The History and Use of the Tithe

5. Publishing Department Directors

W. C. White wrote W. S. Lowry on May 10, 1912: “In many conferences in past years the question has arisen as to whether it was lawful and expedient to pay the State canvassing agent from the tithe. This matter has been discussed in Union and in General Conference councils, and our brethren feel clear in supporting the State agent from the tithe because the books are very effective preachers. Whenever this question has been brought to Mother, she has given her approval of the plan generally adopted by our people.” HUT 19.2
