for the above 23 days, in
order that thus the Reader may see how, in large and small sums, and
from various parts of the world, the Lord is pleased to send in the
supplies.

I shall now give a few more instances in which the Lord manifestly, in
answer to prayer, helped us in the time of need.

Aug. 26. A Christian widow, having had left to her by a friend a few
articles, among which was a diamond brooch, sent it to me for the
benefit of the Orphans, and thus had the desire of her heart granted,
which she had often had, to be able to send something for them. On the
other hand, we receive it in answer to prayer, as there is very little
in hand for the Orphans, and as I have again and again asked the Lord to
lead His children to send me such articles for His own work.--There
came in also from Kirriemuir 1l.--From Kingsbridge a guinea piece,
also 1l. From the neighbourhood of Hyde 10s.

See, dear reader, how good the Lord is, and how ready to help in answer
to prayer! I was then 300 miles from the work in which I am more
especially engaged; but the Lord's assistance was to be obtained in
this distant place. Day by day I sought His help while absent, and day
by day I received intelligence from Bristol. And thus, my
fellow-labourers in Bristol, and I at Sunderland, were seeking the help
of the Lord, and He did condescend to listen to our supplications on
account of His dear Son, the Lord Jesus, and to grant us our requests.
