THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE.
Many will be pleased to know that Mrs. Scott-Challice (nee G. McCarthy) has kindly consented to act on the Committee.
This will be of particular interest to those who were in the Schools between the years of 1888 and 1892, since the present officers of the Association do not go back earlier than 1894, and there may have been an inclination among the older Old Boys and Girls to think that they have been forgotten, which, we are glad to say, is very far from being the case.
Members of the C.S.A. will be encouraged to know that, in the short space of a year, the Magazine has doubled its circulation.

“...back from his first furlough to do, as he hoped, his best work—when the call came.
In all these respects his death recalls that of the Rev. Geo. Hunter, whom many of our readers knew and loved sincerely, and to whom Dr. Stooke ministered in his last illness at I-chang ; and that God should require two such men to lay down their arms when trained for the conflict and keen for the fight surely argues a calm certainty as to the ultimate outcome of missions in China.
One of the first-fruits of our Schools, Dr. Stooke has by his life and death raised a high ideal for those “ old boys ” who were his contemporaries and to all who shall follow after.
The text which describes him best to me as I recall his bright and endearing personality is :—
“ I count not myself to have attained, but I follow on.”

Dora and Jack Wright have just arrived in England. They broke their voyage by a five weeks’ stay in Switzerland. Both hope to continue their schooling in this country.

Ida and John Pruitt have been distinguishing themselves in America, and therefore doing credit to the dear old Schools. Ida graduates from Cox College in May, and John is having a three years’ course in two years, at Macon University. He is hoping to study medicine afterwards.
SLUMBER SONG.
The chattering magpie on the tree Is drowsily at rest,
The lotus flower has sunk to sleep Upon the dark pool’s breast.
The dragon-fly upon the wing
Has stayed awhile to hear me sing, Sleep, little blossom of my heart, My baby, sleep.
The cries are quiet in the street,
The sunny air is still,
All living things are hushed to...”
