“...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.

“...received at the China Inland Mission Headquarters from Chungking to the effect that all Chefoo internees were removed to Weihsien on September 7th. Weihsien is about 130 miles West of Chefoo. From another source we have heard that they are all “well and pleased with improved accommodation.” We have no further particulars as yet.

“...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...”
