“Matthias Baldwin, founder of the great locomotive works, made it his practice to set aside one-tenth of the earnings of the company to be used for religious and educational purposes. At one time his firm was encountering tremendous financial difficulties. He had no funds left to tithe with, so he made out notes signed by himself, which he later redeemed, all of which were paid. During this crisis his associates asked him to stop his practice of tithing, but he cried, ‘Why, that is my one safe investment.’”

(Glenn Clark, God’s Reach, St. Paul, Minnesota: Macalester Park Publishing Company, 1951, 159-160)

“A man who tithes said to me one day, ‘You can beat the bank of Monte Carlo once in a while but you can never beat the bank of God and his law. As ye give ye shall receive. It gives forth of its riches only to those who obey the law.’”

(Glenn Clark, God’s Reach, St. Paul, Minnesota: Macalester Park Publishing Company, 1951, 160)
