Mr William Thomaas Aldriidge

                  Union Ridge, NC.

Dear Brother;
         We are told in the scripture that it is more blessed to give than  to
receive.. I believe this with all my heart.. But we know we receive blessings
when we pay our tithing.. These blessings pertain to this life and also to the
life to come..  They fill our soul with joy and you know that you are pleasing
God when you honor him with your substance..
       The Apostle Paul was a powerful minster of the word.  He knew the
greatness of the Saviors mission.  He said on the second Epistle to the Corinth
ians, chapter 8, verse 9," For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
though he was rich yet for our sake He become poor, that we through his poverty
might become rich."
       Now, the Lord as know prayed to his Father on one ocasion as follows, "And
now O Father glory thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with
thee before the world was." John 17:9  He said, "The foxes have holes and the
birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Matt 8, 20 ...
Jesus, when he came poor in order that we might become rich.. He offered up his
life, and atoned for our sins,overcame death, and brought to pass the resurrect
ion from the dead.  We never could have done this for our selves,neither could
all the money in the world could have brought these eternal riches.. Simon, the
Sorceror offered the Apostles money for the power to bestow the Holy Ghost, But
peter said unto him thy money perish with thee because thou hast thought that
the gift of God may be purchased with money...
       The Lord says in the Doctrine and Covenants that the gift of salvation is
the greatest He has for Man."Behold saidth the Lord,"he that hath the gift of
eternal life is Rich."    The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is
eternal life through our Lord  Jesus Christ... For such eternal riches we can
afford to pay our thithing, and for the law of thithing bringeth blessings to
those that obey it.. Every Latter-Day Saint know that God is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek him and obey him.. The blessings of God always bring joy
to our souls.
      Ever praying for your salvation in the kingdom of heaven, I remain..

                                                       Your brother in the Gospel
