“...follow suit. At this juncture I would like to welcome all prospective and new members to the Association, and hope that they will benefit from the fellowship obtained in it. 3. C.S.A. General Committee The Chairman, Treasurer, and General Secretary have tendered their resignations to take effect as from 1st January, 1952. The Chairman has served in one capacity or another on the General Committee since its inception 43 years ago, the Treasurer for 30 years and the General Secretary for 13 years, and they consider it is time that other members, preferably from the younger generation, should take over the reins of the Association. Efforts to persuade certain O.Cs. to undertake these posts had so far proved quite fruitless. The Committee, therefore, decided to inform all members that unless suitable offers of assistance were received by the end of this year, the consequences for the future of the Association would be extremely serious, and important decisions on this matter would, inevitably, have...”

A smaller loss on Reunions has helped to increase the surplus this year, and it should be possible to maintain the annual sub at 5/- in spite of any increase in magazine charges.

“...S.A. MAGAZINE A History of the China Inland Mission School at Chefoo, China By DR. F. * Chapter VI rT’HE year 1927, often spoken of as ■*“ “ Evacuation Year ”, was a notable one. During the year .Communistic Nationalism was very active in Shantung. The Chinese in Ghefoo were evidently excited and troops passed to and fro. Evacuation from the interior was ordered by the consuls, and Chefoo was a refuge for many missionaries. American and British warships were again on the spot in case they were needed, and arrangements were made in case it was necessary to leave. The Boys’ School and two other places were appointed by our consuls as places which could be defended should any attack be made. Days and months went by without any local serious disturbances. Apart from a considerable amount of curtailment in the matter of walks, etc. owing to the presence of so many Chinese soldiers in Chefoo, life on the Compound and in the schools went on as before—another instance of the Lord’s care and protection...”

“...steamer in mid-ocean to do so. For this he received the Honorary Testimonial on vellum awarded by the Royal Humane Society, and presented to him at Chefoo by Consul Pratt and Commander Lockhart. Being a missionary school it was natural that a missionary interest should be encouraged ; and this year Mr. McCarthy revived a Missionary Band among the boys, which had lapsed. The first sum of money contributed by it was sent to the Mission to Lepers. In memory of two Old Boys, Paul J. Riley and Alfred S. Andrew, who lost their lives in the first World War, a pair of beautiful iron gates were presented by the Andrew and Moore families. These were erected at the entrance to the boys’ playing field and dedicated pn August 22nd. Dr. A. Hogg, after twenty-five years of much appreciated service as Medical Officer to the schools and community, retired from Chefoo this spring. His work was . carried on temporarily by Drs. Johnston, Hillier and Golden, till Dr. J. R. Dickson, who had been in China a number...”

“...arid girls were arranged, as well as a Rally and several meetings for the younger ones. The former were held at No. 2, Woodland Road, with Dr. and Mrs. Landsborough from Formosa acting as House father and mother. These were a thorough success but not repeated in later years. Diverging’ for a moment from Chefoo it should be recorded that in England a new Constitution of the Chefoo Schools Association' was drawn up. This was to link up with the members in other countries, and to make the Association a world-wide organisation. Its magazine, Chefoo, was also issued in a new and improved format. This year was particularly appropriate for the reform, it being the 21st birthday of the Association, which was founded on January 29th, 1908. At the January Reunion in London the event was celebrated in a special way ; the number 21 being introduced both into the meal and various games ; and Mrs. Hayward kindly prepared a huge cake with 21 candles. These (events, not the candles !) evidently gave fresh...”

“...Mr. and Mrs. Olesen kindly let them have the use of their back premises for a kitchen during the building operations. For these and many other amenities the schools were indebted to the labours of Messrs. Robertson and Olesen. In addition to what has been already said, further mention must be made of the Christian activities in the Schools. In the Boys’ School, Band meetings were held every Wednesday in the Library, to which over 75% of the boys came. Attendance was quite voluntary, and the speakers were chosen by the senior lads. On Thursday after evening Prep, some' of the seniors gathered for a short Prayer meeting conducted by themselves. It had been suggested by Mr. Houghton about 1928. The masters also conducted several Bible classes on Sunday afternoon in Form rooms or their own houses. Members of the White Cross Association gathered once a term in Mr. Bruce’s sitting-room, and found the meetings of inestimable benefit. The Missionary Band sent contributions to various objects ;...”

“...spiritual discipline in itself. But under Nikky’s guidance and help, the leaders have learned to trust God to work through their lives, and have seen His New Life at work in their campers. You can well imagine the influence that “ Chefoo ” has had on Pioneer ! Not only Cathie, but almost every Chefooite within travelling distance has been an ardent Pioneer Camper, Leader, Nurse, Doctor, kitchen help, water-front director, as well as Sectional Camp Directors. The same quiet character-training forces are at work, and more noticeably, the same favourite Chefoo hymns have crept into the tradition of the camp. In the measure that Cathie and other Chefooites working with her have invested their time and energy for Christ at camp, and have shared the heritage of Chefoo, the reward has been abundantly satisfying in lives won to Him.

“...fees accompanied by news, if you like, to William Tyler, who will see that the latter gets to its destination, but regardless of where you send it, be sure you do send the news. Thus Bill will be able to concentrate on a membership drive in the latest approved Time-Life-Fortune-Chefoo-Henry Luce advertising manner, and the news and articles secretary will strive for bigger and better efforts in, we hope, an equally spirited drive in another direction. The present secretary’s father has been heard to mutter that he hopes all Bill’s family are in good physical and mental shape, since it is the secretary’s secretary (is it not ?), who suffers. Bill will be only the directing brain. Finally, someone has suggested a Chefoo “ Who’s Who ”. With no membership to worry over, I should rather like to tackle this, and by the next number may have some plans for its execution—in the correct Toronto Reference Library “ Who’s Who ” style, with a co-author I hope, though he does not know it yet, in Joe Dualap...”

