little more: While this widow was
paying her tithiug and being blessed
there was n little boy who really
thought that tithing Office clerk was
about right. That Widows boys had
TO work very hard, and they knew how
those potatoes were raised. They knew
how the corn and other grain was
raised, they knew what II was to take
care of the sheep. and the horses and
the cows that were tithcd, and ali
about It. They knew how It was done,
for they had II TO do. And one Of the
little boys OF that widow thought that
clerk was more than two-thlrds right
about It. by and by the widow died,
but she left very comfortable property
for her children, dug out Of the desert
here: the children were young.
md confess to you that they
were not as faithful In paying their
uthes and their offerings as their
mother was; they had lost their
mother, and what was tho result9 In
a few years. everything that she left
them had gone to rack and ruin. That
was the result. The cattle We're turned
out uron the range, and that was the
Inst they ever saw of them. The
ncighbors' cnttlc broke into the fields
and destroyed the crops, and they did
not reap the harvests they had done
before; and Il was only n few years
after the death Of the widow when the
children had not much to show for
what was left them, and It was not
until they became old enough to ap-
precinte tho truth. and to commence
to obey the laws Of God and keep HIS
commandments, that the Lord began
to bless them again. to build them up,
to increase their substance, and to give
good. And ms they have obeyed the
Of God. the Lord has
blessed them. He will continue to do

and throughout the countless

Now 1 want to read another little
passage of Scripture. 1t is ancient,
however but It has an application
and II I read It. you who hear 1t will
he able to make the application, pos
sibly, to suit yourselves, or to suit
your neighbors. Rather let us make
the application to ourselves. oach OF
us, and let each of our neighbors do
the same.
"And as soon as the commandment
came abroad the children Of Israel
brought, in abundance. the first fruits
of corn, wine and oil and honey and
of all the increase of the field. and
the 1.-THE OF all things brought they in
abundance. And concerning the chill
dren OF Israel and Judah. that dwelt
in the cities of Judah they also brought

consecrated unto the Lord their God,
and laid them by heaps. In the third
month they began to lay the FONDA
tion of the heaps, and finished them
In the seventh month. And when
Hezekiah and the princes came and
saw the heaps. they blessed the Lord
and His people Israel. Then Hezeklnh
questioned with the Priests and the
Levites' concerning the heaps; and
Azariah, the chief priest of the house
of Zadock, answered him and said,

left plenty, for the Lord hath blessed
His people, and that which is left Is

commanded to prepare chambers In
the house of the Lord, and they pre-

No doubt. good deal more could be
read from the Scriptures in relation to
this principle OF tlthing, which God has
revealed to us in this dispensation. and
which He requires at our hands, that
we may sanctlfy, by obedience to His
law, this land that IT may become in
deed land OF Zion unto us: and the
promise is that II we will obey the
laws of God. N we viii put Our trust
in Him. II we will draw near unto Him
