“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE A History of the China Inland Mission School at Chefoo, China By DR. F. H. JUDD Chapter X THE last chapter, in the December, 1952, number, brought the Schools out of their compound. Now we record their experiences while interned in the American Presbyterian houses on Temple Hill, Chefoo, and later in the premises of the same mission in Weihsien about 170 miles to the west. For this we are indebted to Rev. G. Scott’s book “ In Whose hands ?” from which we now quote. The triumphant exit from the School buildings strengthened more than one member of the staff for the final farewell. One lingered by the Prayer-room; on the foundation-stone she read again the simple inscription: “To the Glory of God”. Was it to the glory of God that all this should be handed over to the enemy ? The science laboratory, the craft-room, the art-room—each the dream of years— must all be left behind ? The contents of the book-room and many of the books in the reference library had already been sold...”

“...made available to the Mission by the Medical Missionary Association. It is a large house, accommodating between twenty and thirty children, as well as staff, and was unfurnished. But during the afternoon, sitting on comfortable chairs and settees, admiring the shaded lights, the pictures, the ornaments, the carpets and general furnishings, we heard how God had provided it all. A legacy of furniture from South Wales was something of an unknown quantity, but when the moving-van disgorged its contents the same day on which Mr. and Mrs. Gaussen moved in to take possession, there was so much that was ‘ over-and-above ’ what they had hoped for, including a radio and radiogram, a piano and tasteful pictures and ornaments. These were augmented by the furniture from the former Nursing Home in Highbury. On the walls of the sitting room there were also links with the past: a favourite picture from Ruling, and framed verses in praise of the schools beside the sea and on the green hills of Kiangsi. It...”

“...East in knowing that their children were so well provided for in such a home. L. & K. LYALL. ATY dear C.S.A. friends, -L’-L I want to thank all of you for so kindly contributing to the very generous cheque for nearly£32, which was presented to me at the last Chefoo Winter Reunion, and I know of no better medium than the magazine. It was more than a surprise as I never expected such a thing, and it was kept exceedingly dark (at least from me) until the actual moment of presentation. I have decided to use it towards the purchase of a refrigerator which will be a great boon to Mrs. Mudditt and the household in general as well as being a constant reminder of you all. I need hardly repeat that my years of service in and for the Association which we all love have brought me pleasure, and if I have been able to help in any way in building it up I am amply repaid. I pray that it will continue in the principles on which it was founded, and go on from strength to strength, although “ Ghefoo ” and “...”

“...badges, they brought the spirit of our age - into this ancient ceremony. Suddenly, I was carried back through sixteen years and across eight thousand miles. There, on the Boys’ School Playing Field, stood the Royal Marine band and contingent from H.M.S. Danae. In that sun-drenched scene, as the flag burst open at the mast head, a cloud of white bianco almost obscured the Marines, as, with a smack, they presented arms. What pride they evoked in us as they marched through Chefoo streets with all the rag, tag and bobtail of Chefoo running behind them ! Back to London: a rain-drenched road, white gloves and helmets sodden and not very sparkling, uniforms clinging to the men: but the same immaculate, measured tread that spoke of service in far countries and over wide seas; that spoke of Empire and Commonwealth. Cheer after cheer rose for unit after unit. The womens’ forces, the almost mythical Mounties, the colourful regiments of India and Pakistan, the tough little Gurkhas, soldiers, airmen, b...”

“...moved into that greatest of the world’s processional ways, the Mall. The lightest of rains refreshed us as we wandered into space, into a many-coloured milky way of unsurpassed beauty, beneath the four brilliant constellations of the triumphal arches. High above, balloons, like ephemeral moons, sailed off into the outer spaces of the night. As we moved through this timeless, limitless scene, I was transported once more across the years, across the world, to the Coronation of King George VI, to Chefoo. There in the wide bay, all the ships, headed by H.M.S. Danae, were dressed overall in lights. There in the China sky flashed the same fireworks. There, too, the searchlights probed the darkness to pick out the familiar landmarks, the Bluff, Lighthouse Island, Consulate Hill. And in the magic of that moment even Bottle Rock was caught and become an enchanted spot, a last lone outpost of the world that celebrated the crowning of an English King. Now we were in front of the floodlit palace. A few...”

