for the first time
I
am sending a real tithe--a full one-tenth of
our money for this week.
I
really feel
I
have been stupid in the past for calling God a
liar by my actions and not trusting in His words.
I
was always
afraid
I
would not be able to pay my bills if
I
gave God a full
tenth, but
I
know now
I
was wrong. Our finances are in bad shape
because of my selfishness and greed.
I
only hope and pray for
God's forgiveness and mercy.
I have just finished reading the
GOOD NEWS magazine. The articles
start paying God His share of my
lopes to send in my tithes.

I received my October/November issue of The GOOD NEWS in the mail
yesterday and was very impressed with the two articles on tith
ing. They really made me stop and think that disobeying God's
law on tithing may be why I have been unemployed for over a year
and my financial situation is so meager. At any rate, I realize
just how wrong it is of me not to give God what is rightfully His.
I know my tithe right now is small, but please accept it and use
it to continue spreading the good news of the World Tomorrow.

Your article about the man who co�ldn't afford to tithe has made
me realize that even though I'm not working, I can afford to
tithe. Thank you for that bit of information and enlightenment.
Enclosed is my first tithe to God. I want to put God first in
everything I do.

THE INCREDIBLE PLOT TO KILL THE POPE: THE SUSPICIONS GROW MORE OMINOUS
The chain of evidence and circumstance surrounding the attempted assassi
nation of Pope John Paul II in the spring of last year is leading straight
in one direction--Moscow. Here are the facts so far:
On May 13, 1981, the pope was shot and wounded by a would-be assassin in St.
Peter's Square in Vatican City. The assailant, Mehmet Ali Agca (pronounced
Ah-dja), a right-wing Turkish terrorist, was subsequently arrested, tried
and sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime.
