“...General Secretary and wish him every success as he ministers in and around Norwich. During the past twenty years quite a number of Chefusians whose parents ■ are members of the C.I.M. have received small timely grants from a fund known as the “ Chefoo Fund It is good to learn that this fund is still able to help some of the younger Chefusians who are now studying in this country, and I am sure that the Honorary Treasurer (Mr. G. P. Welch, C.I.M., London) will be glad to hear from any Chefusian who may feel that they would like to help by donating to this fund and thus expressing their gratitude for help that they themselves may have received. You may be interested to know that Mr. W. D. Mudditt and I are members of the Committee who control the Chefoo Fund. There is just one further point, now that the vogue, in G.B. anyway, is to wear blazers and blazer badges, the General Committee wonder if there are any O.C.’s who would like blazer badges. Jf anyone is interested will they please get in...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE The Greater London Crusade Meetings conducted at Harringay with Dr. Billy Graham as the Preacher, night after night for three whole months This was the gist of a talk by MR. P. A. BRUCE, at the Toronto Chefoo Reunion, on September I \ th, 1954 TT\R. GRAHAM came over early in 1953 U to speak with a number of Church leaders from the Evangelical denominations in London at a meeting held in Church House, Westminster. At that meeting Dt. Graham made it clear that, as he saw it, “ an evangelistic campaign should avoid all extremes and not lay itself open to the charges of being dramatic, sensational or emotional, etc.7 He also said, “ There is no such thing as mass-evangelism, men and women are brought to a knowledge of Jesus Christ as Saviour by direct personal talks between man and man and woman and woman ”. He further said that “ The most important part of an evangelistic campaign was the linking of those newly awakened to the things of God, on to live Churches of their own...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE A Visit to the Far East 'T’HE years of the last war were spent, together with a large party of Chefusians, in the hands of the Japanese first in Chefoo and afterwards at Weihsien, and one result of these varied experiences was that some of us were given a real interest in the Japanese people and having to attend roll-call and to number off morning and evening in Japanese gave us a slight interest in the Japanese language. It will not be difficult to understand my feelings when I learnt that my visit to the far east at the end of 1953 was to take me first of all to Japan and then later on to Formosa, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaya, Thailand and Java. S.S. Chusan was given a new coat of white paint in Hongkong as she was to be the first P. & O. passenger ship to enter the harbour at Yokohama since the war ended. Crowds of people lined the quay as we slowly drew alongside and a military band played familiar tunes as we berthed. We were informed that there were twelve V...”

“...home leave just at that time. Down in the island of Mindoro I met Dr. Jim Broomhall and not far from his home was Joy Hayman, who also had a call to work amongst the neglected tribal peoples on that large island. The paths along which we , have walked have seemed to diverge in some ways, but “ Chefoo ’’ is really a magic word which links all those who have had the joy of being linked with the Schools there and all that they stand for. It was a joy to see the small schools where missionaries* children to-day are being cared for—one in Karuizawa, another in Tainan, a third in Tagaytay and a fourth in Bangkok (since moved to Ringlet in North Malaya). I was offered a position in three of these schools, but this task must be left to younger and abler hands than mine. As I think of the past I am reminded of a remark made by a small girl who asked three questions and then drew a profound conclusion to the answers she received— , “ Mother, where were you born ? “ In England, dear”. “ Where was Daddy...”

“...present-day Chefoo was saddening. He was the last foreigner to leave and had stayed only to sell his home, but finding that impossible, had finally left. Although losing so much he remained cheerful and spoke of his trust in and gratitude to God. He mentioned with pleasure his association with different missionaries in wartime concentration camp. He said the Chinese Navy had taken over the old C.I.M. compound and school buildings, or what was left of them. We visited Elia ourselves about two weeks later, at the Church of Scotland school in Alexandria, where he was second to the head-master. Athens. September Qth, 1954. VOU have been kind enough to do me the honour of inviting me to send you an article giving your readers a description of how Chefoo was at the time when I left it on April 18th, 1953, and I will start from the date of its so-called “ second liberation ” by the Communists, which took place on October 16th, 1948. At that time an old resident, Rev. Burnet, had returned to Chefoo and...”

“...and constructed, all under forced labour. There was also talk of the railway being built and it was expected that the line would be open to traffic by the end of 1953. But instead of connecting Chefoo with Weihsien, via Lungkow, the railway was to join the Tsingtao-Weihsien line at some point halfway, via Lia-yang. To conclude, from all present indications there appears to be little, if any hope of any of us ever going back to Chefoo. But God’s will is supreme and His works are wonderful. Although, therefore, the present outlook is so dismal, if it is only His will, the impossible and improbable may easily become a reality in an unexpected way. Frankly, however, I would not care to go back and to have my family there, unless I would be certain that the C.I.M. people, including, of course, the Schools, would go. A. E. PARADISSIS. 9...”

