manner in which the tithes OF the
people are to be paid. and the chan

are to be distributed and used in the
work of the Church are specifically
set forth.
As of old, so in the Church Of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints today
tithinE is the divinely established rev.
enue system by which the pecuniarS
needs of the ecclesiastical communis
ty are provided for. And as OF old
so today. tithe-paying must be a vol

1t is essential that men learn to-
give. Without provision for this
training the curriculum in the school
of mortality would be seriously de-
feCtive. Human wisdom has failed to
devise a more equitable scheme of in
dividual contribution for community
needs than the simple plan OF the
tithe. Every, one is invited to give
in amount proportioned to. his able
ity. and TO so give regularly and sys--
tematically. The spirit of giving

ultimate title OF which is vested in
Him who created all that is.
The Latter-day Saints believe that
the tithing system has been divinely-
appointed for their observance; and'
they esteem themselves blessed in thus
being permitted to have part in the.
furtherance of Gods purposes. Under.
this system the people have pros.
pered severally and as an organized
body. II is the simple and effective
revenue law OF the Church; and its,
operation has been a success from the.
time of its establishment. Amongst US
it obviates the necessity of taking M.
