.L. KRAFT, HEAD OF THE KRAFT CHEESE CORPORATION, WHO HAD GIVEN APPROXIMATELY 25% OF HIS ENORMOUS INCOME TO CHRISTIAN CAUSES FOR MANY YEARS, SAID, "THE ONLY INVESTMENT I EVER MADE WHICH HAS PAID CONSISTENTLY INCREASING DIVIDENDS IS THE MONEY I HAVE GIVEN TO THE LORD." J.D. ROCKEFELLER SAID, "I NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TITHE THE FIRST MILLION DOLLARS I EVER MADE IF I HAD NOT TITHED MY FIRST SALARY, WHICH WAS $1.50 PER WEEK" (W. A. CRISWELL, A GUIDEBOOK FOR PASTORS, P. 154).
