VEN in the comparative stillness of the evening in which we write, we are not free from all the conflicting sounds of the shortest and fullest term of the year. True the blare of the gramophone and the desultory blows of the untiring hammer are absent but they have ceased, only to give place to the tinny notes of the mandoline and the melodious strains of cramped bodies in pursuit of clean- liness. The Editorial has recently become almost a mere diary of events, a convenient but lazy usage, but the editors with tire vast responsibilities of the Jubilee number on their shoulders feel that they cannot allow it to sink to such a mundane level. The Jubilee of the Schools makes us...”

“... The service was conducted by Mr. A. H. Faers, who outlined the history of the schools from their inception, detailing the main changes which had taken place in the sites and buildings of the three schools and showing im- pressively the hand of God in all that had been plarmed and put into operation. The Schools were founded ex- pressly to provide for the education and training of the children of C.I.M. parents after Dr. Hudson Taylor him- self had experienced the health-giving properties of Chefoo. In his closing remarks, Mr. Faers addressed the boys and girls in these words. “This is but a rapid survey of what the Lord has done for us at this centre, and, as we today rejoice together in hearty thanksgiving for all that is past, may the remembrance of this day put heart into your young lives, enabling you to go forward in faith and hope, know- ing that what our Heavenly Father has done in the past, He is well able to continue in the future...let us heartily thank Him for His great love...”

“...Gardiner. Mrs. McMullan, after singing ‘The owl’, The Elfman’ and ‘Little Pig Nose’ sang ‘I dunno’ a second time. After a reading by Mr. Martin,* in the form of a dialogue on the merits of rowing, Mrs. Malcolm sang ‘Twickenham Ferry’ and ‘In Edinboro Toun’. The evening’s proceedings were brought to a close with the united singing, by the whole audience, of the me- trical version of the twenty-third Psalm. JUBILEE UNITED PICNIC To celebrate the Jubilee fittingly is not easy in a place isolated as Chefoo. Where are the flocking past generations? Where are the dinners, the Extremely Dis- tinguished Visitors, with Titles, Orders, Pomp and Splend- our? All up and down the world they are., and /so we here, conscious of their remembrances but lamenting their absence, have to devise our own celebrations. An extra day was added to the usual Foundation Day break, and this was devoted to a united picnic. Those responsible found that general opinion was- in favour of the Lighthouse Island as the place...”

“...reading of the letter given below was greeted with loud and prolonged applause and the opportunity is now taken of publicly thanking those who have so generously and thoughtfully contributed to a gift of such value and usefulness. June 15, 1931. R. F. Harris, Esqr., China Inland Mission Boys’ School, Chefoo. Dear Mr. Harris, In nearly every part of the world today the thoughts of hundreds of old scholars of the China Inland Mission Schools will revert back to the days of their youth and the happy years they spent in Chefoo. Apart from the occasion being the anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the Boys’ School, it is the fiftieth year since the schools were first established in Chefoo. As a token of their grateful indebtedness to their respective alma maters a number of old students have raised a fund with which to make a presentation to the Schools, and I, on the behalf of the enclosed list of subscribers, have great pleasure in sending you here- with cheques for Mex. $395.00...”

“...53 “Malcolm” Memorial Prize. ■In the summer of 1927, the community of Chefoo suffered a great loss in thp death of Mr. William Malcolm, or “Bill Malcolm” as he was affectionately called by those who knew him. As he was an Old Boy of the School, many of his friends felt that a special Prize might be given yearly in his memory; and Mr. G. Wayte Wood interested himself with others in collecting a fuud for this purpose. This Bund has been placed on deposit in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and it is the desire of Dr. and Mrs. Malcolm that the yearly interest should, subject to the approval of the Principal and Staff of the Boys’ School, be given in a lump sum to the Senior Prefect and Captain of the School.

By the desire of the large majority of the Boys and the unanimous vote of the Staff, it has been awarded to D. Landsborough. Leaving Bibles. D. Landsborough W. Olesen T. Hirst A. Moore N. D.

“...as an extension of the Second Form East Corridor. During the course of the term two fire-drills took place within two weeks. They were scenes of wild stam- peding along the corridor for most of us and of a dreamy amble for the rest. Two nets for practice were ready at the beginning of the cricket season. They are abreast, and in the same part of the field as the old net. They have proved a real acquisition to the cricket of the whole School. The schools once more, with the foreign community of Chefoo, enjoyed another Empire Day of Sports—and ices. Many thanks are due to those who arranged for all the activities. As a result of the Foundation Day Tennis1 some parents challenged the Boys’ School Tennis Six to a con- test on the front court of the School. The older genera- tion dealt a damaging blow to the reputation of the younger generation. A picnic of the prefects and Vlth Forms of the G.S. and B.S. to the Second Bleach by boat—an entirely new venture—took place towards the end of the term...”

“...67 AUSTRALASIA. CHEFOO REUNION. Melbourne. At our Reunion in December 1930 we were fortunate to 'have with us Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy. We all enjoyed meeting them again. There were 22 Chefooites present, and besides Competitions etc. the old Chefoo games were played. Handley Entwistle had had made a large cake with 44 candles representing the. years of service spent by Mr. and Mais. McCarthy in Chefoo. After a very pleasant evening Mr. McCarthy gave us a short Bible reading and address, and we closed with the 23rd Psalm. Mr. McCarthy was also one of the speakers at the Upwey Convention at Christmas, when many Ohefooites were again privileged to hear him. Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy left for England in January 1931 carrying with them the best wishes of the Chefooites in Austalia. We hope that their meeting with Chefooites on the other side of the world will be as happy. PRAYER FELLOWSHIP. These meetings which are held on the first Saturday evening of every month at the C.I.M.
