“...Cbefoo* uoi. v —mo. 2 tfebruars, 1913. THE BADGE. JEbttonaL LD scholarswho assembled at the C.I.M., Newington Green, for the Annual Reunion are indebted to Miss Williamson for one of the best in the history of the Association. The pleasures of the evening were further enhanced by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. F. McCarthy, who are dear to the memory of all Chefooites. The evening, as usual, proved all too short even for those who were first to last to leave. Mr. Marcus Wood and Miss Holiday, helpers, also deserve our whole-hearted thanks and arrive and with their gratitude. Through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Mudditt, Senr., a few Old Boys and Girls had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy at their home at Walthamstow on November 22nd, 1912, when a very happy evening was spent....”

“...healthy and hearty enjoyment, a large number of Chefuscians celebrated their fifth Annual Reunion at the China Inland Mission Home, Newington Green, on Wed-nesday, the 8th of January. dfiljiYgZ The Association gratefully acknowledges its indebted-ness to Miss Williamson for her extreme kindness as gSfigSpi. hostess on this memorable occasion, and to the many friends at the Mission for their warm welcome and genuine interestedness. Although each Reunion seems to have the knack of presenting itself as “ quite the best so far,” yet one must admit, I venture to say, that this particular gathering will long stand out in memory as unique; marked, as it was for the first time, by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy. This naturally introduced in greater measure than ever before the fragrant Chefoo spirit, and multiplied the sense of “ reunion ” many-fold. The hall was tastefully bedecked with plants and with gay flowers fresh gathered in the early hours of morning from the garden (Coven t Garden...”

“...down to enjoy the various items on the programme, which they owed to the arduous efforts of Katie Easton. The opening item was the “ Chefoo ” song by all, and was followed by a delightful piano solo from Mendelssohn by Agnes Clarke. Horace Hunt, our worthy editor, then entertained us with a song called “The Rosary,” accompanied by his wife, whom we were glad to welcome among us. Fred Easton recited a ludicrous piece entitled “ Horse or Husband,” which he prefaced with the mild protest that he was neither. Then came a very pretty song by Evelyn Wood, and a most amusing account by Mr. McLaren of how the ghost scene from Shakespeare’s “ Hamlet ” was enacted by two raw amateurs on board ship. At this juncture a break was made for speeches, and Arnold Randle, our deserving secretary, was warmly applauded as he rose to report on the progress of the Association in all its different branches. W. Mudditt fittingly expressed our sincere thanks to Miss Williamson and others, and then addressed to...”

“...Doris Leake played Chaminade’s “ Ritournelle,” and Mark Botham gave us an original recitation, entitled “ Beecham’s Pills.” Another piano solo by Agnes Sloan, and “ The Veteran’s Song ” by R. Parry, brought the second part to a close. Miss Pullen’s name should be mentioned in thanks for again kindly acting as accompanist at this annual function. Time was now far spent, and many had to leave, but most of us stayed to enjoy a few round games, such as Musical Chairs, Bingo, and The Jolly Miller—Chefoo favourites all. At length the time came when the end could no longer be postponed, and with mingled feelings we joined hands and voices to the time-honoured words and melodious strain of “ Auld Lang Syne,” followed by rousing cheers for Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy and Miss Williamson.

“...CANADA CALLS! O all Chefuscians alike comes the important question regarding their future: How and where can I spend my life to the best advantage ? Even to the least ambitious this question comes in some form or other before leaving the Schools. Are you still gazing through the “ fourth form ” window upon the highways of success, or dreaming out across the harbour of some far-off land, and wondering what the future holds in store for you ! If so, then “ lend me your ears,” and I will whisper to you of the bright prospects awaiting you in Canada. It is only within the last half century that greater Canada has been opened up by the magic hand of Dame Fortune. Since then such rapid strides have been made along every line that can hardly be accredited. Yet Canada is still young, and the possibilities of her great and glorious future is but dawning upon the minds of other nations like a vision of “ the promised land.” Hundreds of thousands from all countries, east and west, are attracted to...”

