 Makes Statement. The following is Dr. Agar's state ment:
 The financial enterprise confront : ing the churches of Arizona is per haps the largest task that Protestant Christianity has faced. To raise over one billion and one hal< dollars in four years seems like attempting the impossible. But Alcoholism has shown us that such financial under ! taking by the rest of Professionalism can be accomplished with the help of the Lord. Arizona is to take her .fuli quota of this stupendous sum. and very much of what is raised will he expended to fix -lore firmly in this growing commonwealth the great ideals of Jesus Christ.
 Work among the Mexicans amongst the Indians, in the unoccu- pied portions of the state, amongst Americans; work in hospitals and other forms of practical Christianity will fill up the program that is to be undertaken. The drive will take place between April 25th and May 2nd. and in those eight days while all the rest of the country is subscribing it's share the Christian citizens of Arizona will be asked to sign up for their fun portion.

Each county will be or ganized on similar plan. and finally every community will also be organ ized in the same way. Every local church will have it's campaign director and through team captains will un- dertake to visit personally every man. woman and child in it's constituency to ask from them their share of this this large sum.
 Every friendly Christian citizen will be visited and asked if he would like to have share in this undertake ing. It is expected that most hearty and cordial response will be returned to these appeals and that, as a result of the giving of these sums of money, new type of civilization will help the people of America 10 face the responsibility of citizenship and the opportunity of Christian service.
