opened yesterday afternoon, in which were found a sovereign,
half-a-crown, and a penny. This is all we have for today.

March 22, Saturday. We were able to get through yesterday with the 1l.
2s. 7d. found in the boxes; but in this way our stores become much
reduced. Now, however, was Saturday before us with its heavy expenses,
and there was nothing yet to meet them, when I went last evening to our
public meeting, to minister in the word. However, my soul has been in
peace, by the grace of God, during all this week and the last, though
again and again we have had nothing. I have reminded the Lord repeatedly
during this week, that it is His commandment to His disciples to be
without anxiety, and that I am so, because it is His commandment that I
should be so, but that now He also, on His part, graciously would be
pleased to continue to help me, as He had done hitherto. And now observe
how the Lord again has helped! After the meeting last evening, between 8
and 9 o'clock, when I had nothing at all in hand, towards meeting the
necessities of this day, which I had every reason to believe would be
several pounds, one of the labourers in the Orphan-Houses gave to my
wife 5s., Miss E. N. sent 10s., and a sister in the Lord, who arrived
last evening from Hull, put the following letter into the hands of my
dear wife, addressed to me:--

"Hull, March 20, 1845.

"Beloved Brother,

"I send you a small box of articles, which perhaps you can dispose of for
the Orphans, and 5l. 5s. 7d. in money. Accept it in the Lord's name as
a tribute of love from the brethren here. We shall be always glad to see
you if you travel this way.

"In haste,

"Yours affectionately in the Lord,

"* * * * "

pins, two brooches, three gold rings, a small gold seal, two gold
bracelet snaps, a pair of silver studs, a mourning brooch, necklace and
ear-rings, a silver pencil case, a stone cross and heart, a gilt

two muslin aprons, a lady's bag, four waist ribands, three pairs of
cuffs, a little scarf, three necklaces; 4l. 5s. 7d. for the Orphans, and
