“... 4th, 1958, and attend in force. As I write these notes, the table before me is piled with notebooks, albums, letters and cuttings which comprise the material of Dr. Judd’s History of the C.I.M. Schools at Chefoo. Joe Dunlap and I have spent an evening going over these papers, and our attempts to classify them have been continually side-tracked into delightful bye-ways of anecdote and reminiscence. With every page that is turned, history comes to life, memories crowd in, and long-forgotten scenes and faces come before the eyes. This fascinating material, which Mrs. Judd has kindly left in the care of the C.S.A., is available for any Chefusian to study, enjoy and use, by arrangement with the Committee. It also could form the basis of a very valuable collection of documents concerning the schools, past and present, and we would welcome every thread that might be woven into the fabric of our history. The G.B. Branch Summer Reunion will be held at Maxwell Plouse on Saturday, September 7th....”

“...increase subscriptions, but an appeal was made to those who were in a position to do so to give a little extra. As a result of this appeal we received the sum of £13 last year, which has helped to turn the deficit on the Magazine Account into a small surplus.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE 4ht ittmoriam MISS FLORENCE HERBERT fJNE of the noble army of nurses who wrestled with the many epidemics that invaded the Chefoo Schools, and lovingly cared for the very sick, was Miss Florence Herbert. One’s outstanding memory of her was of her cheerfulness, and her habit of looking on the bright side. She was no mean artist, but what charmed us most was her unusual gift of whistling, and at our MORRISON TAYLOR 'T’ORONTO Chefoo circles lost a valued -*• and faithful member in the death of MORRISON TAYLOR. MORRISON died suddenly of a heart attack on October 25th, 1956. He came to Toronto from Chefoo in 1912. He saw service in the first War, going overseas with two Chefoo friends, FRANCIS DICKIE and TIM MCCARTHY, the latter of whom was killed in the second War. Since then, except for a period of study at McGill, MORRISON has been with the Toronto Hydro-Electric Commission. REV. JOHN DAVID HAYES, D.D. 1888-1957 {Copy of “ Memorial Minute ” issued by the Board of Foreign Missions...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE CHEFOO NOSTALGIA AT is it ? As a Canadian who has now spent probably the greater part of his life in Canada raising a large family and making many friends over the years, I can recall from time to time meeting and hearing people reminisce about childhood spent here and boyhood spent there, and I cannot ever recall wishing or feeling that 1 would have preferred to have lived my childhood or boyhood elsewhere than at Chefoo. Perhaps that is Chefoo Nostalgia. But it is also a great deal more. It covers the LTills—the Baby Towers on register holidays—the J.R’s and the War Arrows— football cake matches—Tuesday bump supper nights, exeat—winter holidays spent at Chefoo, and the love and kindness that was especially then showered on us who were away from home. It has also in it summer holidays and my Birthday Anniversary picnic party usually held at Second Beach on August 2nd. It includes Foundation Day, Exhibition Day, Sundays when we could gaze on the particular girl of our choice...”

“... as everyone knows, the largest car manufacturing FORTY OD FIFTY YEARS OA “ Shorter in wind, as in memory long ” T N one of my desk drawers I still keep * three albums of Chefoo photographs. The earliest is of the start of the Junior Long Run in 1905; the latest is of the Sixth Form in June, 1915. Three or four times a year these albums come out of the drawer, and I turn their pages for half-an-hour or so with a happy mixture of pleasure, nostalgia and amusement. There are posed pictures of cricket and football teams, of rowing crews and sport’s day prize-winners; and there are informal shots of picnics at the Rocks, the Pinnacle, the Monastery and the Bamboo Temple. That these old and sometimes faded pictures can give so much current pleasure is an indication of the part Chefoo played in these formative years. Chefoo, like Gaul and a good sermon, can be divided into three parts—the teachers, the setting, and one’s schoolmates. The teachers of my day were a devoted and able group. They...”

“...hoisted over last week-end ” (instead of What did Chefoo give us ? The answer must necessarily be personal and selective. We got, I think, a first-class education. The field we covered was perhaps a bit narrow, but the cultivation went rather deeper than appears to be the current practice. I, at least, really learned the fundamentals of how to read, to write and to think, and one can hardly ask more of any school. In my days in Chefoo the work in Latin, Mathematics and English History (up to 1815) was first-rate. A thorough knowledge of the English Bible acquired in Chefoo (and in our own homes) has become part of the pith and substance of our lives. We learned to “ play the game ”, to be governed by the spirit as well as the letter of the rules. Perhaps we were a bit priggish, but I think we developed some understanding of the real meaning of truth, honesty, loyalty, and other things of “ good report ”. There were a few gaps in the pre-1915 Chefoo. There was no work in the natural sciences,...”

“...TEN YEARS ON T N September of this year I shall be going -*■ to the island of Taiwan as a missionary, serving under the Presbyterian Church in Canada. More than ten years ago I graduated from the China Inland Mission Schools at Chefoo. Are these two statements totally unrelated ? or, if there is some relation between them, just how far are they associated together ? We wrote our final matriculation exams in Weihsien Concentration camp in 1945. Then we were officially graduates of the Chefoo Schools. At the time I thought that I had come to the conclusion of something—my education—only to find that I had come to an end, but the other end, for I discovered that I was still at the beginning. To know the past tense of pouvoir, or the p.p.p. of rego; to estimate the value of stocks after fifteen years at three-and-a-quarter per cent.; to discover where A would be if he had been C, when D was visiting B—this was the task to be learned in the class room. All these things were interesting and they...”