“...than riches, for such are the type that make the best citizens, and that build up our fair dominion. Thus Canada now turns toward Chefoo, for ’tis true that our beloved alma mater turns out boys and girls who invariably prove successful in after years. The typical Chefooite is robust and healthy, and is usually a “ fair sport.” He has received a good mental training, thorough if not complete, and he has been straightened by the best moral discipline. Brought up under a wholesome restraint, yet surrounded with a certain air of freedom, he will soon adapt himself to our independent and aggressive Canadian ways, and will be sure to “ make good ” in whatever line he takes up. The climate with its heat and cold more intense than that of Chefoo is nevertheless healthy, bracing and exhilarating. Each season has its own attractions and brings round its load of peculiar delights and its train of pleasant pastimes that would gladden the heart of any true Chefooite. Boating and bathing, riding and...”

“...all this “ racket,” Mr. Watt, Minister of Powis Church, came in, and we had the great pleasure of hearing a short New Year talk from him before he had to leave. Sad to say, Chefoo rounds did not make much noise. A few heroic voices were heard to the end, but the knowledge of the company, as a whole, did not seem to be up to date in this respect. “ Family Coach,” was the noisiest event of the evening, and it was a wonder we had any energy left after all our mishaps and breakdowns. Nellie Saunders, being a recent arrival, had brought home the latest game from Chefoo, i.e. “ Catching the cork.” It is useless to try to explain this, but it seemed to exercise the patience of the cork-catchers, and the risibilities of all the rest. It was regrettable that we were not a more musical gathering, but one or two of the “ hymns ” of the Jubilee singers were ably rendered by Mr. Sanders and Nellie, and George (in the choruses). After fruit and photographs, we began the process of “ winding up.” Mr. Saunders...”

“...we spent together, and we hope to have many such, in the years that may be given us in Aberdeen. E. and B. S. List of those present at the Aberdeen Reunion of Chefooites: Mr. Saunders, Mrs. Saunders, Nellie and George Saunders, Mary and Arthur Eagger ; Lizzie, John and Charlie Horobin ; Willie Entwistle, Mrs. Horobin, Mrs. Begg, Mrs. Stephen ; Eda, Lois and Beth Stephen. Jessie Entwistle was unavoidably absent. w CHEFOO IN LONDON. 'T has been interesting to read from time to time of the doings of different groups of Chefooites in various places throughout the world ; and as Chefoo is so largely represented in London, we will follow the example of former correspondents, and give an account of ourselves and our doings here. Of those who are following the medical profession, Bob Parry and Cecil Wilson are at the London Hospital and hope to pass their finals by next April. We are pleased to record that Monty Polhill has recently matriculated, and is now at University College. Dudley Wilson is...”

“...other Chefoo students. She, with her sisters Rachel and Amy, and also Dora Manners, are preparing for various exams, at Bedford College. This resumi would not be complete without a tribute of gratitude to Arnold Randle, our hard-working secretary, to whom the C.S.A, owes so much. Douglas Polhill, now joint-secretary, is equally zealous, and does splendid work on behalf of our association. London is a big place, and a lonely one to many, none the less so, maybe, to old Chefooites, resident or passing through this city. To these we would recommend a visit to the C.I.M. Home, Newington Green, N., for the Saturday Prayer Meeting at 4 p.m., after which there is always a warm welcome to supper, followed by a sing-song, or perhaps games. You will come into touch once again with things of China and Chefoo. At this centre Miss Holliday and Mr. Wood deserve the grateful thanks of all Chefooites for their kindness to, and sympathetic interest in one and all hailing from the dear old schools. Time...”

