He served as a wise steward of Gods money (not only tithing, but giving generously to missions and other Christian causes). William never forgot his promise to God.

As he prospered, he instructed his accountants to increase the amount to 20% and later to 30%.” STUDY FOCUS Malachi 3:10-12, Ecclesiastes 11:1, Proverbs 19:17 THINK ABOUT IT 1.
