“There are two ways to be wealthy—one
is in the abundance of your possessions, and the other is in the fewness of your
wants.”
While you are lifting your economic
level to the level of need, give a tithe of what you earn. After you have reached that level, give
everything you earn. The tithe is a
token—a token that you are not owner but ower.
Just as you pay rent as a token of acknowledgment of the ownership of
another, so you pay a tithe to acknowledge the ownership of God over the nine
tenths. When the level of your needs has
been reached, then all you earn belongs to the needs of others, not as charity,
but as right and justice.”
