The article discusses the efforts of Lorenzo Snow, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to improve the church's finances during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Particular focus is given to a supposed divine manifestation in which it was revealed to him that fiscal stability could be regained by emphasizing the importance of full tithing payment. Details on a fictional depiction of Snow's revelation in the film "The Windows of Heaven" are also presented.
