“...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...”

“...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 and space forbid our speaking of the number of Chefooites who have passed through London this last quarter, to various spheres of work ; we hope, however, to read of their doings in future issues of our Magazine. Meantime, what about the Chefoo boys and girls now resident in Shanghai ?
CHEFOOLERIES.
ANSWERS.
(1) Adam’s Knob.
(2) Lao Chang of the Boys’ School. (Note :—When all the other servants went on strike recently, he was the only man to stay.)
(3) Sunday Cake.
(4) The Pinnacle.

“...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.
More graceful amenities between the Boys’ and Girls’ Schools. Mr. Alty and Mr. Taylor are both being congratulated on the birth of daughters.

On all sides I hear warm appreciation of Mr. Murray’s handling of the reins. All Old Boys will be glad to hear of his success in a piece of work which he was obviously not anxious to undertake. Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm have arrived and settled into work.

“...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...”

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...”

“...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...”

“...Stamp and Stencil Works.” He makes seals, stamps (steel and rubber), stencils, checks, labels, brass signs, etc. Wages are small and hours are long— nine hours a day. 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.

“...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...”
