“...Newsletter No. 31 JULY, 1943. Editorial. Here is yet another war-time news-letter, with yet another budget of war-time news, compounded of joys and sorrows—and of much patient continuance in well-doing. Our thoughts are more than ever with the Schools, in their internment at Temple Hill. We are grateful for news passed on to us by Miss H. M. Bond. For the first time, a consignment of these news-letters (the copies of the last issue, No. 30, sent to North America) has failed to get through. Happily we had some copies in reserve which were promptly dispatched and which (we hope) arrived safely, even if very late, to fill the worst of the gap. As a number of people have written to suggest that the C.S.A. should express in some tangible way its gratitude to Howard Joyce, it ought perhaps to be said here that we haven’t really let Howard out of our clutches yet. We ‘till hope that his resignation may be only a war-time affair ; but, if it does prove to be final, you may be sure that he will...”

“...December 19th, 1942. The Melbourne Chefoo Reunion was held at the C.I.M. Home, Hawthorn, on Saturday evening, 19th December, 1942.

The evening was spent in traditional fashion—playing Consequences, etc., singing the old School Songs and ending up with the evergreen Dumb Charades, at which the usual talented acting was displayed. (What the stage has missed !) After supper the Secretary gave news of Chefusians in other States and offered apologies for a number of members, some in the Forces, unable to be present. Mr. W. J. Embery gave the latest news of the Schools, as received from Shanghai or London...”

“...News of Chefoo. Letters from Mr. Gordon Martin and the Misses Broomhall, Stark, Woodward and Hills have given us close-up pictures of Chefoo, before and after the compulsory evacuation of our premises. Needless to say, the accounts are both jolly and pathetic, but the prevailing note in each is cheerful courage, deep thankfulness, and a ready recognition of God’s goodness in what were and are hard circumstances. Here are some extracts : “ For a long time we expected to leave ; one building after another was being commandeered and ' visitors ’ were always coming. We had to pick our way about the compound over new wires, holes, heaps and among buildings going up apace around us. “Suddenly in the first week of November, sentries, posted at our gates, prevented anyone leaving. The same day, all foreigners outside the compound were ordered to Temple Hill. We thought we should be sent for next day, and most of us kept busily planning and packing, feeling that it would be a question of how much...”

“...Can you imagine me with a little boy across my knee while I mend the seat of his trousers ? . . . The staff have improvised all sorts of nooks and crannies for sleeping, there are rooms in outhouses which were servants’ quarters, and these make better rooms than many get inland.” “ Greatly to our relief we can now get laundry done out. The man comes to the gate, where we hand it to him, as we are not allowed outside the compound, but exercise by strolling round the garden.” “ You who remember Chefoo classrooms, would grieve to see forty boys, and a few girls seated on lockers in a two chien room in the servants’ quarters without blackboard, desk, or convenience for writing,—but the room has been whitewashed. A stove and the south aspect keep it warm, and teaching goes ahead. At present the teaching is admittedly a makeshift affair, at least for the senior school ; we hope we shall do better after Christmas.” ♦ “ News of the outside world leaks through to us and occasionally we get B.B.C...”

“...with them both. MR. E. MURRAY. Dr. Arthur Taylor writes : “ The news of the homecall of Mr. Ebe Murray, on April 2nd, 1943, while not at all unexpected, came as a great shock. For some time he had been in ill-health and for months bore with that patience and fortitude, characteristic of him, the suffering due to his illness. Somehow it was not easy to picture him as unwell, weak and inert. Mr. Murray at Chefoo was always the one who personified health, strength, and resiliency, and with the happiest of dispositions was an ideal school master for the China Inland Mission. The Chefoo Schools owe him more than is realised. He was a “ tower of strength ” on the Staff of the Boys’ School where he taught from 1888 to 1914 and of which he was a kind of Vice-Principal ; and twice, when the Head of those days, Mr. Frank McCarthy, was on furlough, he acted as Principal. He was a splendid disciplinarian, an excellent teacher and a true lover of boys ; indeed his whole life was wrapped up in the welfare...”
