First Fruits

By H. C. Carmichael

BEFORE I became acquainted with the Adventists, I began paying my tithe. A few years ago I adopted the ten-cent-a-week plan. I have faithfully carried out this plan. A few weeks ago I began to devote the profits of the first book sold each day for cash. This I have designated as “first fruits.”

I realize that I am selfish, but I am striving to be honest; and am thankful to the Lord that he is beginning to touch my heart with his own Spirit of unselfish liberality. O brethren and sisters, let us come up to the help of the Lord like true men and women, and hasten the coming of the King. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Come quickly.
