not much in hand.

July 14. An Israelitish gentleman, an entire stranger, brought to my
house this morning 5l. for the support of the Orphans. See in what a
variety of ways the Lord is pleased to supply us with means, and all
unsolicited, simply in answer to prayer!

Aug. 17. From Messrs. * * * 7l. 10s. 0d., being a portion of the money
received for showing the "British Empire" before she left Bristol.
Observe again, esteemed Reader, what a variety of ways the Lord uses to
supply me with means; for I had not before even heard of the name of
this vessel, nor did I know her owners, even by name; yet God inclines
the heart of these gentlemen to send me this 7l. 10s. 0d. towards the
support of the 300 Orphans.--Anonymously from Wilton 4s., as "A
thank-offering to God for His mercies on a journey."

Aug. 21. From Worcestershire 30l.

Sept. 6. From the Bombay Presidency 25l.

Sept. 26. Received a large cask containing the wearing apparel of the
late Mrs. H. at J. in the county of Leicester, which this lady, by her
will, had bequeathed to me for the benefit of the Orphans.

Oct. 3. Received the following letter.

"* * *, Oct. 8, 1855.

Dear Mr. Mueller,

The enclosed check for 8l. 1s. 4d. is chiefly the product of a sale for
the Orphans, which we held on our sister's wedding-day, and hoping it
