“...return later in the form of a magazine. The following year it was accordingly arranged by the Committee that the China branch be allowed to print a separate issue of the magazine, and copies exchanged with London. From that date no subscriptions were to be remitted from Shanghai to London ; China and Australia co-operating, and leaving London to collect from Scotland and Canada, both in the way of news and money. An admirable state of affairs for China, with an enormous supply of news direct from Chefoo and a membership roll that was not to be despised—-no one can deny that our Shanghai branch has carried on magnificently....”

“...U S 0 q - ccC ;'£- A V As for the real headquarters of the C.S.A.—viz., London—another tale has to be told. Completely bereft of all direct Chefoo news and all China and Australia subscriptions, we set out in 1923 with a great hope of keeping up three magazines per year. Our first issue gave us great encouragement owing to the splendid articles received from Canada. Since then it has been a terrible struggle —both financial and literary. Owing to the depleted income and the non-payment qf many subscriptions it was found impossible to produce more than two magazines, and as for literary aid, two issues had to be produced without any official contributions whatever from Canada. In addition to this the appeal for literary help fell, to a great extent, on deaf ears in England and Scotland. Many there were willing to read, but very few to write. This sad state of affairs has naturally brought forth criticisms and innumerable suggestions of improvement ** from all sources. We have, at least,...”

“...manner of articles and Chefoo news. An alternative would be for us to decide definitely to produce two magazines only per annum, and two full ones would be far better in every way than three lean ones. The Committee will welcome any correspondence from members, expressing their views on any of the points dealt with above, since it will help them in their discussions at their meeting next month. It is our great desire that the C.S.A. should flourish where it was founded, and we once more appeal for the help of all our members. The Editor apologises for such a lengthy discourse, and hopes that his statements can be followed clearly. • ♦ ♦ • It has been suggested by some of the Canadian members, that writers of articles in the magazine should not only sign name or initials at bottom of same, but also signify the year in which they left Chefoo. For example, if writer left Chefoo in the year 1923, he should sign himself or herself 2 C 3. The letter C standing for Chefoo. This method is used in...”

“...® 6 o o : rHfTcc -j, .t CHEFOO REUNION, LONDON, JANUARY 3»d, 1925. HEFOO REUNION ! What visions it conjures up ! Old faces and friends seem to crowd themselves upon one’s memory, and the glare and glamour of the London streets scarce suffice to dispel the illusion that we are not in Shanghai, or else in Tientsin waiting for the steamer to take us back to the School we love so well. The friendly “ General ” seems to chuckle as it stops outside the China Inland Missionary Home, to think that some rash spirits are going to try to bridge several long years in the space of a few short hours. As usual the friends at the Home have loaned us their Hall for the occasion of our Winter Reunion, and all Chefuscians must be thankful for the kindly welcome which helps to strengthen the impression of former days. After paying for our teas, we were informed by the Editor that a new number of the magazine was shortly forthcoming. Whether the profit on the tea helped to pay for the new number, or whether...”

“...f&C Twenty-third Psalm was sung, and a message of good cheer was given, peculiarly suited to at least one of the Chefuscians present. To one who has left Chefoo for some time, the very sight of our beloved Head taking prayers, as in the days of yore, was enough to make one resolve to strive to live worthily of those who had made Chefoo so famous in the past. Howard Joyce suitably expressed our thanks to all the kind friends who had helped to make the evening so enjoyable. With thanks in our souls to God for all that Chefoo has meant to us, and with joy in our hearts at the pleasure of another reunion, we separated to our homes. K. C. S.

Intending to live here for several years, there will be ample time for the American people to raise themselves in my respect, and who knows but that one day, far away in the future ages, I may even learn to read and write this American language, and then perhaps I will be better able to make them understand what a marvel of intellectual, physical, and spiritual development they have among them in the person of Reuben Torry Fiddler, late of Chefoo, China.

Started by Mrs. Callis (nee Rhoda Grainger) and ably conducted by Mr. Howard Joyce we reached a high standard ; “ Gaily Sings the Donkey,” which we delivered with pathetic diminuendos and rousing crescendos being, I think, the masterpiece 1 Time was passing all too quickly, so we had only time for a few rounds of “ Clumps,” and then Mr. McCarthy was asked to take “ Prayers.” It was such a privilege to have him and Mrs. McCarthy with us for the evening, and to hear a short, strong, sympathetic word from “ The Head.” We specially felt his sympathy and “ understanding ” when he appealed for our sympathy to be shown towards any of our school-fellows who had found the odds against them overwhelming. Then followed the “Chefoo Psalm ” and Benediction, and the happy party began to break up, but some, who had not long distances to go, could not resist...”

The total differed each time. “ Ze boy ” sat at the opposite end of the table, and quietly glanced over the column of figures. Paudauveschki had arrived at still another total, and scratched his head in dismay. “ Ze boy ” quietly announced a sum. “ How do you know ? Dat is de same as I have just got. Oh, ze wonderful boy, he has added upside down ! ” No wonder, since he came from Chefoo. R. M. J. CROSSWORDS. In 1918, an epidemic, commonly called “Spanish ’flu,” swept over Europe.

“...-rrr-'lkW ! KI < | THE CHARGE OF A CHEFOO BRIGADE. By Alfred T. Anys’son, This poem was written to enable the world ever to remember a famous charge which was repeated so vigorously every twenty-four hours by a small contingent of men who found themselves overwhelmed by a very strong force of Darkness in the little village of Chefoo ; a quiet spot on the borders of the sea in the land of Sinom. The immortal hundred have their names engraved on many of the desks at the village school. I. Half an hour, half an hour, Half an hour longer 1 All in the big school-room Worked the One Hundred. “ Forward the Second Form, Quietly this way,” he said. Unto the Land of Sleep Went some of the Hundred. II. “ On with your work again,” Was there a boy obeyed ? Yes? some had work to do Ere came the morrow. Slowly the clock did tick ; Sowly the moments went ; But, with their minds all bent Unto the land of Sleep, Worked the One Hundred. III.
