but that, as he had laid out a good deal on the house and land, he expected a compensation for leaving it before his time was up.
As I, of course, was quite willing to give a fair and reasonable compensation, I consider this a very precious answer to prayer.
III.
I now entered upon the third difficulty, the price of the land.
I knew well how much the land was worth to the orphan institution.
but its value to the institution was not the market value i gave myself therefore day by day to prayer that the lord would constrain the owner to accept a considerably lower sum than he had asked
i also pointed out to him why it was not worth as much as he asked at last he consented to take five thousand five hundred pounds instead of seven thousand and i accepted the offer for i knew that by the level character of the land we should save a considerable sum for the two houses
and that by the new sewer which only a few months before had been completed running along under the turnpike road near the field we should be considerably benefited in addition to these two points i had to take into the account that we can have gas from bristol as in the three houses already in operation
and lastly the most important point of all the nearness of this piece of land to the other three houses so that all could easily be under the same direction and superintendence in fact no other piece of land near or far off would present so much advantage to us as this spot which the lord thus so very kindly had given to us
All being now settled, I proceeded to have the land conveyed to the same trustees who stood trustees for the new orphan houses numbers 1, 2, and 3.
I have thus minutely dwelt on these various matters, for the encouragement of the reader, that he may not be discouraged by difficulties, however great and many and varied, but give himself to prayer, trusting in the Lord for help, yea, expecting help, which in his own time and way he will surely grant.
Orphan Houses No.
4 and 5
March 5, 1874.
Both houses, No.
4 and No.
5, have now been for years in operation.
number four since november eighteen sixty eight and number five since the beginning of the year eighteen seventy and above twelve hundred orphans have been already received into them and month after month more are received as the orphans are sent out from them as apprentices or servants moreover all the expenses in connection with their being built fitted up and furnished were met to the full as the demands arose
and after all had been paid there was left a balance of several thousand pounds, which is being used for keeping the houses in repair.
See, esteemed reader, how abundantly God answered our prayers, and how plain it is that we were not mistaken after we had patiently and prayerfully sought to ascertain His will.
