A convert's demonstration of faith and tithing

“The next morning he invited me to go out and see his garden. The piece of ground had been thoroughly cultivated and had well repaid the owner for the tinie and labor he had spent upon it. As we Avalked down the path I said to my friend : 'You have a nice little crop of potatoes.' 'The best I have ever raised,' he said. Stooping down he pulled up a few vines from Avhicli he shook five large potatoes, which he took uj) and showed me with a feeling of pride. 'How' many potatoes did you plant in that little spot?' I asked. He looked at me in astonishment. 'Potatoes!' he exclaimed: ' I planted only a quarter of one.' 'Five from a quarter, twenty from a Avhole one. That is a pretty good investment,' I said. Then pointing to the potatoes I added : 'Do you not think that He Avho has given you twenty potatoes for one could make nine shillings go as far as ten or eighteen as far as tAventy ?' He stood for a few seconds in solenni thought. Then turning to me he said: 'I believe. I will never doubt again. These potatoes have preaehed to me the best sermon on the law of tithing I have ever heard.' — Millennial Star 84:48”
