World Day of Prayer To
Be Held Friday In St.
Mark’s Lutheran Church
World Day of Prayer in its
79th yearly observance will, on
Friday, March 5. unite the
community of Cuero with tire
world community in prayerful
supplication.
An invitation to all persons in-
terested in being part of this
Christian fellowship has been
extended by Mrs. M. M. Jen-
son. chairman of the local
World Day of Prayer and her
cooperating committee of Unit-
ed Church Women.
Mrs. Phillips
Will Rev few
Mrs. A. J. Phillips will re-
view Howard Breslin's book ti-
tled "A Hundred Hills ’ at the
University Club meeting Tues-
day, March 2, in the Women's
Club.
Mrs. J. W. Parker and Mrs.
Robert C. Davis are hostesses.
The service will be held in St.
Mark’s Lutheran Church at 4
p.m. Mrs. Jenson of St. Mark's,
and Mrs. Norman McPherson
of the First Methodist Church
are the leaders.
Uniting six continents and
more than 125 nations, this first
Friday of the Lenten season has
been set aside as a time for
prayers for peace and brother-
hood on the theme, "What Doth
the Lord Require".
In writing this service, Mrs.
Jesse Jai McNeil of Pasadena.
California called the Church ‘‘to
a radical and deep involvement
in affairs of the world in the
name of Christ”. Mrs. McNeil,
wife of the Reverend Dr. Jes-
se Jai McNeil, author and min-
ister, has an outstanding record
in church leadership, having
served as a member of the Na-
tional Beard of Manages* of
I'nited Church Women since
1957 and as a member of the
National Baptist Convention,
USA, Inc. While a resident of
Michigan, she was the first Ne-
gro to receive the citat i o n
“Layman of the Year" from
the Detroit Council of Churches,
and the second woman to be so
honored.
In a world beset by the agony
of rebirth where acceleration,
overskill and segregation are a
cold reality, this service of the
World Day erf Prayer consisting
of familiar passages from the
Old and New- Testaments en-
twined with hymns and prayer
will offer each participant the
warmth of fellowship throueh
Jesus Christ which transcends
all barriers.
As a service of the laity, for
seventy - nine years this day of
prayer has given Christian wit-
ness through re-dedication and
mission, person to person, race
to race, and nation to nation.
During the progr am in Cuero
Friday, a solo entitled “He’s
Got the Whole World in His
Hands” will be presented by
Evelyn Jackson, after which
Mrs. T. W. Humphrey will give
a brief message on the theme
of the service.
All church women throughout
the city are invited to take part
in the choir or the service.
Light Colored
Walls Favored
Moonglow. Pink Chiffon,
Limelight. New lipstick ooiors
for milady? No, indeed. They
are the names of new colors for
the wall* of her home!
And they are just three of a
sprightly new collection of 15
wall paint colors being shown
by paint dealers in the Cuero
area.
“The new shades in Super
Kem-Tone latex wall paint and
Kem - Gk) enamel reflect the
continued decorating interest in
pale pastels,” Jimmy W. Tol-
bert, manager of the Sherwin-
Williams branch at 202 East
Main Street said.
“Moonglow is a creamy white
with a barely noticeable gray
undertone,” he expla i n e d .
“Pink Chiffon is a very deli-
cate blue - pink tint Limelight
is an equally delicate green.
Other colors in the group range
from gold - toned Summer
Straw to orange - tinted Pink
Geranium and blue - green
Water Lily.”
Pastel wall colors have long
dominated the decorating scene
and indications are that they
will continue to do so, the local
..................................... ..................
businessman observed. Howev-
er, he noted that there is a de-
finite trend toward highlighting
the pale tints with bold accent
tones.
“More annd more homemak-
ers are using clear, bright ac-
cents with muted pastels to dra-
matize interesting architectural
features or call attention to es-
pecially prized furnishings and
accessories.” he said. “The ov-
erall effect Is one of pleasant
change and added decorative
interest.”
