“...another year or two. I should also like to point out that at the Annual General Meeting held in London at the Winter Reunion the need for increasing the branch income was stressed, and that the decision of the meeting was that subscriptions should remain the same, but members were asked to give a little extra as they were able. The cash position continues to be favourable, due mainly to Great Britain Branch Life Subs, and subscriptions paid in advance. D. F. PARRY (Hon. Treasurer).

“...April 1951 Chefoo was in Kuling: three-and-a-half years when Gocl blessed the school greatly. Three things marked those years, the delights of Kuling, the coming of Communist rule, and the leadership and death of Stanley Houghton. While we were in Shanghai, the school’s name was changed. We had been officially the “ China Inland Mission School”; often and excusably we were called the C.I.M. Schools, for we had occupied many places and been subdivided between Chefoo and Tonghsin, Chefoo and Kuling, Chefoo and Kiating, Weihsien and Kalimpong. But officially we were one school with different departments, and a school with a persistent character and a consistent educational aim, to prepare boys and girls by means of diligent study, active games and personal Christianity to live as Christians in their home countries. This Christian, hard-working and hard-playing education was typified in the minds of very many in the Far East by the name of “ Chefoo and as we were uprooted from Chefoo in Shantung...”

“...106. During a December cheered by the wedding of Ewan Lumsden and Priscilla Fish, we were under the strain of uncertainty, until just before Christmas our orders came to close the school and make ready for departure from China. Then came four months of negotiating, of progress and setbacks; but so often we saw God’s hand controlling that they were useful months, as we experienced the menaces and deceits of a regime buttressed by fear and fraud. In three detachments we were permitted to go; so Chefoo in Ruling ended. S. G. Martin. 4...”

“...analysis this is my own individual problem, and the final outcome will depend upon how I react myself. The battle is on to the finish. It’s up to me ! “ How to face the conflict. Now that I fully realize my own individual responsibility, how am I going to react to this greatest trial of my life ? From now on I ETHEL WOULDS T7 THEL WOULDS (nee Squire) attended the Chefoo Schools from 1905 to 1915. My memory of her is of a girl with many devoted friends, for she had a very kind, generous and gentle disposition, and a fund of humour. The years have brought much sorrow into her life, and suffering, bravely borne. GRACE T OOKING back to Chefoo days, I remember Grace Hogg as a delicate-looking, gentle and very dainty girl, who MURRAY friendship. Her interest in those she taught never waned, and some of us have a, record of over forty years of correspondence with her. Our sympathy goes out to Duncan and his family. E.M.B. 1895-1903 let go all fear, all worry, and in absolute faith and confidence let...”

“...life work. In this country she lived for some years in South Croydon, but on the death of her MARGARET CAMERON AT ARGARET CAMERON, the daughter -L*-*- of honoured members of the C.I.M., was educated in Chefoo, and after a period of business life there, she joined the Mission in 1920. Following on her six months in Yangchow Language School, she went into the Treasurer’s Department in Shanghai, where she was greatly valued and appreciated for her faithful and conscientious service. She had a serious fall after her release from internment camp, which caused an injury to her knee from which she suffered to the end. After helping for a year in DR. FRED JUDD TAR. JUDD was, perhaps, the best known -^of all Chefusians. He and his brothers were the first pupils in the Chefoo School, and his association with the school throughout his long missionary career brought him into close touch with many later generations of Chefusians. After qualifying in England Dr. Judd returned, sixty years ago, to work in...”

Be that as it may, one thing I do know; the work of Li Ping proved beneficial to the people of the plain for more than twenty centuries. Of him, Job might have been speaking, in words memorable in the poetic resonance of the King James version: “ He cutteth out rivers among the rocks, He bindeth the waters from overflowing, (and) hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters Edith (Hutson) Thirkell.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE Chefoo School Brinchang Cameron Highlands, Malaya Extracts from a letter dated February 3rd, 1956, from HENRY and MARY GUINNESS “ A/f ARY and I feel very remote from the madding crowd in a large, empty house 5,000 feet up in the Cameron Highlands. To-morrow, however, our teachers will be bringing back eight children from Thailanyl and four from North Malaya, -and the day after seven more will come under escort from Kuala Lumpur and .Singapore. The old school van will twice ibe required to make the 100 mile round trip to the railhead, negotiating the 500 bends and returning with a lively load ! Great excitement usually prevails as we near the end of our journey and familiar landmarks come into view. A fleeting glimpse of the school is caught from two miles away and then it is lost to view until we come round the final bend and drive in through the imposing ornamental gateway. It will take the week-end to settle ■down, and then school proper will begin ■on Monday morning,...”

