Laird, director of the Children's Special Service Mission, Wellington, was the speaker, telling- the story of "Pilgrim's Progress," with the aid of a wonder ful set of coloured slides. Hundreds of children thoroughly enjoyed the "story, the slides, and the special chorus singing. This service was oragamsed and arranged by the Hutt Valley Y.M.C.A. as part of the big Creative Leisure Campaign taking place during uie present school holidays. The supervised holiday programme is not only popular with the children but with parents, particularly those who are engaged in war work. Dr. Laird showed and told oilly half the story on Sunday.
