FRANCKE’S ENCOURAGING DISCOVERY.
It is said that when Francke was engaged in the great work of erecting his world-known Orphan-House at Halle, for the means of which he looked to the Lord in importunate prayer from day to day, an apparently accidental circumstance made an abiding impression on him and those about him. A workman, in digging a part of the foundation, found a small silver coin, with the following inscription:—
“Jehova, Conditor, Condita Coronide Coronet.”
(May Jehovah, the builder, finish the building.)