“...fraternal and kindly interest go to greater lengths, especially in the treatment of capitalist vermin who really (you know) have no right at all to exist ? Cbefoo in Japan THERE have been links between Chefoo and Japan for many years. Agnes Nicole, Denise Milne, Marjorie and Sylvia Black, the Kenderdines, and perhaps others, brought stories of this land of cherry blossoms and snow-covered Fuji, with them when they came across to school. It certainly never entered the thoughts of the most imaginative that some day there would be a miniature, very miniature, Chefoo right in the centre of Japan. Soon after the Overseas Missionary Fellowship of the China Inland Mission (still just C.I.M. to most of its friends) opened work in the new fields in South East Asia, it was decided to have small schools for children up to the age of ten. I was asked to come to Japan for the purpose of teaching those here in Karuiz-awa. For the first few months there was one pupil, Gwen Searle, but now our numbers have...”

“...and Mr. Street. Mr. Kennedy showed us his film again, and we joined in the singing of Chefoo songs. The songs with which you were familiar were one indication of a person’s vintage ! There are other Chefusians in Japan besides those mentioned above. Dr. Gwen Wedderburn is practising in Tokio, and John Quimby is there too, with Midmissions. Lois Glass is in Fukuoka, in Kyushu, the south of Japan, teaching in a school run by the Southern Baptists. In the last Chefoo Mag., which arrived just yesterday, I see that David Pearson is in business in Tokio too. Perhaps there are others we haven’t heard of. Then the arrival of two more among our number up here occasioned another reunion a couple of weeks ago. Mary Weller and Stephen Metcalf are both here in Karuizawa slogging away at the language. This time we located a restaurant run by a Chinese man from Shantung. What more could you ask for as a place for a Chefoo reunion ? And what more could you ask for in the way of menu than a bowl of soup and...”

“...Clarence down to the Chefoo School and was the Lord. Undoubtedly the experiences in the internment camp at Weishien made big demands on her physical strength and since the death of Mr. Faers in 1951 there has been a steady physical decline. At midday on Monday, January 5th, aged 83, while on holiday at Winchester she heard the voice saying, “ The Master is come and calleth for thee,” and alone in the quietness of her room the spirit of Lucy Faers went in to see the Lord she had loved and served in China and in England these many years. G.P.W. , AUSTIN A breakdown in health combined with home claims cut short Miss Jones’ tenure of office as Mistress of the Robes, but her work lives on. “ Did you ever meet a Mrs. Austin at the Abergele Prayer Conference ? ” a friend of the C.I.M. was asked. “ Oh, yes, we used to have long talks. She taught my daughter-in-law to sew, you know.” As Prayer Companions to Miss Marjory Broomhall, Mr. and Mrs. Austin were linked with the Chefoo school right to its...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE REUNION REPORTS London, 3rd January, 1953 To a visitor from the other hemisphere, a Chefoo Reunion in London is quite an event. It was a chilly winter’s day when I found my way to a Chinese restaurant in Piccadilly. As always seems to happen to a stranger, the wrong end of the street presented itself first, and all the numbers appeared to play hide and seek. However, when located, the aroma of Chinese cooking, coupled with the interest of looking for contemporaries unseen for years, over compensated for the previous hunt. After tucking into an excellent meal, all who could went on to Newington Green. The Hall had been decorated with pictures —art and souvenirs—of Chefoo and Ruling. As more and more people arrived the buzz of chatter increased. At the right moment David Clarke took us in hand and encouraged all to join in various games. Also John Sturt introduced one from New Zealand, apparently to support the popular, if not always correct, theory that women talk more than...”

An enjoyable evening of games and competitions was spent, organized by David Michell and Val Nicholls. Mr. Willas Middleton entertained everybody with his reminiscences of Boys’ School days. At the close Harold Eaton led short devotions and we sang “ The Lord is My Shepherd ” and “ Lord of All Power and Might ”. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Harold Eaton, Mr. and Mrs. W. Blyth (n4e Evelyn Binks), Mrs. Binks, Mr. and Mrs. Longden...”