“...a house to ourselves and so could entertain, as well as be entertained by, students, faculty, and staff. Sometimes, on moonlight nights, we were invited to picnics. Some afternoons we rode out on our bicycles to villages, both Hindu and Santal. Evenings, there were occasionally student performances: dancing or theatrical. Once in a while we listened to native instrumental music. Besides this I was inveigled into playing on a borrowed fiddle (an art into which I was initiated by Mr. Murray at Chefoo) in a trio which met every week, and, much more on my own accord, played tennis often from November through March. The months passed all too quickly; warm weather came on apace in March until, about the first of April, the hot winds began to blow, and the out-of-doors became almost unbearable during the middle hours of the day. We left at close of term on April 1 ith. This was not all we saw of India. I had the good fortune to be invited to lecture at a number of places, and this took us as far...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE The Emergency Preparatory School Kaiting, 1941 - 1944 \A7 ITH the increasing dangers and ’ ’ difficulties of crossing from Free China into Japanese-occupied China, it was becoming almost impossible for children to get to Chefoo. In the latter months of 1940 plans were being made to open an Emergency Preparatory School, in West China. It was decided to use the premises of a former C.I.M. School for Chinese Boys in Kiating (Loshan), Szechwan. Miss Ruth Porteous, an old Chefusian, was asked to be Headmistress, with Miss Elizabeth Swanton to assist in the teaching. Books and equipment for ten were sent from Chefoo. “ The war will soon be over so we can get along with a minimum of equipment,” was the attitude happily taken. In the fall of 1941 the school opened with ten children and four on the staff. No history of the Kiating Prep, would be complete without a mention of Mr. Cook’s anti-foreign cow. Many are the stories of hasty exits when the cow exhibited her decided antipathy...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE Chefoo — Hong Kong "1K/TANY in the past have travelled from Chefoo to Hong Kong, some returning to their homelands for furlough and recuperation, some for business purposes, some for holidays from school, and some to face life in a new country, amidst new conditions and surroundings. For many, plans and purposes have been fulfilled, for others the unexpected has happened, and under God’s Hand life has taken an unusual turning. Leaving Chefoo in 1940, I expected to return in 1941, and to continue teaching there, but 1942 found me teaching in an Internment Camp in Hong Kong, and 1950, a member of the' teaching staff of the Diocesan Girls’ School in Hong Kong. Thus from teaching British children in a Chinese city, the way unexpectedly led to teaching Chinese children in a British Colony. The Diocesan Schools in Hong Kong were originally founded in i860 as orphanages and schools for Eurasian children. To-day both schools have outgrown their original conception, the Boys’ Diocesan...”

Auckland, New Zealand Another Reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Funnell, Mt. .Albert, Auckland, oil Saturday, July 17th, 1954, at which there were twenty-three present. We had a very interesting evening. We began with a few competitions arranged by Stan Conway in which he tested our wits and memories to the limit in two Bible quizzes and one Chefoo one ! Following this Mr. Robinson shewed us a most interesting and lovely film on “ Ruling ” and then one on “ Wild Life in a National Reserve in South Africa After this followed a brief business session. Stan Goold and Mary Howie were reelected to their present positions as President and Secretary-Treasurer. Some news of those not present was given. We then had Family Prayers led by our President, who read to us Psalm 46. We also sang the twenty-third psalm to the favourite Ghefoo tune, “ Lord...”

“...College and Monkton Combe schools, not to mention a terrier, a pet hen and two white pigeons. The family had put in no small amount of work in the organization of the unique treasure hunt, and a lucky dip at threepence a dip on behalf of blind children. Among the early arrivals were our faithful editor and secretary, and Miss Pyle who, unfortunately, had to leave early. Two middle-agers tried the tennis court between showers, but by tea time the sun was shining upon us in more permanent fashion in the spacious and well-filled drawing room, where we reminisced and enjoyed a delicious tea. The oldest member present was Dr. Judd, who brought ancient manuscript in the shape of two numbers of the Protestant Collegiate magazine of 1886 and ’87, and some photos. The youngest was James Raath, the infant great great grandnephew of Mr. Hudson Taylor. Of topical* interest was a recent copy of the China Pictorial, brought by David Parry, showing coloured photos of “ Chefoo Prawns ” for export. Much...”

“...SANDY is a works engineer for I.C.I. He is married and has a daughter aged two years. DAVID CLARKE sends two news items: “ (1) Met Mr. Welch and Calvin Cook’s mother and sister in the Lion House of the London Zoo during August. (2) My wife and I took a party of sixteen teenagers for a Holiday House Party to Exmouth in July and had a very enjoyable time. The weather was generally poor but one day it w^s really hot and the swimming with a small raft out about thirty yards almost reminded me of Chefoo ”. ARNOLD CLARKE and his wife (formerly Miss Betty Worth of C.I.M.) are now missionaries in the island of Phuket, West Thailand, trying to get. a grip of the language. Betty gave birth to a baby boy in Penang in April but the Lord took him only a few hours after his birth.

