridgewater
5s.--From Worcester 5s. and 1s.--Evening, Saturday. Thus we have
had during another week everything needed.
Nov. 7. There came in yesterday 1s. from Stafford, and 3s. from Worksop.
-- To day from Kilkenny 1l.--When I had nothing at all in hand,
having paid out the last money today, and when more would be needed this
evening or tomorrow morning, I received this afternoon, from a most
unexpected quarter, 6l. This morning the matron had between 11l, and
12l. in hand for house-keeping expenses, but, by the time I arrived at
the New Orphan House, it had all been expended through unexpected
demands, so that she had had to add half a crown of her own. I had
received, however, this morning, at the very time while I was in prayer
for means, 1l. from Kilkenny, which, with, 9s. 3 1/2 d. besides, in hand,
I gave to her. Now this afternoon came in the 6l., and we have thus a
manifest answer to prayer. The Lord be magnified.--Evening. Through
Salem boxes 1s. Through Bethesda boxes 2s. 6d. Do. 6d. From P. 2s. 6d.
Nov. 8. From Guildford 1l. 1s.
Nov. 9. By sale of Reports 3s. 6d.--From Clonmell 9s. 5d.--Our
need of means is great, very great. The Lord tries our faith and
patience. This afternoon, a brother and sister in the Lord, from
Gloucestershire, called to see mc at the New Orphan House, before going
through the house. After a few minutes I received from the sister a
sovereign, which she had been requested to bring to me for the Building
Fund, and she gave mc from herself 1l. for my own personal expenses, and
1l. for tine Building Fund, and her husband gave me 5l. for the Orphans,
and 5l. for Foreign Missions. Thus the Lord has refreshed my spirit
greatly; but I look for more, and need much more.--Evening. By sale
of Reports 13s. 2d. By the boxes in the New Orphan House 3l. 1s. 10 1/2
d. I received also this evening from Walmer 10l., of which the donor
kindly wished 2l. to be used for the personal expenses of my family, and
the rest for missionary work and the support of the Orphans. I took
therefore one half for missions, and the other half for the Orphans.
