But ye have robbed Me in tithes and offerings." ) God help us that we may be delivered from the snare and the delusion of supposing we are expressing our love to Him when, as a few years ago, we gave one-sixteenth of one per cent for God and fifteen-sixteenths of one per cent we spent upon ourselves. And then sang gloriously,we "I love Thy Kingdom, Lord, the house of Thine abode." heardI a man put it this way once. He said : "When people do that, it is very much as if a man should go down to the city and buy a five-thousand-dollar auto- mobile and a seventy-five-dollar overcoat and a ten-dollar pair of shoes and a fifteen-dollar hat for himself, and then should , buy a calico dress for his wife, and should go home singing, T love my Nancy Jane, I love "my Nancy Jane.' —E. Y. Mullins, D. D., at Missionary Congress. It is not Scriptural tithing to give one-tenth of our income to poor relatives and tramps. free-willA offering may be made after we have 79 — — THOUGHT TITHINGGEMS OF ON rendered our tithe God. Many persons followed forto have this rule many years believed they were practicing the teaching Scrip-and of the of the Scriptures and the unsatisfactory resultstures, but a careful study from this promiscuous giving have fully convinced them that this is not God's plan, and they have turned with confidence to the Church of Christ as God's storehouse.
