Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: May 27, 1909 A closing hymn, exceedingly well sung and the benediction, pronounced by Elder Hinckley, concluded an impressive and inter esting service, and one feature which aroused interest amongst the visitors was the fact that although the missionaries had to pay for the cost of the hall and literature, no collections were taken, and from inquiries I gathered this was their usual custom. The upkeep of the Church is met by the levying of a voluntary tithe, each member contributing the Biblical one-tenth of his or her income. This is not only sufficient to maintain the Temple and other Church buildings in Salt Lake and other towns in America and elsewhere, but also to support any of their members who may have fallen upon evil times financially.