“...ALBERT ROUSE TT does not seem long since patients with headaches, chilblains, colds and a hundred other complaints waited outside the dispensary for Miss Dobson’s treatment, cure, or banishment to the sick-room with patient understanding. Miss Dobson -came to China in 1928, and was designated to Honan. Two years later she came to Chefoo for dental treatment and eventually stayed as Matron at the Girls’ School for nearly 15 years. This service she ably performed, in the Lord’s Name, and her life was- a truly lovely one. With the Schools she went into internment, and it was while there that she married Mr. Albert Rouse, one^who was so well known and loved around Chefoo for many years. ? About five years ago they came to Australia to see Mrs. Rouse’s sister, and then went on to New Zealand to visit her parents. They then went to England and settled in Bristol where Mr. Rouse has a secretarial position at the Mullers’ Homes. Christine Heather was born in 1947, and became a treasure to her Mother...”

“...MRS. GALVIN WIGHT A/TRS. WIGHT, known tp many Chefu-.sians as “ Grandma Wight ” passed on in Addington Hospital on ist Jan. after a short illness. Our sympathies go to Capt. and Mrs. Cook and family. Mrs. Wight Once served on the Chefoo Staff prior to marrying Rev. Wight of the American Presbyterian Mission. After faithful service in Tengchowfu she spent her retirement on San Lane, where her home was -always*-/open, to CficHusians. Since repatriation from Tjemple Hill Gamp, Mrs. Wight lived in Dtfrban where she endeared herself to Christians of all denominations and faithfully supported many worthy causes. She was a friend to Indian, Zulu, Jew, Afrikaner and English alike. Her life was to the end one of love and selflessness, and we thank God for every remembrance of her. N.H.C.

“...showed us a film taken in Chefoo on Foundation Day, 1936. John Cameron was the only Chefusian present who recognised himself, but many of the boys and girls were recognised by some of those present who were at Chefoo in 1936. Later in the evening we had a singsong using some Chefoo songsheets I came across in a bundle of papers passed on from the last Secretary. The following were present : David Bentley-Taylor, Jean Taylor, Catherine Fraser, Joan and James Young, John Cameron, Marjorie Anderson and two daughters, Frances Henderson (ni& Cecil-Smith), Jenny Somerville (nte Liddell), Isabel Aitken (nie Harris), Margaret Clayton, Marion Weller (nde Young), Margaret Young, Gilbert and David Dunachie, Mrs. John Hayes, Terry Wright, Mrs. Howard Wright and I Howard Wright. .r I.H.W.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE Elections were held after dinner. Richard Phillips was elected president ; Lawrence Olsen, vice-president ; Jack Fitzwilliam, social chairman; David Thojnas, Treasurer ; and Athene Cook, secretary. The speaker was then introduced, Rev. Dr/‘Arthur Taylor, with all his titles, Ph.D.A. D.D., O.B.E., etc. . . . Dr. Taylor gave a short amusing account of the history of the Chefoo Schools, not forgetting to take a few pokes at Mrs. Taylor and Kathryn Kuhn. To add variety, coloured slides on Kuling were shown as Joan Thompson gave a running commentary. Among the slides were many beautiful shots of near-by water falls and valley scenes. Dr. Taylor closed the enjoyable evening with a short but pertinent devotional talk. Don’t you wish you had been there ? !

“...Gardiner and Faith Ledgard manned the boats. Melbourne. 7th April. As is our custom we gathered at the C.I.M. Home prepared to enjoy the company of as many as were able to be present. We were glad to welcome to our number, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Brailey, who had recently arrived here from Ruling having been on the staff there. There were 6 scholars from the Chefoo School at Ruling who were with us for the first time and we were delighted that they regarded it as their night, as indeed it was. The whole evening was a brisk one as Henry Lack took us from one game to the nfext in quick succession—musical arms, a charade made most interesting by the use of Chefoo School clothes, some being most ancient, Rim’s game, etc. Great were the activities as sports were conducted, the competitors scoring points for Carey, Livingstone and Paton Houses ! 1 ! The Long Run especially could be described as a howling success for the whole place seemed to be in an uproar. The winning House, Livingstone, was presented.- with...”

“...most heavenly spots on earth. It was fitting that an Old Chefusian, GORDON CONWAY, who had been the Compound Manager all the Ruling days of the Chefoo School, should be, with Miss Ruth Young, the Housekeeper, the last to step out of the School premises after every door inside as well as all the entrances to the buildings had been well and truly locked and or bolted. After the heavy rain of the early morning it was clearing and the mists were lifting over “ Land’s End ” as we started down the hill. What a walk that was, with early Spring beauty all about us at the top, further down the azaleas, the lavender shades full out, and the pink and red shades in full bud just ready to burst, and finally at Lien Hwa tung (the foot of the hill) all the trees out in full leaf. As we walked we sang hymns and choruses (it was Sunday morning !) reminiscent of Chefoo and Ruling. The rest of the journey to Hongkong did not hold the same delights—but it was easy compared with that endured by others—and for us...”

She went ashore on 13 different islands, and bathed wherever possible—best bathing since Chefoo Days ! While at Colon she went to Cratun Lock and watched several boats pass into the Panama Canal.

PARRY {nee EASTON) with them to visit the newly installed Vicar of Underriver, near Seven-oaks, Rev. W. R. O. TAYLOR. On the way they looked in at the PREEDYS at Redhill, and on the way back called on the BATSTQNES, so it was quite a Chefoo day.