“...leaves her with one at home and three at school. REV. R. V. BAZIRE is now Rural Dean of Battersea. AILSA CARR may still be found at the old address and this is more wonderful than it sounds, as the house has been slipping and has had to be underpinned to a great depth all round. MRS. CARR was ill during the winter, but has recovered, and now she and Ailsa and the house are again ready to welcome visitors. DAVID CLARKE will be married on July 11 th and at the service is having Psalm 23 sung to the Chefoo tune. After a continental honeymoon they will live in a flat at the present address. He had lunch with HENRY LACK who had just arrived from Australia, and JOHN HIRST, when the talk was all architectural shop.

“...for her nursing finals in October. JOAN is in her fifth year medicine. NORTH AMERICA SAM ARENDT writes: “ There is nothing new in our family, except that my brother JOHN is getting married to Miss Ethalwyn Hughes. Should we succeed in having a Montreal Chefoo reunion, I will send an account ”. Apparently they didn’t. A mixed bag of BELL news. GEORGE BELL is assistant minister to Rev. G. W. Brown at Runnymede Baptist Church in Toronto, while pursuing his studies at the Central Baptist Seminary, of which Dr. Brown is Dean. He is engaged to Miss Gwen Taylor, also at the Seminary. RUTH graduates this spring from O.C.E., the Ontario high school teachers’ training college. JACK is teaching at Western Technical School, Toronto. A wedding of Chefoo interest was that of CHRIS COSTERUS to Miss Grace Worling, at Forward Baptist Church in Toronto, on May 16th. The ceremony was performed by BERNARD RHODES, who also, in a quietly witty speech proposed the toast to the bride, but somehow a good deal about...”

“...talking to JIM FIDDLER in Los Angeles last summer. In London, England, MR. CHALKLEY, CHRIS FAIRCLOUGH and I had a happy Chinese feed together just off Piccadilly. WALLACE GOFORTH tells not about himself, but about another distinguished Chefusian. (More will be heard on this subject from the same source in the next number. Now Wallace, does that tie you down ?) “ It is hoped that the next issue will give due note to the appointment of KENNETH W. TAYLOR, head prefect and top honours student at Chefoo, 1915. (He seems to have developed the habit early.) He is now Deputy Minister of Finance in the Dominion government— in other words, the gent who decides what income tax we shall pay, and to whom it is now almost a pleasure to pay it. This is the crowning achievement of a devoted and brilliant career in academic, business and public life. Having known KENNETH since boyhood, and also having had to work with government officials in several capitals, I have found none who has so consistently and...”

She expects to leave for California soon to rejoin her husband who has been with the navy in Korea since August. Mother and I had a pleasant visit with CALVIN COOK and his wife Patricia in Princeton several weeks ago ”. BOLLING REYNOLDS writes: “ I was at Chefoo from 1905-1909 or thereabouts. I taught school in Korea from 1916-1929. Since 1931 I’ve been teaching mathematics at the City College of New York. There are three Chefoo men here, HUGH FITCH, JOE DUNLAP and myself. CARRINGTON GOODRICH has sent me copies of the magazine from time to time, and I have greatly enjoyed them ”. (Now he’s getting one himself.)

JOHN TAYLOR, Chefoo 1939-45, also, is in his junior year of college, in a pre-medical course. My brother, HERBERT, is with the Prudential Life Insurance Company, and has been moved from New York to Toronto.” Extract from the New York Times, November 14th, 1952: “MRS. HARRIET GRACE CORBETT WELLS, for forty-five years a Presbyterian missionary in China, died on Wednesday at her home in Caremont, Cal. Her age was 73. She was the wife of Rev. Dr. Ralph C. Wells, who became chairman of the China Christian Council. Born in Chefoo, Shantung, the daughter of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Corbett, pioneer missionaries in China, she was a graduate of the China Inland Mission School in Chefoo, and Wooster College, Ohio, in 1902.

“...his architectural course at the Melbourne University, having gained a Commonwealth scholarship. His sisters GWYNETH and MARJORIE are living at the C.I.M. schools hostel in Melbourne. Three of PERCY MOORE’S children are also at the hostel. The hostel was officially opened in January, and among the crowd who were at the dedication service were quite a number of Chefooites and Kuling-ites. It seems strange to think that the two families living at the hostel are children of Chefooites. HELEN AMOS now has her midwifery certificate and she is at present nursing in the country. She intends saving up for a trip to England. WINIFRED HUMPHRIES (LACK) flew over to spend five weeks in the Eastern States—two weeks in Sydney and nearly three weeks in fyfelbourne.
