The ' Worldwide Church ' will be illustrated in the interludes this term by true stories about Christians of different nations. Today's interlude is about Henri Perrin, young French priest, who in 1943 went to Germany as an ordinary workman so that he could serve the thousands 01 French conscript-labourers who were being deported to work in the Nazi war factories. He was arrested and served a long term of imprisonment in a Leipzig gaol, where he exercised a remarkable influence over his fellow-prisoners.

A Return Journey to the Lake District by D. G. Bridson on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the death of William Wordsworth
Incidental music by Antony Hopkins
The programme takes its title from the small river that flows into Lake Winder-mere from Grasmere and Rydal. D. G. Bridson has retraced Wordsworth's steps through Lakeland, now about to celebrate the centenary of the poet's death, and evoked its associations with his life and work. He gives impressions of Lakeland as it is today, ' where still the Rothay waters weave, Their patterns with a shuttling twig,' and illustrates his sound picture with recordings made this month at Grasmere, Hawkshead, and other places in the Wordsworth country.
