World Day of Prayer March 6 Church Women United will join millions of people on March 6. 1070 in a bond of prayer spanning six continents. Pray ers will be offered in 75 lan guages and a thousand dialects. World Day of Prayer is spon sored in the United States by Church Women United and will be celebrated in 25,000 commun ities. Here in Newberry, C h u r c h Women United invite all to join this worldwide fellowship at 3 p.m. Friday. March (i at St. Luke's Fpiscopal Church. Par ticipating in the celebration will be Mrs William Mclnnis, Mrs. J. E. Wiseman. Sr. and the Reverend Frederick Byrd. This annual chain of prayer links the first voice at dawn in the tropical Tongas, just west of the International date Line with millions of others as it passes throughout the Day across oceans and continents. By nightfall, its message of hope will have followed the sun's arc until the last prayers are said in units of Church Women in Hawaii and the islands of Alaska. The theme. “Take Courage" “Moet Houden". “Esfuerzate" —was chosen and made rele vant by an International Com mittee headed by Miss Gudrun Diestel of Germany. The pro gram was developed as a house wife from Egypt, a social work er from Guyana, a church work er from the Philippines, and a woman from the U.S.A., discov ered a common bond of wor ship and witness. The challenge of the 70's across the continents is to bear witness to one’s convictions when morals and decadence are at a premium. In India. Kenya or the U.S.A. it takes courage to be open to the unknown in the 70's, which are bringing so many changes to families the world over. World Day of Pray er will be reflecting courage for responsible action. World Day of Prayer provides an occasion for participation in a nationwide offering commit ted to helping others “take cour age". This year's emphases are. new religious educational mat erials for Latin Americans and Spanish speaking families in this country; support of a Se cretary for Women's work of the Near East Christian Coun cil; the dispossessed Spanish migrant and Indian American communities. These are part of an Intercontinental Mission, a fund through which Church Wo men expresses its concern for others in concrete terms in cluding grants for Christian lit erature on six continents, and grants to Christian colleges in Asia and Africa.

The North Carolinians jumped into an almost immediate lead and were never seriously in trouble; at half-time the score was 37-27.
