Divine Plan of Church Finance.

ALL our readers know the opinions of the Seventh-Day Adventists in regard to the proper method of raising money for religious purposes. All our churches to a greater or less extent follow the Scripture rule of tithing. It is purely a voluntary matter, but it is largely followed among us. And we are pleased with every effort to introduce the system in any church work in every denomination. We have received samples of tracts on this subject which are prepared for gratuitous distribution, written by "A Layman." Their titles are as follows:—
No. 1.—What We Owe. No. 2.—Some Questions and Answers. No. 3.—Thanksgiving Ann. No. 4.—Divine Plan of Church Finance.
And to these is added one specially to ministers: No. 5.—What you Owe. This relates to the duty of pastors to present the subject to their congregations. We intend to send for some of the tracts to circulate, and we invite our ministers and the officers of our churches to do the same. They can be ordered together or by the numbers.
