In Their Own Words
“President James B. Walkley said that as soon as wickedness enters into the soul of man the Spirit of God and goodness goes out from him and vice versa. Related an instance to show that blessings recur to those who pay tithing. Every law obeyed will surely bring its reward. — Millennial Star 74:39”