“...suspicions, accusations and injustices of Communism in the raw. We had false accusations arrayed against us; our money was frozen by police order; we knew every bump on the bottom of the flour barrel, we were down there so often; suspense and tension mixed ill with our daily starvation allowance; and this represented life behind the Bamboo Curtain. Such treatment and the frustration could have been good excuses for despair. To a bare-kneed ragamuffin in the lower forms of the Boys’ School at Chefoo, In Deo Fidemus was just a motto that sounded well, and looked classy on the school badge. But to a man with his small family left alone behind the Bamboo Curtain, it ceased to be a Latin motto and became a sheet anchor and tower of strength—In God we Trust. Closer to us and more real than any Bamboo Curtain was another curtain. In the Psalms we read: “ He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shall thou trust. . . .” We were fenced about by the feathers of God, a Feather Curtain...”

“...know that then. Those years behind the Feather Curtain were for us the most wonderful experience of our lives. That does not mean that we sat there with bland smiles on our faces for all that time. Far from it. We were human, and our first reaction to new developments was generally very human. Fears crowded in as sickness, hunger, cold, accusations, took turns in visiting us. I was daily out in the autumn with my bag and broom, sweeping up the leaves and grass, just as the little boys used to at Chefoo, in order to have more money available for food. We used wood, coal-dust, leaves, sheep manure and coal dust mixed—anything we could find. The funny part of it was that all this time we were supposed to be house confined. Then, two years to the day from the day God gave us His promise to rest on, my wife and our little three-and-a-half-year-old started from Sining on their way to the coast, under the able escort of Clarence Preedy. For their information and comfort they were told that they were...”

In spring we picked their lilacs, Exuberantly gay; Their snowy slopes in winter Were ours for play. From the base up to the pinnacle Of each and every hill, In all the changing seasons, We roamed at will.

“...supper, the Annual General Business Meeting was held. Messages were read from some who could not be present, and Mr. Howard Joyce spoke of the several Old Chefusians who had died since the last reunion. The question of how to meet increasing costs was discussed, and it was decided to leave the subscription as it was for the time being, but to ask any who felt able to increase their subscription. The Rev. G. A. Scott kindly showed us the G.I.M. film, “ Spiritual Gardens ”— seed sown in the lives of Chefoo children, in different surroundings, springing up, into eternal life. After the singing of the twenty-third Psalm Mr. David Bentley-Taylor directed our thoughts to Mark 1. 37, “ All men seek for Thee ”. Thus ended a most enjoyable time; our thanks to all who made it possible, and above all to God, our Heavenly Father. I.K. Those present: Chinese Chow Dora Baker, Rosemary Baker, Jessie Bentley-Taylor (nee Moore), Michael and Arthur, Olive Botham, Hilda Briscoe, Jean Bruce, Lily Copp, Mr. and Mrs...”

“...headquarters in Singapore as contrasted with what we remember of the two (at least) Shanghai compounds. And in place of the compact, monolithic Chefoo, hoary with tradition and with its real place long carved out in the Far East, and for that matter in the world, there are now the three small and flexible elementary schools in the Cameron Highlands of Malaya, Tagaytay in the Philippines, and Karuizawa in Japan. But tradition does not depend on stone and mortar, and in their new and different ways they are still Chefoo. Margaret Bunting spoke for a few minutes about her stop over at the Canadian Three Hills hostel, en route to Victoria last summer. Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham, in charge at Three Hills, valued that same Chefoo tradition and tried to foster it, but seriously felt the lack there of good books, both classics and current, to foster the old Chefoo reading-habit, so it was moved and seconded at this reunion that the C.S.A. in Toronto and, if possible elsewhere, do something to remedy this...”

