CHURCH BEGINS $10,000 DRIVE

An Intensive campaign to raise SIO,OOO will be begun in a few days by the First Christian church. A preliminary effort is being made at this time. The church bulletin for last Sunday said: "If you think this church cannot do a big thing in a big way, just watch the progress of the campaign to raise SIO,OOO. In fact, $5,000 is already in sight and we expect from $6,000 to $7,000 in black and white pledger in the next 10 days.” The purpose of this fund is to pay off an old indebtedness on the building, make some needed repairs, and pay for the recently purchased parsonage. In about two weeks a drive will be made to raise the full SIO,OOO.
