Christian Reader, be encouraged by this! Do but trust in God with all
your heart, and you will find that you will not be confounded. Only let

various necessities.--I refer to a few more of the donations.

Orphans, and 20l. for the other objects.

Feb. 23. Received a very valuable gold watch, a gold watch chain, 2 gold

outgoings are very great.

May 26. Towards the close of this day it was found that the balance left
