about a week previous to this date, I
was led to ask the Lord what He would desire to do with the money which
might remain in my hands when I should receive the money for this bill,
and your name was immediately presented to my mind with these words:
"the Lord has need of it." I therefore enclose the amount, viz,
thirty-two pounds, and remain,

"Dear Brother,

"Yours affectionately in the Lord,

"Nov. 20, 1845. &c. &c."

Look at this, dear reader! Is not the hand of God most manifest in such
cases? This unknown donor prays what to do with the money, and my name
is brought to his or her mind. See also how seasonable the help!

This 32l. was put to the Orphan-Fund, as there was but little in hand.
By this and the other sums which came in during my absence, my dear wife
was helped without any difficulty, through all the expenses.

There being now again little in hand, I asked the Lord yesterday (Jan.
16, 1846) that He would be pleased to send in supplies, when almost
immediately after a sister in the Lord, who had unexpectedly received a
rich remittance from distant relatives, gave me 10l.; and today a lady,
who on her way from Cornwall to London was staying for a day or two at
Clifton, kindly sent me 20l. Thus we are again supplied at least for a
week.

March 2. Goodness and mercy have followed us again in many respects with
reference to the work, since the last date, Jan. 17th, up to this day;
and with regard to means, there has been again a rich supply granted to
us, so that I have been able to meet all the expenses of the work,
though they have been for the Orphans alone. 180l. 19s. 1d., and more
than 100l. for the other objects, during these six weeks. But there
remained now scarcely anything in hand, when I received this morning,
from a distance of about 200 miles the following letter with 15l.

"Beloved Brother,

"Enclosed is the produce of the sale of a pianoforte, which I thankfully
send for the Lord's work in your hands, having received blessing to my
own soul by means of that work, and not the least in being weaned from
some of those things I once found pleasure in. I have been waiting
payment of the amount for some time, but, having money now in hand, I
send it without further delay, as you may possibly need it now. The 15l.
you will kindly allot as you see most desirable. That our God would
fulfil in you all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of
faith with power, that the name of our Lo
