to the public service is really touching.

The remarkable history of George Muller's
orphan asylum at Bristol, England, as related
by himself, has interested thousands of readers.
Without soliciting farthing, he received for his
orphans in the course of a few years more than
million and half of dollars With the aid
of these charitable gifts he built five houses, each
equal in size to large hotel; they are all occu.
pied, and the inmates well supported and cared
for, and during the existence Of this charity.
though the funds on hand have several times
been reduced much below the needs of a single
day, no debt has ever been contracted, and the
building fund, where one existed, was never en-
croached upon. All articles bought have been
serupulously paid for on delivery, and there has
been no want of anything, for as soon
as the money was exhausted new supply
always arrived, often from source entirely un-
expected, before its need wss felt Mr.. Muller
believed that he was simply obeying the divine
command, "Ask and We shall receive" and he
had an undoubting faith that his prayers
would be answered, and all things needed for
his work would be supplied. The result won
derfully Vindicated his faith. The uniformity
with which the wants of his establishment were
supplied from day to day and from year TO
year, without failure and without excess. was
like that with which the operation of natur-
al laws brings rain and sunshine in their seasons
TO nourish the fruits of the earth.
His narrative published some wears aoo with tho
title Life OF Trust" has encouraged others to
venture upon similar work, guided by the
same principles and trusting in the same re-
sources. DR.. Coils Home" in Boston has
been in existence some ears, and though it is
much less extensive than Mr. Muller's, its his
tory has been almost as remarkable. DIR. Geo.
E. Shipman, of Chicago, has with the present
year opened a foundlings' home in that city.
and already has considerable number of in
1ants whom he proposes to bring up until they
can take care Of themselves. He receives none
but ioundings, and refuses all applications 10
adopt children from the home. Like George
Muller, he entered upon the work without
aunds and makes no solicitations, but gratefully
receives all offered aid. His dependence for
nleaus 70 continue bis work is thus stated by
himself: ~
