WILL CONTINUE CHURCH DRIVE
 ALL THIS WEEK
Campaign Extended Week to Reach National Quota -$115, 100000 Reported Already - Churches in Arizona Raise S195,O0

With more than $100,00O,0 900 actually reported up to Friday in the United financial campaign of the 1nterchurch World Movement, and this from but 50 per cent Of the denominations and 15 per cent of the states, it is evident that with few exceptions all of the denomi- nations will exceed or equal their quotas.
 These denominations have respond ed nobly to the call of humanity that was heard around the earth. With unanimity never before equalled they contributed with a will and whole | heartedness toward the fund for the greatest world program ever con- l ceived.
 But in the magnificent struggle to reach their quotas during the week of the drive, the workers in the denomi national teams have neglected the non- denominational or public subscription i fund. This neglect, however, was due 1 to the very natural cause of the work CTS giving their time to their denomi national work first, and with the rais- l ing of the church quotas the workers are turning their efforts to the citizens or public division of the campaign with a renewed spirit of determina- tion
 Extend Drive One Week With this the case, the United
 Financial Campaign of the Inter
 church Nsxssd Movement has been
 extende drough the week of May 1 2, all nsN week, the church
 teams can work on public sub
 scriptions in order to reach the l national goal. This announcement
 was made yesterday by J. O. Sax 1 son, state director of the campaign. ! At the close of the weeks work irs the campaign, Mir. Saxson last night gave out the following statement sum- ming up progress made during the | drive in this state:
 1 .'Reports received from over the state last night show Arizona has done ] a great weeks work in trying to raise her quota for the Interchurch World Drive.
 Arizona Pledges Sfe5.oo0 l The combined quota for the churche, If the state is s257.256. Of this amount ! the church people have subscribed S195, ,506. leaving a balance of little over $60,000, which has to be raised | from the churches to make their quota.
 "Of the amount raised, the Baptist ! 0hurch. with much the largest quota. has done splendid work, with the Pres- byterian, Congregational and Chris ian churches fighting hard to reach their goals. Tn this drive, as in all re- cent drives, the greatest difficulty has been to secure workers. Most all work CTS in this great forward movement of l the church must come rom lHe churches in their respective communi- ties. The task of raising their church ruota has been so great that they nave had little time to devote to t'1e r9's11G of the citizens quota in each county This is not only true in Arizona, but in the entire nation.
 Now Turn To Citizens Fund l For this reason, Lyman l.. Pierce national director general. wired state ! headquarters yesterday to continue tho drive for one more week in order to give churches the opportunity to clean up their quotas Sunday and then fur nish workers to go to the citizens and business houses of the United States next week and present the great for
 ward movement of the church an6 give the citizens in general who appre- ciate the church in their community an opportunity to express that apP-e- citation by making a pledge, and doing their part in raising the great fifty million fund which is to come iron the friendly citizens and be given to the churches to carry on this great
