HERE are, happily, throughout the world, many persons of all countries and in every clime who recognise that it is a religious and moral obligation to give; and the publication of The Sacred Tenth has brought to the knowledge of the Author that, as in past ages, so now, many earnest people not only approve but practise the principle of setting aside from their incomes "not less than a tenth for God."

Some of these have suggested that inasmuch as the two volumes of The Sacred Tenth are not, and cannot be, within the reach of all, it is very desirable that there should be published apart, at least those portions thereof which are directly concerned with Holy Scripture.

Hence the appearance of the following chapters, to which is added a revised edition of the original bibliography with additions up to date. That these Scriptural studies may help many inquirers to perceive and know" what is the mind and will of God respecting their giving, and that they may have "grace and power faithfully to perform the same," is the prayer and fervent desire of the Author.
