At the Seattle convention the conference
on the Tenth Legion work was conducted
by John T. sproul. president Of the New

interest. and participation was general.
1t was said that tithing was not an Old

or tho Ten Commandments, the 1.-THE to be
of the amount one receives and not after
paying living expenses. It Is a duty of
pastors to bring the subject before their
people. The giving should begin as soon as
the child has any money, and II was sug-
Eested that a sun be given and the child
be encouraged to give a tenth. One should
begin giving the tenth when the income Is
very small. or the habit will probably
never be formed. Civ the tenth even IF
you do not see how you are to make both
ends meet.
Paying a tcnth begins as a duty, but
grows to be a privilege. Emphasize the
spiritual as well as the material blessing
that God gives. There was a consensus of
opinion that giving a tenth is a most
blessed experience.
The conference asked that at the next
convention the subject of giving a tenth be
presented before the entire assembly, and
that the United Society provide a special
superintendent or department for the work.
Several OF those present at the conference
applied to be enrolled In the Tenth Legion.

secration service when each State replies
