1. Care of the Poor, the Sick, and the Aged
“Through circumstances some will become poor. It may be that they were not careful, that they did not know how to manage. Others through sickness or misfortune are poor. Whatever is the reason, they are in need, and to help them is an important line of home missionary work. These unfortunate, needy ones should not be sent away from home to be cared for. Let each church feel its responsibility to have a special interest in the feeble and the aged. One or two among them can certainly be taken care of. The tithe should not be appropriated for this work.”—Ms 43, 1900; MR 177.EGWCUTF 22.6
“The tithe is set apart for a special use. It is not to be regarded as a poor fund.”—Counsels on Stewardship, 103.EGWCUTF 22.7
