HOW IT WORKS.

Bro. A. O. Burrill thus speaks of the results of the tithing system in the churches he has visited:—

We have found that the tithes exceed the S. B. pledge. Some are double. One brother whose S. B. pledge was $13 found his tithes amounted to $68 this year. Every one who has practiced the tithing system for 1877 has come to our meetings saying they have been much blessed all through the year, while those who have not practiced it, come to the meetings grumbling and making excuses and finding fault with this and that, and have made no advancement in the Christian life. Moreover those churches that have come up have individuals all around them who are inquiring for the truth. Nine-tenths, with the blessing of God, weighs and measures more than ten-tenths without it. “Prove me,” saith the Lord, and all who have, have been blessed.
