Yesterday the funds for the Orphans were reduced to 5l. Blessed be God, my confidence in Him was unshaken! I received yesterday 2l. 13s. Today I was going with my family for change of air to Durdham Down, and thought it well, therefore, to take out any money which there might be in the Orphan-Box in my house. When I opened it, I found a ten pound note and three half crowns.
This would place the unmarried soldier, in a pecuniary point of view, worse off by one dollar a month, or 2l. l0s. a year, than he would have been at home; and would give the married man 5 dollars a month, or 12l. a year, more than his ordinary wages, for absenting himself from his family. I cannot think, therefore, that the pecuniary attractions have been very great.
Almost immediately afterwards came in 1l. l2s. 2d., sufficient to supply the need of today. Sept. 30. Today there is nothing in hand. It is now a quarter past eleven, but nothing yet has come in. Nevertheless the Lord will surely help us this day also! About five minutes after I had written the above, I was informed by a note from brother B., that 2l. 10s. 6d. had come in in small donations.
By means of the sovereign which had come in yesterday, and several small donations today and on the past days, together with 2l. 10s. which one of the labourers added of his own, 6l. 2s. 6d. was divided this day between the three matrons, which will supply their need for two days at least. Nov. 7. The funds are now again completely exhausted.
Each entitled freeman, who enrolled his name, and paid a subscription of 3d. per week, had, in his turn, his freedom taken up, and his fees, amounting to about 2l. 8s. paid out of the fund. One would have thought this a most legitimate and praiseworthy association.
During this year, General Oglethorpe advanced to Bolzius 5l. for procuring trees, for which sum he obtained twelve hundred, and distributed twenty-two to each family in his parish. On May 1, 1742, fourteen pounds and fourteen ounces were sold, which brought 2l. 19s. 6d. Nearly half of the silkworms died at Savannah, owing, as was then supposed, either to poisoned dew or warm weather.
Phil. iii:20, 2l "For our conversation is in heaven, from whence we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."
Through the same house, by the last packet, there have arrived remittances to the amount of 1,300l., in sums varying from 2l. to 10l." Dublin Evening Post. Morning Chronicle, 5th of April, 1847. As to the vices of the Irish peasant, a few years since they might have been set down as three whiskey drinking, cupidity, and combination.
Indeed, we cannot but believe that the Lord has put it into our hearts to help you, and we trust you will honour us, His unworthy servants, by believing that our gift is really His." There came in today 2l. 16s. by the sale of some of the articles sent in the first box from Leeds, and by the sale of some other articles. Thus our need for tomorrow is supplied. Sept. 18.
The very necessity led me to expect help for this day; for if none had come, the Lords name would have been dishonoured. Between twelve and one two sisters in the Lord called on me, and the one gave me 2l. and the other 7s. 6d. for the Orphans. With this I went to the Boys-Orphan-House about one oclock, where I found the children at dinner. There is much needed.
