The misconception by some bethels that the first blessing collection is or1I'{ for the tithe box, while the second one is for the use of the behtel, is wrong. The correct thing is, the first collection, second to third ar1d fourth collections all go i11to the tithe box. All· Fellowships in Brotherhood should not fail to pay their tithe. This is the way to pay it: At the close of any meeting, the total amount realised should be divided into ten parts. One part is the tithe and it should be paid into the tithe box. An ir:dividual should also try to pay titr1e for his/her ovvn good. Constant paying of tithe attracts progress to Fellow- ships and individual. The tithe money can be changed but care must be taken to avoid shortage and missing.
