There are two particular things God considers holy— the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, and the tithe, or Conviction? one tenth of one's earnings. Of the Sabbath God says, "Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day. . . . On the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord. . . The Lord "I keep on spading blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it" (Ex. 20:8-11, Douay). Of the tithe He says, "All tithes of the land, in the Lord's direction whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him" (Lev. 27:30, Douay). and He keeps on spading Tithe paying is a sound Christian doctrine because it is divine in its origin. Jacob and Abraham paid tithe (Gen. in mine." 28:20-22; Heb. 7:1). It did not originate with the Jews, either. The tithe is for the support of the gospel, the good news of salvation for the sinner. Adam and Eve sinned. The good news—the first promise of the Saviour—was given even in Paradise, along with the curse. The gospel is not for the Jews only, and neither is the tithe. According to The New Catholic Encyclopedia, "In Christian usage, the tenth . . . of a person's income was required by law to be paid to the church for . . . the support of its ministers. . . . The Council of Trent declared that the payment of tithes was due to God, and that those who refuse to pay them were to be excom- municated." No Exceptions or Exemptions God's requirements have no exceptions or exemp- tions. Even the priests, who were commanded to receive tithe from the people, paid tithe (Heb. 7:5, 9). Jesus advocated the tithing of mint, anise, and cummin: "These ought ye to have done." To the list we may add tomatoes, onions, okra, eggplant, radishes, or any garden produce for that matter. Tithe paying was recognized by the patriarchs as a religious obligation. It is simple, equitable, and practical. It treats the rich and the poor alike. By SALVADOR G.

Speaking under inspiration of the Spirit of God, David declared: "I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hath pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of By BRUNO W.
