“...161 IN THE HANDS OF THE REDS A CAPTIVE’S STORY. large number of residents of Chefoo met in the China eV Inland Mission Memorial Hall on Thursday afternoon April 16th at 5. o’clock to join in thanksgiving to God for the deliverance of Messrs. Hayman and Bosshardt from captivity. The news of Mr. Bosshardt’s release reached Che- foo on Tuesday, April 14th and the C.I.M. lost no time in organising a gathering to celebrate the occasion and to give the community the opportunity of hearing from Mr. Hayman’s own lips an account of his experiences. The proceedings opened with the singing of Cowper’s hymn—'“God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform”. Mr. Bruce then read Psalm 118 and, with a few introductory words, called upon Mr. Hayman to speak. “We are here this afternoon to celebrate a victory in the Heavenlies” said Mr. Hayman. “Our captivity has been a matter which has affected the kingdom of God. I am glad to be able to thank you for the share that you have had in this victory...”

“...posted up everywhere that the captives realised in whose hands they had fallen. Next morning they were brought back with the Reds to Kiuchow. And what of Mr. and Mrs. Hayman ? The rat-tat-tat of machine guns and the hurling of bombs soon disposed of the tribal brigand rumour. Before escape was possible, the Reds were scaling the walls. They made a beeline for the property belonging to the Roman Catholics and the China Inland Mission. The priests were able to make their escape but the Haymans were caught in a trap. Some weeks previously two men had come to the Mission Compound and asked innumerable questions. Doubtless these were advance spies who obtained all the information they required about the foreigners and were therefore able to locate them as soon as they reached the city. Early the next morning, October 3rd, the order came for the married couple with their two children, Mr. and Mrs. Bosshardt and Miss Emblen to set off under guard. After earnest entreaties from Messrs. Hayman and...”

“...one of the parents. Thanksgiving was the prominent note of the service. After the singing of the first hymn, “Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven”, to the noble tune by Goss, the 103rd Psalm was read responsively. Prayer followed and the reading of passages from Hebrews XI and XII. Jt was on the first two verses of the twelfth chapter that Mr. Cliff based his remarks. Using the words “Jesus the author and finisher” as his text, the preacher enlarged on the thought that God was the Giver of the Mission, the Giver of the Schools, the Giver of Education and the Giver of Faith. The service concluded with the singing of a doxology especially familiar to members of the C.I.M. “How good is the God we adore.” TENNIS The north terrace of the Boys’ School presented a scene of gaiety by half-past three on Tuesday afternoon; groups of visitors chatted over their tea-cups; brothers and sisters met to share in the general buzz of conversation; and the tennis-court with its sandy glare stood out in sharp...”

“...children. The Indian scene by Lower I was also most attractive; in fact everything reflected the greatest credit on children and staff, and many parents rejoiced with thankfulness to God, that here in a foreign land, so far from home, their little ones were able to obtain so good an education, laying solid foundations for years to come, helping them to grow in body, mind, and spirit along lines calculated to fit them for the after years of life. CHINA INLAND MISSION SCHOOL ANNUAL PRIZE-GIVING The annual Prize-giving of the China Inland Mission Schools in Chefoo is always a gala occasion; but it was an especially auspicious event this year, because it was the first year that the Boys’ and Girls’ School programme, prize-giving and drill have been packed into one thrilling afternoon. Everyone present felt the excitement in the air, but to a newcomer it was especially contagious. In the first place, the weather was beautiful after the heavy rain of the day before, clear and sunny yet not too hot...”
