to
speak, inspects our stores, knew this, and therefore yesterday caused
ten pounds to be put into one of the boxes at my house. Last evening
came in also still further 1l. 7s. from the Isle of Wight.

April 2. As I had to expend today more than 10l, for the Orphans, I was
again reduced to a few shillings, when this morning 15l. was sent to me
by two donors from Liverpool. Also at the same time came from the
neighbourhood of Worcester 1l.

April 3. After having been comparatively poor, the Lord is now again
pouring in means, which come very seasonably for the replenishing of our
stores, for the obtaining of certain articles of clothing for the
children, etc. Today I received the following donations: 19l. 5s. from
the brethren assembling at Bethesda Chapel, Sunderland, from two sisters
6s., from A. A. 18s. 5d., and by sale of Reports 1s. 4d.

April 4. Still further from Sunderland 15s., from Sherborne 8s. 6d.,
from Sidmouth 1l., and from "S. P., Dublin," 1l. 10s.

April 12, Saturday. 33l. 19s. 7d. more has come in since the 4th. After
the expenses of today had been met, there again remained scarcely

The boxes in the Orphan-Houses therefore were opened, but only 1l. 8s.
6d. was found in them. There came in besides from A. A. 7s.

April 30. From the 13th to this day came in altogether 57l. 13s. 2d.
Thus we were well supplied with all the means which were needed during
that time; but yesterday morning I had
sent off to the Orphan-Houses the last money I had in hand. In the
afternoon a sister in the Lord from Bath called, and gave me a

May 1. When this day began I had only half-a-crown in hand, which I had
taken last evening out of one of the boxes in my house. When I was this
