What It Will Mean to Missions

By A. G. Daniells

“I have run over some figures while we have been discussing, and find that fifteen of our stronger conferences pay a tithe of $500,000. Now if these pay one third to missions, after the tithe to the union is taken out, it will come to about $150,000. I have compared the tithe reports of these fifteen conferences for 1903 and 1908, and find that the increase of their tithe during five years has been $147,000. So, after giving to missions one third, they will still have as much for their local work as they had five years ago. . . . And I believe that if something of the earnestness of these conference presidents can come to our people, to spring all to a full tithe, we shall soon have our tithe increased a half million dollars, all of which can go into the mission fields. And when that is done, it will seem that we are in the loud cry of the message, surely.”—A. G. Daniells.
