“...Newsletter No. 32 DECEMBER, 1943. Chefoo Schools Association Great Britain Branch. Editorial. As the months of war lengthen out, each successive newsletter shows fresh names added to the variegated list of Chefusians serving on the battle fronts of the world ; fresh names, too, added with proud affection to the number of the dead. (Yet for them we sorrow not, as others who have no hope.) And now the removal of the Schools from Chefoo to Weihsien has begun another unexpected chapter in their war time adventures. What stories there will be—when all comes to be told : of strange predicaments and perils manifold ; of unfailing patience and resource ; of cheerful courage and sturdy faith ; of God’s purpose over-ruling all. More than ever, as the burdens and bereavements and sufferings of war increase (though the end of the long road is in sight)—more than ever do we of the worldwide Chefoo family need to bear one another up in sympathy and prayer : sorrowing together, rejoicing together. Once...”

“...remembering that subscriptions for 1944 (2/6d. each) fall due in January and should be paid either at the Reunion or direct to the Treasurer :—Mr. B. B. Burnett, 59, Lenmore Avenue, Grays, Essex. You will help us a great deal if you send your subscription promptly—to the Treasurer and not to the Secretary or to the Editors. May I mention here, for your consideration, a suggestion which has been made that a fund be opened among Old Chefusians for some special work of repair or reconstruction at Chefoo when the Japanese occupation ceases. Perhaps we can discuss the idea at the Reunion but we should welcome people’s views on the subject. It only remains for me to express the mutual greetings and good wishes of all Chefusians this Christmastide and for the coming year. C.S.A. COLOURS.

“...In Memoriam MRS. H. J. ALTY Chefusians will be sorry to hear of the sudden home-call of Mrs. Alty on August 4th. The funeral service was taken by the Rev. C. L. Pickens of the American Episcopal Mission. Mr. Alty is now making his home with his daughter Margaret, near Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Alty are perhaps known to a greater number of Chefusians than any others who have been on the Staff of the Schools, and we extend to Mr. Alty and Margaret our deepest sympathy. A friend writes : “ In January 1906 the arrival of two trained teachers at the Preparatory School, Chefoo, was an event of no ordinary importance. One of them was Miss Alice M. Russell of Carlisle. “ After her marriage to Mr. H. J. Alty, a senior master of the Boys’ School staff, she continued teaching at the Preparatory School part days until she graduated to the Girls’ School, where she was much valued and appreciated as an excellent, tireless and understanding teacher. “ For some years she received into +ier home one or two...”

“...it can truly be said of him that “ He, being dead, yet speaketh ” ; for, in a Memorial Service, Raymond Joyce told how Mr. Rhodes had been the means of giving him, as a boy in Chefoo, the vision of the need of the Mohammedan world, to which he has since devoted his life. To Mrs. Rhodes and the Rev. J. Bernard Rhodes we extend the sincere sympathy of the Chefusians. MR. E. MURRAY. The Rev. J. Howard Stooke (1887-1894) writes : “ From my heart I endorse all that Mr. Arthur Taylor wrote in the July issue about Mr. Murray, and as one of his earliest pupils I should like to add something. “ It is a long time ago now, but I remember Mr. Murray’s coming to the School in 1888. It was after the tragic death of the Principal, Mr. Norris. Mr. McCarthy had succeeded as Principal and Mr. Murray arrived out of the nowhere to be his colleague. Every boy in the School, and there were not many of us then, soon knew him to be a friend. We could say of him as was said of Henry Drummond, “ he came down to...”