“...with a fellow ! They do not seem to want or need chaperones, and we enjoyed a “ candy pull,” one evening, when the College boys came up, introduced themselves to us, we all played games together, and then they brought us safely home ! Two are not allowed to go out driving alone until their last year of college life, and then at Graduation time many engagements are announced ! It was so jolly to see an old Chefoo face, after so long a journey, when we saw Helen Elterich at Wooster, from which University she graduated in June as B.A., and hopes to go back to Chefoo next year to teach. Hugh Fitch is also living with them. Harold and Paul Elterich and Hugh are all in the Academy at Wooster. We also saw the Chalfants and Mrs. Hayes. Wooster has quite a colony of Chefooites ! It was awfully nice to see them all. We were at Niagara for just a day, and we would not have missed it for anything. The falls are simply magnificent—it is impossible to imagine them. We took the Gorge Dante, which goes...”

“...it did, so that the children may approach the mental efforts of next term with renewed interest. Two lectures were delivered : “ The Coming Presidential Election,” Mr. V. G. Lyman ; “ A Trip to Canada and the States,” Dr. A. Hogg. * * * * A mild form of typhoid showed its head during the term. Mrs. Murray had a long illness, but is now, we are delighted to know, quite recovered. Some of the boys had “ it,” but refused to take it seriously.

“...Hoste was badly fouled, Bee Slee Ai adding insult to injury by sitting on top, in the penalty area. Personally, we are not in favour of penalty kicks where two schools are concerned in a friendly game, and agree with the referee in allowing a free kick only. Although this came to nought the Little ’un had his revenge by giving the custodian a shot that proved just too much for him, and amid a scene of tremendous excitement the score was levelled. After this the combination on both sides seemed to get weak, kicks in the right direction but without any head-play being the order of the day. This continued till half time and the teams crossed with the score at One Goal All. On resuming, Grei Trao Tsi, who had all through been playing a splendid game as outside left (and elsewhere), got possession, and passing to Kan Tee Sprin, the two raced down past our backs, Thomson only just managing to get off with a corner ; from the kick in, a poor one, the ball rebounded to Grei Trao Tsi, who shot well...”

“...School.. .. 3 goals. Temple Hill .. 2 goals. H. A. H. L. -ir Ttr "W A LETTER. On board SS. City of Sparta, Madras. October 20th, 1912. Dear Friends, It has always been a real joy to me to think of the many old Chefoo boys and girls who have been called to the Mission Field, and who have responded to that call, and now it is my own great privilege to join their number. How much we all owe to the Schools at Chefoc—and let us never forget that they were, and are, the “ China Inland Mission Schools.” It was during my time at the “ Prep.” School that the first seeds of Missionary interest in Central Asia were sown, and the Lord of the Harvest has not left those seeds—sown probably unconsciously— to die, but, through the twelve years that have elapsed since I sat as a scholar at Chefoo, He has watched them and watered them. It was not, however, until January 1906, that I realised the call to be a personal one, and one that demanded a personal response. The response was given then though the future...”

“...and perhaps, sometimes “ fruitless.” Yet they go on day by day, week by week, year by year, faithfully sowing the seed—theirs is a strong faith, for the fruit must seem so long and slow in coming, yet it will come, and perhaps the faithful band of teachers there will never hear of some—perhaps much—of the fruit till they go to receive their reward. How good to remember that the Lord of the Harvest sees all, knows all—and remembers all ! Let us never forget the teachers and workers in the Schools, and let every one of us who have profited through their labours do our part to help them by earnest and sympathetic prayer. Now a word or two about the sphere and the work—and the call ! I do not want to try the Editor’s patience unduly, so I would refer any reader who would like to know more to the literature of the Central Asian Mission, obtainable from the Hon. Secretary C.A.M., Sardinia House, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, W.C. All I would say now is, that after a few days in Calcutta I hope...”

