Letter from Orson Smith, Simpson Montgomery Molen, and Isaac Smith, 27 March 1897

Logan, Utah, First Presidincy Dear Brethern For some years past we have felt the great need of a little means as a stake fund with which to meet the current expenses of the Stake and the necessity for it grows greater each year. The law of tithing, though not observed as it should be, by a great many, is no doubt the best observed of all the temporal comandments, and is largely looked upon as the source from which stake expenses should be drawn, and when donations are solicited, we are constantly confronted by the question. why don't you get some of the tithing. Stakes are worse off then wards, as they are general, while Wards are particular or local organizations, and upon these we have to call for aid. While they feel that they each have all they can do to keep their work going. Therefore

I received a call on April 27, 1895 to fulfill a mission in the Southern States, But as my Father had been home but a short time & I having had to labor hard to keep things agoing at home & to help him also. I was not able to do any thing for my self & had Just set out to do something in regards to making me a home when I was asked by the President's of the Quorum If I would be willing to have my name sent up as a candidate for a missionary. I told them I wouldent want to refuse if I was called, but I had started to build me a home & had the material on hand for it which if lost would be quite a loss for me as I had to work hard for it but they thought it would be 3 or 4 years before I might be called, but in a short time I received the call, so I labored on for some time not knowing what to do about it untill late in the sumner. I wrote you a letter from white River as that is the place whare I was engaged & has been untill now. Telling you my conditions, that I was unmaried & had had but little experiences in speaking [upside-down text] If he can go this fall, without forfeiting his claims he had better do so. if not them let him get titles & then go.
