3102.—Tithing

By Editor

My income this year was $300. I owe $600. How much tithe should I pay?

That depends. If nothing more was used in the securing of that income than one's daily labor, the tithe would be $30. The debt which we owe has nothing to do with our tithe, absolutely nothing. There are thousands of people who pay tithe whose income may be $500 a year for instance, but who owe several thousand dollars. The tithe is paid on the income. If in the securing of that income we have to hire others, of course their wages will be deducted from the receipts; but if the income is simply gotten without other labor, the whole income is tithed.