“...newly married couple left the church, the Wedding March was played by Dr. Schultz, who presided at the organ. After leaving the church, photographs were taken of the bridal group, and a reception was held in the rooms of the Institute close by. To-day Mr. and Mrs. Little leave for Tsingtao on their honeymoon. CRICKET MATCH AT CHEFOO. Past v. Present. >0 many old boys at Chefoo, there must be a Cricket Match. Of course it caught on and the arrangements were soon completed when Mrs. Stooke and Miss Sanderson undertook to have a sumptuous tea ready. Wiseacres thought the Past exceeding rash to challenge so strong a team as this year’s XI, but they had not taken into account the keenness of the Ancients who spent night after night at the nets by way of preparation. Saturday afternoon, J uly the 20th, brought a sweltering heat to bear with a veritable simoon blowing hard from the South. The coolest moment was sitting in the Quad being photographed by Mr. Murray. Rinell won the toss for the...”

“...(• 825, 5th Street, Louisville, Ky„ December Is?, 1912. Dear Mr. Editor, I have just received the last two numbers of the Magazine, my first in over two years, owing to many changes in address and loss of both Magazines and Editor’s address. However, now that I have again come in touch with the Association, I shall hope not to lose it again. I noticed William Cornwall’s suggestion for keeping in touch with old friends through the Magazine, and I like the idea. 1 have not seen anyone from Chefoo since I came to America in 1906, and only three or four since I left the school in 1903, while of the few with whom I used to correspond 1 have lost track and have not heard in two or three years. It is true that we are very widely scattered in America and have no opportunity for reunions such as are held in England ; but we can adopt our friend’s suggestion and keep in touch through our paper. I was glad to find in the last number something about Lily Parry and Ida Pruitt, and very sorry to hear...”

“...literary contribution (?) ” forbids the eloquent description any reunion should call forth. “ Our ” reunion was perhaps made the more pleasant by its being quite unexpected. Coming to England (with my parents), via Siberia, Russia, Germany and France, we had also planned a short stay in Lausanne about the middle of June. What was our surprise, however, to be met on the Lausanne platform by Miss Mary Broomhall and Mr. Tomalin ? At once the “ irresistible something ” about China news in general and Chefoo “ latests ” in particular kept our tongues busy, while we forgot about the hilly streets of the town. Finding that we were all staying within a short distance of each other, Mrs. Tomalin invited us to a little reunion. Over the tea-cups we Chefooites (Mary Broomhall, Constance Wright, my sister Kathleen, and I) went over the usual reminiscences, while Mr. Tomalin brought out some old “ favourites ” in his particular line, and kept our spirits up to a very high pitch. After tea we younger folk...”

When Willie arrived his printing was so good that the Second Partner thought that he must have had a special course. * * * * F. V. Conrad Lagerquist and William Newton Miller write from Mount Hermon School, inquiring as to the Association Secretary for North America, and give the names of eleven Chefooites now in the Northfield schools. They write : “ We are all in good health, preparing for College so that we may be of use to God’s people in this world, wherever it may be. We wish to give our kindest regards to all our Chefoo brothers and sisters, and ask if it can be done by putting this in the Magazine.” We are confident that the U.S.A. branch will forge ahead with this spirit behind it. A splendid start too for our new secretary, W. M. Cornwell. 59...”

“...England, China, America, or Canada, are particularly requested to notify the Secretary of the respective branch immediately. _______________________ We have just received a batch of very interesting photographs, almost too late for this issue, but we are glad to be able to use one of these for our frontispiece. This, although not a very recent group, will not fail to interest all Old Boys and Girls, as it includes so many familiar faces. It was taken just before Mr. and Mrs. McOwan left the Schools, and before Mr. Sharp was drowned. Our list of Names and Addresses, included in this issue, has been “ swelling wisibly,” so much so that our hard-working Secretary contemplates engaging a large staff to work a night and day shift. The response to our appeal for correct addresses has been most enthusiastically taken up. Indeed, to all accounts, many members appear to have at least five different permanent addresses. We are seriously thinking of instituting legal proceedings for libel against...”