“...GOOD-LAND (nee WELCH) on the birth of a daughter, Hilary Joan, on the 21st of October, 1954. JANET GREENING writes: “It is now over two years since I joined the staff of the Winchester College Sanatorium as one of the nursing sisters. Last year I acquired a beautiful caravan, and have made it my home. To it I resort for the school holidays, and it’s great fun entertaining my friends there. In August I had a small Chefoo Reunion in it. There were four of us—BERTIE McOWAN and her sister MAIMIE who are working in Southampton, and PEGGY BROWN, whose father was at one time British Consul in Chefoo, and who is a physiotherapist in Sevenoaks. My caravan is on a lovely site at Lyndhurst in the New Forest, and I should be delighted to entertain any old Chefusians who care to call on me, and show them over my mansion. The Thatched Cottage Tea Rooms, Lyndhurst, is the address of the caravan site, and I shall be there during school holidays. “ My sister, CONNIE ALLEN, is back in England again. She and her...”

“...between the ages of four and three quarters and seven., I am just as sure it is the right place as I was sure about Renhold last year. Of course, our flat in Bedford is still home and ‘ base ’ for us all. “ STEPHEN now has his degree and goes up for a fourth year at Cambridge in October. This summer he was at Great Word V.P.S. Camp and then at an I.V.F. campaign at Dagenham. “ FELICITY began her third year at Bedford College, London, in October. She had planned to spend two weeks at an Inter-Schools camp but was unable to. She and Josephine had five days at Swanage with Miss LUCIA. “JOSEPHINE passed G.C.E. at Advanced level in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology in July. While at school for another year she hopes to try for Cambridge entrance next spring, D.V. She spent a week at a C.P.A. holiday home for girls, as a helper, and another week in S.

Now it is a University department called “ The Edinburgh University General Practise Teaching Unit ”. The patients are mostly the same as the people they had before the change. Dr. Neve has had a clinical lectureship for the last two years. MILDRED PORTER writes: “ I have been fortunate in getting an invalid chair from the Ministry of Health.

“...will be a very warm welcome at any time (within reason, I presume); they are near the Bakerloo Bushey and Oxhey Station. KEITH STEVENSON, who describes himself as “one of the ancients”, has been Rector of Fyfield, Essex, for ten years, during which time they have done a great deal to restore their ancient church and the rectory. From the village of 600, three coaches went up to Harringay, and Mr. Charlie Riggs went down to a united meeting in Fyfield. There is encouraging work being done in the schools in that area, and they have had their first S.U. Rally recently. DOUGLAS SADLER writes: “ We have now bought a small house in Wolverhampton, not far from our Church. My Mother is looking after the home. MURRAY is still in the Bank, JEAN is working in the Accounts department of a leading store here, AGNES is at the Girls’ High School, and little GRAHAM has just started at St. Edmunds School, Canterbury. I am still in the Accountancy profession. It has been wonderful the way in which the Lord has...”

NORMAN AUSTIN won a Leonard Wells Foundation scholarship to the University of Toronto, and in addition pulled down two bursaries, one offered by the provincial government, and the other by University College. (Note: And well earned. After the occasional patrol of the Reference Library in the line of duty, your secretary was intrigued to see that Chefoo powers of concentration were not a rosy myth of middle age. They apparently carry on to the current generation. The Toronto Reference Library rather scorns, as a little low brow, a little below our intellectual level, the common run of high school student. We feel, and oft-times with all too good reason, that he or more 26...”

“...d it paid off. My colleagues grew a little restive under my boasted, “ See that boy? That’s the way we worked in Chefoo ”. These provincial university scholarships are much too few, and competition is fierce. To win one is a mark of some distinction.) NORMAN intends to take an arts course with possibly the Ministry in view later. News Flashes from Wheaton. Reported by visitor NORMAN AUSTIN: BARBARA JEFFREY is finding the American educational system a little different from the Canadian. LOIS GLAZIER is the Home’s Miss Emily Post guaranteed to settle all etiquette problems.

It chased over to me from Bard College when the folks there were kind enough to pop it in a forwarding envelope. Wittenberg is a Lutheran supported college in Ohio. When the controller retired, they were sufficiently desperate to ask me to come along; so here I’ve been since January. The college atmosphere is like Chefoo in many ways, although I don’t recall dancing at Chefoo. The ‘ college pastor ’ is a missionary’s son from Tsingtao, but misguidedly he went to school at Tengchow. There are probably as many colleges to the square mile in Ohio as in any state in the U.S.A.; one can heave a brick in almost any direction from any place and hit one.
