Apprenticing the Orphans
In the early part of the summer, 1862, it was found that we had several boys ready to be apprenticed, but there were no applications made by masters for apprentices.
As all our boys are invariably sent out as indoor apprentices, this was no small difficulty, for we not only look for Christian masters, but consider their business and examine into their position to see whether they are suitable.
and the master must also be willing to receive the apprentice into his own family.
Under these circumstances we again gave ourselves to prayer, as we had done for more than twenty years before concerning this thing, instead of advertising, which in all probability would only bring before us masters who desire apprentices for the sake of the premium.
We remembered how good the Lord had been to us in having helped us hundreds of times before in this very matter.
Some weeks passed, but the difficulty remained.
We continued, however, in prayer, and then one application was made, and then another, and since we first began to pray about this matter last summer, we have been able to send out altogether eighteen boys up to May 26, 1863.
the difficulty was thus again entirely overcome by prayer as every one of the boys whom it was desirable to send out has been sent out sickness at the orphanage sickness at times visited the houses during the summer and autumn of eighteen sixty six we had also the measles at all the three orphan houses
After they had made their appearance, our especial prayer was, one, that there might not be too many children ill at one time in this disease, so that our accommodation in the infirmary rooms, or otherwise, might be sufficient.
this prayer was answered to the full for although we had at the new orphan house number one not less than eighty-three cases in number two altogether one hundred and eleven and in number three altogether sixty-eight yet god so graciously was pleased to listen to our supplications
as that when our spare rooms were filled with the invalids he so long stayed the spreading of the measles till a sufficient number were restored so as to make room for others who were taken ill two further we prayed that the children who were taken ill in the measles might be safely brought through and not die
Thus it was.
We had the full answer to our prayers, for though two hundred and sixty-two children altogether had the measles, not one of them died.
3.
Lastly, we prayed that no evil physical consequences might follow this disease, as is so often the case.
This was also granted.
All the 262 children not only recovered, but did well afterwards.
I gratefully record this signal mercy and blessing of God, and this full and precious answer to prayer, to the honour of His name.
Help for needy brethren.