“...KAY PAILING still works in London and seems to find plenty to do. JEANNIE (HILLS) GOTTERILL writes from 10, Knoll Road, Sidcup, Kent. “ We moved here last November, at half term, all mixed up with taking part in the London Bible College annual meeting at Westminster Chapel, after which I had a miniature O.C. reunion with Annette Harris and one or two others. I think we are nearly straight, after six months. With all our much hospitality these past months we have not crossed the lines of many Chefoo folk. We are always glad to renew old acquaintances if any of those who know us are this way. Have you any recent news of the CALVIN COOKS ? (Has anyone ?) “JOE is still deep in Crusader work; Arran bivouac camp last August, where RICHARD MARTIN was one of his camp, Wales this year. He is now coleader of Sidcup Class, and Kent area secretary.

“...We miss Dr. Judd, who came to our house each month for the C.I.M. Prayer Meeting. He hardly seemed older than when I was in the Prep School.” ROBERTSON and BETTY SINTON are settled in Taunton, Somerset, where he is working as a consultant chest physician for Yeovil, Chard, and the rest of South Somerset. MRS. M. H. ROWE writes: “ STANLEY returned to the C.M.S. Grammar School at Lagos last August. He much enjoyed the Royal visit; the highlight of which was, of course, to him, the Lagos United Schools’ Rally on the race-course. There were 34,000 children there. ‘ No. 70’s mother ’ (B.S. amah !) is still doing what she can with her needle in Tunbridge Wells C.I.M. circles.” REV. KEITH STEVENSON sends news: “ Though living in an ambiguous road—Asylum Road (S.E. 15), I have nothing to do with mental asylums, but in addition to my task in restoring a blitzed church (the only Church of England on the Old Kent Road) I am chaplain to the Licensed Victuallers’ Provident Asylum— a home for retired...”

“... and nine-year-old Patricia live in Agincourt. We see them weekly. Muriel, the ‘ baby ’ of our trio, Mrs. J. H. Boutsell, Willow Grove, Philadelphia, wife of a doctor, with Beatrice aged nine, and twin seven year old boys, visits here once a year, and is visited when opportunity offers. Neither one of the girls had the privilege of attending Chefoo Schools, having to return home with us when illness brought me home just as Dorothy was of school age. They, however, all have met many Chefusians and have good friends amongst them. I would not be without the magazine on any account. My connection with the Mission dates back to 1898. Many of the Chefoo ‘ boys ’ and ‘ girls ’ will remember Miss Ida Craig, for many years principal of the Girls’ School and for over fifty years a dear friend of mine. Some of them may not know that Miss Craig is now in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Toronto, confined to bed and very frail. She would value the prayers of old Chefusians, no doubt. I keep in close...”

They hope to go back to Formosa soon. “ Since I last wrote, I have graduated from Wheaton (’53) and have taken all my class work for a master’s degree in Biblical literature. The only thing remaining is the thesis, which I hope to do this summer. Last summer it was good to get up to Toronto, if only for a day, and see HELEN WINDSOR and DORIS SEAMAN, as at least representative of Chefoo days. I am sharing an apartment in north Minneapolis with another Wheaton graduate who is taking work at the university. We enjoy doing and eating our own cooking. FLORA NELL, my sister, is a junior at Wheaton, also majoring in English, and I understand there is quite a large gang of Chefusians there. I’m not sure of names.” On Monday night, February 13th, a C.I.M. gathering was held at the home of the Victor Christianson’s to hear MR. 24...”

“...knew MISS PHARE and MISS STARK, and several of the Chefusians there, so we felt they were almost Chefoo. At another supper, EGBERT ANDREWS, home from Formosa, and LILY ORR, were both present. LILY still works in an insurance office and plays the organ in Tenth Presbyterian Church on Sundays. Actually my contact with Chefusians is rather limited up in this cold section of the U.S. I miss the Chefoo sings we had from Golden Bells- in Wheaton.

TOM SPRINGER is in tenth grade and taking an active interest in football and the band, besides his other studies. He says Hi ’ to all his buddies who might read this magazine.” ISABEL TAYLOR left Toronto May 7th, on her way to Japan and the Chefoo school there in Karuizawa. She sailed from Vancouver May 15th, by a steamship of the Nippon Yushen Kaisha line (remember them, or alternatively Yangtse valley people, Nippon Kishen Kaisha?). She will be teaching at the Chefoo school, or perhaps one means she will be the staff of the Chefoo school there. MARION, who has been secretary at Wycliffe College in the University of Toronto for long enough to earn the gratitude of the whole of that C. of E. institution, in a bonus holiday this summer, will sail for England and Scotland in June. How she can tear herself away from her garden, no one knows, but she has great plans, and among them...”
