H. A. ST. JOHN

By H. A. St. John

Tithing.

I HAVE become fully satisfied that the best way for many of our brethren to pay their systematic benevolence pledges is upon the tithing principle. I am not sure but ’tis the best plan for all. The more I consider it the clearer it looks. Why should not every brother and sister have a place, a box, in their own house, in which they can place their tithes every first day of the week, “as God hath prospered them.” All our children should have their little banks in which they can cast their pennies, not simply a tenth, but all or nearly all they may get. All should be paid to the church treasurer once a quarter.

Brethren, think of it. And those who are behind on their pledges, I would advise to do more than to think of it, give it a thorough trial.
