Faithful Tithing in South Korea

By R. C. Wangerin

NEARLY every member of our Keizan church is a faithful tithe payer. They are all very poor people, some barely existing at times. So it is with joy unspeakable that we see them bring their tithes and mites as offerings to the great Giver of all things. One family brings in its tithe month by month, which is about as follows: The father, five cents; the mother, three or four cents; the oldest boy, aged fourteen, about five cents; the daughter, aged twelve, two or three cents—a total of about seventeen cents a month.

This is not a burden to them, but a pleasure and a privilege. They all keep the tithe receipts, hanging them in a conspicuous place on the wall. The Lord of the harvest will surely remember such when he comes to make up his jewels.
