Tithing

Toker Sept 14, 1870

To the Bishops of the several Wards in Kane, Washington, & Iron Counties.

Dear Brethren:-

The Cooperative Stores in your wards and those employed therein which do not pay their tithing in cash should pay it in stock at cash rates, delivered to Bro. Winsor. If the stores and those thus employed will do this punctually they will attain to greater prosperity than if neglected. The tithing due from the Cooperative Store at St George should be used in constructing the Meeting House at that place.

Your Brother in the Gospel
(Signed)

Brigham Young
