An Encouraging Experience
THE divine provision for securing the funds needed for the Lord's treasury is without question the best method; and when it is faithfully followed, there will be no lack of means for pushing the work. A bit of experience will illustrate this view of the matter. In a recent letter Elder A. T. Robinson, the president of the Nebraska Conference, writes:— We had a splendid tithe come in this quarter, $8,079.60. This enabled us to meet all the demands of our conference work for the quarter, pay our tithe to the Central Union Conference, also a second tithe to the Union Conference of $727.16, which I understand they turn directly over to the General Conference. I believe if we would teach all our people the blessing of rendering to the Lord his own, in a faithful tithe, and the payment of the second tithe as well, there would be an abundance of means to carry forward every branch of the Lord's work. I have tried faithfully to preach this, as a part of the blessed gospel wherever I have gone during the last three months, and I find that nearly all our people love the principle. We hope that other conferences and individuals will be encouraged to emulate this good example. There is a blessing in it.
