rs, has sent me 200l., to be used as needed. I took
of this donation 100l. for the Orphans, and 100l. for these objects, and
have thus the means of being able to send some help to brethren who
labour in the Gospel.

Aug. 9. Having had heavy expenses the last ten days, in order to help
foreign labourers in the Gospel, and to procure supplies of Bibles,
Testaments, and Tracts, our means for these objects were now reduced to
7l. 7s. 10 1/2 d. Yet I desired far more to help brethren who labour in
the Word, as the greater party of them had not yet been supplied. I
therefore besought the Lord, that He would be pleased to send in means.
When I came home this evening from the New Orphan House, I found the
following letter, from the same believing farmer, whom the Lord has
several times used in previous years, to help me when in need.

"* * * * Aug. 8, 1855.

"Dear Brother in Christ,

"I feel stirred up to help you in the work in which you are engaged, and
therefore beg your acceptance of the enclosed Twenty Pounds, to be used
in any way you please, trusting God will direct you.

Yours affectionately in Christ,

"* * * *"

I took the whole amount for Missionary objects and the circulation of
Bibles and Tracts.

Aug. 25. The outgoings from these objects have been great, during this
month, and the income comparatively small. On this account the means
for these objects were reduced today to
a few shillings. As the opportunities for the gratuitous circulation of
the Holy Scriptures and Gospel Tracts, however, continued to be great,
and as I had been only able to send out about the third part as much to
labourers in the Gospel, as I could have desired, my prayer during this
week had been especially for means for this object. Now the Lord has
somewhat helped us. I have received today a donation of 203l. 14s., the
whole of which I took for these objects, as the application of it was
left with me. The Lord be magnified for this precious help! I shall be
able to send at least 150l. of this sum to labourers in the Gospel.--
About 3 hours, before this donation was received, I had been asking the
Lord, if He would not condescend to use me as an instrument, at this
time, in helping these brethren, He would kindly in some other way
supply them with means.

Sept. 1. From Dublin 5l. for missions.

Sept. 11. From C. W. 20l. for foreign labourers in the Gospel. A
precious help in answer to many prayers.

Sept. 20. Received 190l., o
