The plans of tTie various churches are not yet complete, but they will deal with the progress of the respective I'itiii'i'hes from their earliest days in the I '..minion. The various missions and i heir activities will be described or \ niliollserl, and attention will lie drawn I', special denominational appeals, such .< that for the new Anglican cathedral. I an work of various homes, orphanages and charitable institutions will be icat tired. • •no feature common to all the lunches will be the history of the ' ii<iroll in this country, its growth, and. in the case of mission activities, how New Zealand, originally a mission field, s now assisting overaoas missions. The overseas missions operated from New ..enland will also receive attention. The programme of the united churches will cover the same period as the national celebrations, and as the story of each church teems with inciiient, there will be some difficulty in .b'citlTng what to leave out. Though ae court is only in its initial stages II present, the respective programmes promise to be full of interest, and edueative value. Each stand will symbolise "lid instruct, and in the lectures sound pictures will be used to amplify the addresses.
