EDITORIAL.
HILE others are enjoying the unadulterated bliss
CCV of Easter holidays, the hapless editors find that
the editorial once more is proving to be the proverbial fly
in the ointment.
With this number we have the pleasure of present-
ing our readers with the first of a new volume. We are
greatly indebted to Mrs. Martin for the sketch of the new
classroom, and here we would like to express our hearty
thanks to her for it.
The Compound has seen various changes since the
issue of our last number. Another semi-detached house
has been built between the San and the Girls’ School, and
much curiosity has been aroused as to who its occupants
will be. A wall now runs round the south side of the Boys’
School field and up the gully to the B.D....”

Towards the end of the term the girls had a pleasant
surprise in the flying visit of Miss Iv. Judd, an Old Girl,
who was passing through Chefoo on her way to Hwailu,
Hopei.
During the first part of the term Miss Cooke was
housekeeper at the Girls’ School, as Miss Williams was
detained in Shanghai on account of her health, but later,
when the latter returned to take up her former post, Miss
Cooke left for Shansi, accompanied by the best wishes
of all the girls. The Girls’ School are glad to welcome
Miss Dobson and Miss Macnair as members of the Staff.
The former has taken up the position of Matron.
Changes in the personnel of the Staff have taken
place also in the other Schools. Miss Goddard has left for
furlough and Miss Day is now wardrobe-keeper at the Prep.
School. After being on the Staff of the Boys’ School for
about fifteen months, Mr. Lyall has left for Hungtung,
Shansi, where, when he has acquired the language, he hopes
to begin work among children and young people. We take

The local people rose nobly to the occasion and contribulted
about $60. On Christmas morning one of the Preps, said
that he had heard the angels singing, “Away in a mangeirT’
Christmas morning dawned fine and brisk and great
excitement prevailed, especially in the homes where there
were boys and girls. The afternoon was left free for
families to have their own enjoyments, the Compound
festivities being fixed for the tollowing day. We were
greatly honoured on the afternoon of Boxing Day, by a
visit from Ranji Panji, the famous Indian dwarf prince,
who danced for us and conversed quite affably, Mr. Lyall
acting as interpreter. But interesting as his Highness
was, he faded into the background when Father Christmas
entered.
New Year quickly followed Christmas and then we
settled down to enjoy the last month of holidays.
This year the C.S.S.M. programme was a change
from the usual. There were a series of talks on Missionary
work in...”

(?t summery haze, early dispelled by brilliant sun-
shine, preluded a morning of exceptional beauty
on the China Inland Mission Compound, where all was in
readiness for the event to which so many had looked for-
ward—-the marriage of Mr. Stanley Gordon Martin and Miss
Frances Heather Moore.
The Memorial Hall, which was most tastefully de-
corated with cinerarias, geraniums and blossom, was com-
fortably filled with the girls and boys of the C.I.M. Schools
and with many friends, when the bride arrived punctually
at 10.30 a.m. Escorted by the Rev. A. Lutley and closely
followed by the bridesmaid, Miss K. Macnair, the bride
walked down the aisle to the strains of Wagner’s Bridal
Chorus, and at the beautifully decorated platform met the
bridegroom, who was attended by Mr. S. Houghton as
groomsman.
The bride wore a beautiful dress of hand-made lace
over oyster satin. Particular interest attached to the lace,
which had belonged to her great grandmother, and to the
veil made by the bride’s...”
