Nor did the Founder of Christianity repeal this Jewish tithing, but, on the contrary, He expressed distinct approval of it. When Church history on this subject begins, our sections on Catholic or Universal Teaching, Practice, and Legislation testify that the principle of tithing was taught and observed for sixteen centuries throughout the Christian world, including England, until the time of Henry VIII.
