Editorial
IRST of all 1 would like to thank those who have responded to our urgent appeals about paying up the subscriptions due for the magazine, and remind-others that there is still time for them to fulfil their obligations. If every one would do their duty in this way we might have more magazines, and then the news contained in them would be more up-to-date.
Next year we are beginning our new scheme of having the magazine printed in' two parts, so will the Australian contributors please send all news to Shanghai to Mr. E. F. Hardman, while Canadian and American members will continue to send their contributions to us in England.
Will all those sending articles for publication please take note of these dates: For China, all articles should be received before March 15th, July 15th and November 15th, for the current issues, and in England they should be in by January 15th, May 15th...”

“...by “ Old Girls and Boys.” He then stated that the photographs of the “ Old Boys ” who paid the supreme sacrifice in the late war had been taken from the walls of the Schoolroom after the Brass Tablet, the combined gift of Mr. W. B. O. Middleton and Mr. Mauchan, had been erected, and that it was proposed to place them' in an Album and to fix the latter in the School Library. Then, too, he said that he was planning to bring out as a publication a Souvenir Album of the Schools, containing photographs, old and new, of the Schools and their activities. After he had spoken, Miss F. Reid, a-former member of the Girls’ School Staff, stepped forward and handed-Mr. Taylor a cheque for $100.00 with a promise that if the last thousand were raised that year, she would give the final fifty dollars in the amount of $8,000.00 required before building operations commenced.
Mr. McCarthy then read the names of the thirty-four Honoured Dead while we all stood in silence, and then we continued the programme...”

“...—Refreshments.
7.15. —Exercise.
8.0. —Ululation.
8.30. —Novelties.
9.0. —IoHANNUS BrUNUS.
9.15. —Oration.
9.20.—Necessitation.
9.45.—Prayers.
This very intriguing Programme announced the Reunion, and even a dash for the dictionary did not solve all the mysteries.
We duly “ congregated ” at the Mission House, in the Hall which was so kindly lent, and it was a great pleasure to find so many of one’s own “ generation ” there, and also to get some of the up-to-date news from the latest arrivals from the Schools. “Anticipation” at 6.10 was followed at 6.30 by realization in the form of the delightful and ample refreshments provided.
After this we played the dear old Chefoo games—“The Jolly Miller,” “ Bingo,” “ Two’s and Three’s ” and “ Musical Chairs.”
Having been thoroughly exercised we sat round in a circle and played “ Emergencies,” from which we got startling if not useful information as to how Chefooites would behave under certain conditions. It was very interesting to hear that if Bertie Lutley...”

“...Jack’s (John Francis Arnott) home call on 31st December, 1921, at above address.
For six years he was ill, and during that time was a blessing to all, by his life and patient endurance. Not a murmur was ever known to pass his lips. We praise God for the Chefoo Schools, for it was there he accepted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour, and there he was grounded in the Word, which he made so much use of during the last two years of his life. From all parts of the world we have received letters testifying about the blessing he has been by his life, and we know that “ He being dead yet speaketh.” We give God all the glory.
To the very last he maintained a deep, warm love for Chefoo, and all the boys and girls who ever passed through the schools, and just before he passed away, after he had given me a message for one whose soul’s salvation he was deeply concerned about, he said “ I have a message for the Chefoo boys and girls, but I shall give it to you, mother dear, after 1 have rested.” He was not...”

“...peccadillo.” They delight in deep subjects, and at the last debate discussed “ Whether the continuance of such customs as the Dragon-Boat Festival is consistent with the facts of modern science ? ”
The Chinese lads are good students, but are very independent, and just at present grave problems face all who have responsible positions in Chinese schools. Many of the students come from the Philippines. Their fathers are Amoy men who have gone to the Philippines for business purposes, but send their lads back to the old home for education. Roman Catholic and Spanish influences show themselves in the names of the lads : “ Fortunato, Alfonso,” etc. Schools and colleges abound in Amoy. A very wealthy Chinese gentleman has started a large school—where the fees are nominal— he is a philanthropist, not a Christian. There is also a new Amoy University. Its President, Dr. Lim Boon Reng, is a very able man.
My work has been more of the “ Andrew ” kind, but if Andrew continued as he began, his life would...”
