Monday, 20.—We laid the first stone of the house. Many were gathered from all parts
to see it; but none scoffed or interrupted while we praised God and prayed that He would
prosper the work of our hands upon us. Three or four times in the evening, I was forced to
break off preaching that we might pray and give thanks to God.
Thursday, 23.—It being computed that such a house as was proposed could not be finished under 700 pounds sterling, many were positive it would never be finished at all; others, that I should not live to see it covered. I was of another mind; nothing doubting but, as it was begun for God’s sake, He would provide what was needful for the finishing it.
