THE TITHING SYSTEM.

By John F. Hanson

I read the plan suggested by the General Conference Committee for the support of the ministry, as given in the article entitled, “Systematic Benevolence,” in REVIEW of Dec. 12. As I read, I indorsed it; and as I did this joy filled my heart. I have told our Danish brethren that if they gave a tenth of their increase to the Lord, it was not necessary to give it all for the support of the ministry, but that it might be used in the Lord’s cause as they thought best. Now, as one whom the General Conference has given the oversight of the Scandinavian churches in Iowa, Nebraska, and Dakota, I would recommend the plan of the General Conference Committee, to take effect in all our Danish and Swedish churches from Jan. 1, 1879.
Brethren, let us walk in the light, lest darkness come upon us.
JOHN F. HANSON.
