charge on your Tithe, as it is bought for God’s service, not for yours.

(3) Enter in the right-hand column one-tenth of all you get. If your wages are fifty shillings, each week, after you have got them, an entry for five shillings goes into that column. If your employer gives you a five pound note at Christmas, an entry for ten shillings goes into that same column. And so for each item of income.

(4) Enter in the left-hand column all the money which you give to God. If you give a shilling to the church collection, put down one shilling in that column. If you give threepence to a beggar in the street, enter the amount in that column. And so on you can itemize your gifts.

(5) It is perfectly obvious that by adding up the two columns, you can at any time find out how much money you owe to the Sacred Treasury. In the case of a young and inexperienced tither it is not wise to let this balance become too large. Therefore, at any rate when starting, and for some time after, see that your gifts each month balance your tithe for that month. When the habit is thoroughly formed, you may defer the settlement and do it quarterly, which will enable you to give larger sums to such causes as may appear most worthy of them.

(6) Remember that this tithing money is God’s, not yours. Don’t lose it. Don’t spend it on yourself. Ask God’s acceptance of it, and His guidance in the disposal of it. This guidance will usually be given through the use of your own plain common-sense. But sometimes, through the definite leading of God’s Spirit.

(7) Don’t be afraid to start this scheme because you can’t afford to. The Bible assumes that you can afford to. It therefore promises definite material blessing to those who pay their tithe, and this blessing will definitely come in answer to prayer and tithing. It will come at God’s time, not yours, but that will prove in the result to have been the best time. Speaking from twenty-three years’ experience of tithing, I say that every promise of God to the tithe-payer comes true, and abundant beauty true. Therefore, don’t be afraid to tackle the problem boldly.

(8) Don’t pay your tithe as if you were having a tooth drawn. It isn’t reverent, and in the light of what I have just said, it
