The fund now totals $5,925,000. The fund is hourly climbing toward the $7,000,000 mark, which Centenary leaders orginally set out to attain. An announcement from Centen ary headquarters last night de clared that delinquent reports from different sections now are coming in rapidly. The Centenary total is yet to be supplemented with figures to be forwarded by nearly 300 churches which for different rea sons have delayed their returns. Before the week is far advanced Centenary leaders expected that the goal will be reached, and their hopes for a large oversubscription have not been entirely abandoned. Many of the smaller districts, which thus far havo not ranked high In the table, are coming through with subscriptions in such mounts that they probably will mark up their full quotas. On the honor roll of churches that met their allotments, and in scores of cases greatly exceeded them, there are about 375 churches. Balti more is leading in the number of "over top" churches, practically all of the churches in this district hav ing gone over with some to spare. Reports from throughout the United Sttaes indicated that more than $90,000,000 has been chalked up for the eighteen episcopal areas Into which the Centenary campaign was divided.
