THE NEW ORPHAN HOUSES.
ASHLEY DOWNE.
A complaint having been received from a gentleman in October 1845, that some of the inhabitants of Wilson Street were inconvenienced by the orphan-houses being in that street, Mr. Muller ultimately decided, for that and other reasons, after much prayerful meditation, to build an orphan-house elsewhere to accommodate three hundred children, and commenced to ask the Lord for means for so doing.
January 31st, 1846.
It is now eighty-nine days since I have been daily waiting upon God about the building of an orphan house.
The time seems to me now near when the Lord will give us a piece of ground, and I told the brethren and sisters so this evening, after our usual Saturday evening prayer meeting at the orphan houses.
FEBRUARY THE FIRST A poor widow sent to-day ten shillings.
FEBRUARY THE SECOND To-day I heard of suitable and cheap land on Ashley Down.
FEBRUARY THE THIRD Saw the land.
It is the most desirable of all I have seen.
There was anonymously put in an orphan box at my house a sovereign, in a piece of paper on which was written, THE NEW ORPHAN HOUSE.
FEBRUARY THE FOURTH
This evening I called on the owner of the land on Ashley Down, about which I had heard on the second, but he was not at home.
As I, however, had been informed that I should find him at his house of business, I went there, but did not find him there either, as he had just before left.
I might have called again at his residence at a later hour, having been informed by one of the servants that he would be sure to be at home about eight o'clock,
but I did not do so, judging that there was the hand of God in my not finding him at either place, and I judged it best therefore not to force the matter, but to let patience have her perfect work.
february fifth i saw this morning the owner of the land he told me that he awoke at three o'clock this morning and could not sleep again till five while he was thus lying awake his mind was all the time occupied about the piece of land respecting which inquiry had been made of him for the building of an orphan-house at my request
and he determined that if i should apply for it he would not only let me have it but for a hundred and twenty pounds per acre instead of two hundred pounds the price which he had previously asked for it how good is the lord the agreement was made this morning and i purchased a field of nearly seven acres at a hundred and twenty pounds per acre
Observe the hand of God in my not finding the owner at home last evening.
The Lord meant to speak to his servant first about this matter during a sleepless night, and to lead him fully to decide before I had seen him.
