Wednesday night, of the store
house of ihe Axson Trading Com
pany, a business owned by Mrs.
Helen I*’. Stewart.
The building was a very large
one and occupied by the above
mercantile business and the United

the scene and by intelligent and
rapid work succeeded in saving
the contents of the postoffice —
furniture, mail and parcel post

It is thought, from evidence

Thoughts of Tithing.
I!y Elder Chaft. A. CalliH.
Tithing is a divine principle
based on God’s ownership of all.
"TIIO earth is the Lord’s aud the
fullness thereof.”
Jacob gave a tenth. “And all of
that thou shalt give me, I will
surely give the tenth to thee.”
God honored and blessed Jacob for
giving.
Paying tithing kills selfishness.
Hour Heavenly Father were sel
fish we would forever be lost, with
out hope. Tithing kills covetdus
ness which the Savior said is an
evil thing.
God is the author of tithing. He
prospers the tithepayer. Tithing
is a free will offering in righteous
ness unto Him. It is more blessed
to give than toVcceive. The tithe
payer grows strong and grounded
and settled in the faith.
Will a man rob God. Yet ye
have robbed me In tithes
and offerings Bring ye all the
tithes into the storehouse,
and prove me now herewith, saith
the Lord of Hosts. (Malachi 3:19-
10.
The Lord who is a swift witness
against those that oppress the
widow does nob rovoke the law of
tithing in her case. He blesses her
for obeying it. Remember the
widow's mite. lie commanded a
widow woman to sustain Elijah
when there was a famine in the
land. She had only a handful of
meal in a barrel aud a little oil in
a cruse, aud she was going to make
it into a cake for herself and sou
and after they had eaten it they
were going to die. But she made
the cake for the prophet, "and the
barrel of meal wasted not, neither
diil the cruse of oil fail.”
Did the Lord have a purpose in
commanding this widow woman to
sustain His prophet? Yes. Her
son fell sick; there was no breath
left in him. Elijah, the man of
God healed the boy. 3’he Lord
could have continued to have fed
Elijah by the ravens, but He saw
that the widow was in need of a
blessing aud she could not receive
a blessing until after tbe trial of
her faith. Neither can we.
There are fiery trials and sor
rows ahead of us. Only tbe power
and blessing of God can take us
through those trials, heal those
sorrows and sanctify unto ns our
deepest distress. God is preparing
us by sacrifice and obedience lo
His commandments to be worthy
to receive His blessing. “J, the
Lord am bound, when ye do what
1 say, but when ye do not what l
say, ye have no promise.” Before
the day of trouble, make the Lord
Hosts your friend. "Seek the Lord
while He may be found. Call up
on Him while lie is near.”
Are we tithepayers! If not be
gin now. "Prove me now herewith,”
saith the Lord of Hosts.
Congress lias settled down for a
very session, and will remain
busy until midsummer.
