Young Pastor Rushford put his hope in the old practice of tithing, with which the Northern Baptist Convention has recently had much success. He began by setting his farmer congregation an example. Out of his own salary of $2,000 a year, he returned $200 to the church. Over & over again in his sermons he reminded his flock that tithing was the Christian standard.
