Life Spent in Service of Others All those who know Mr Laughton speak of him as being, in a very rare sense of the word, a good man. His great ability and driving force, combined with a true humility and love of his fellowmen, have been the foundation of a lifetime spent in the service of others. Born in the Orkney Islands, Mr Laughton has some of the mystic qualities which give him an affinity with the Maori people. Fifty years ago, he commenced full-time work for the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand when he established the first church at Pio Pio. Here he ministered to both Maori and Pakeha, so it was a natural decision for him to accept the challenge to serve in the Presbyterian Mission in 1918.