“...only in this world—angels live in heaven—and we are commissioned by our Lord to go out into all the world with the Gospel. I am thankful for all that Chefoo did for me, but I am also thankful that we went to Weihsien when we did and became introduced to the “ world ” for which Christ died. The life in the Chefoo schools was not normal by any criterion. Given the circumstances—the perfectionism, unrelenting high standards, and our isolation and ignorance of any other standards—it is perhaps hard to see how it could have been “ normal And those who taught there probably realized this fact but they never told us. It has taken me many years to overcome some of the phobias which I acquired while I was then* —and I guess there are some which I shall never completely conquer. The good points greatly outnumber the bad ones however, so my debt to Chefoo still stands. I hope that I shall be able to pay it back by teaching in Taiwan, so that the Formosan Christians may be able to give an answer to everyone...”

“...younger members who may not remember the event) T DON’T know whether the newspapers A in your part of the world are concerning themselves with our recent doings along the China coast, but if they are, you may have been getting some rather startling news and may like to hear first hand what really happened. We have had an opportunity to prove in a new way how gloriously the Lord fulfils His promises and how His peace can garrison the heart in a time of danger. We were due to leave Shanghai for Chefoo on January 29th with a party of seventy children and five escorts—members of the staff. A few days earlier, Mr. Duncan, who was to be in charge of the boys—and as the only man was virtually responsible for the whole party—felt rather unsettled about the boat we were to take, as the accommodation was rather cramped for so many, so several of us met together, with one or two of the executive here, to discuss the matter and pray over it, with the result that we came to the unanimous conclusion that...”

“...that no ship ought to have been unloading cargo in that bay. We waited quite a long time in suspense as to what would happen to the hostages, and it was with very thankful hearts that we saw the pirates run off' as soon as they got on shore and leave the rest unharmed. As soon as these returned to the boat we sent wireless messages (for in their hurry the pirates had forgotten to smash the wireless apparatus as they had meant to do) to Hongkong, Shanghai and Chefoo, to let people know where we were. We ought to have reached Chefoo on Thursday, and when there was still no news on Friday morning, in spite of good weather, and no reply to wireless messages, people got terribly anxious about us; in Shanghai the suspense was terrible for most of Friday—we had several whole families of children on board, and they were holding a special prayer meeting there on Friday, in which many were in tears, and some had almost come to the point of giving up their children, when the first news came that the...”

“...boat was found; a little later came the added word that all were safe. We went on to Hongkong for coal and on Sunday turned north again for Shanghai, reaching there on Thursday morning. We were welcomed by such a crowd on the jetty, singing the Doxology, and “ O God, our help in ages past it was lovely. We heard that Mr. Bruce, headmaster of the Boys’ School, and Miss Pyle from the Girls’ School, were coming down to take charge of the party back to Chefoo, as Mr. Gibb felt that we would have had as much as we could stand, so on Saturday morning there was another send off. One of the miracles of mercy, beside the actual protection from the pistols of the pirates, was the guidance given to the Captain in steering the boat along the very dangerous coast between Shanghai and Hongkong, without an up-to-date chart: the boat had not taken that route for years and consequently was not provided with charts for it. I believe the officers were quite as anxious about that as they were about the threats...”

“...Among the familiar friends there was a wonderful diversity: from Australia David Michel: from Egypt David Thompson (with his brother Gordon): from Malaya Margaret Dickson, representing the youngest Chefoo: from North America Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Harris. Nearly every stratum of our history was represented, down to the children of Chefusians: but two links with the past have been broken by the death of Dr. Judd and Mrs. Mason. The evening ended with Jack Weller taking us on a tour of America with coloured slides. He had travelled across America the previous summer in connection with the gathering of the World Council of Churches, and it made us all wish we could have been included ! Mr. Lyall brought the gathering to a close with family prayers and the singing of “ The Lord’s my Shepherd ” to the Chefoo tune. S. G. Martin. Those present were: Chinese Chow D. Baker, Olive Botham, Elva and Winnifred Cook, Miss M. Dickson, Joe Dunlap, Doris Emberv, Katie Graham, Janet Greening, Wyn Lambert. Rev. A...”

“...was some justification for Marjorie Lawson Lugsdin’s opening that it w'as a relief to find someone she knew. There was no programme. The only business was a report from Norman Austin on The Three Hills Book committee, printed elsewhere. Then we simply reminisced, which would seem to be the serious business of any reunion, as for a couple of hours, we were severally and individually taken back in time to Ruling of the late 40’s, Kalimpong or Weihsien of the early 40’s, or to our own particular Chefoo decade from the gay 90’s to Chefoo’s end in those same 40’s. Those present were: Norman Austin, Mary Bell, Edward and Mrs. Bevis, Ruth Bevis, Eunice Bevis Coles, Margaret Bunting, Miss Carpmael, Miss Clarkson, Elizabeth Kirk Cooper, Hugh and Mrs. Coulthard, with Anne.

“...Society he should apply to. HENRY and MARY GUINNESS arrived home on furlough from Malaya in February and are now engaged in deputation work in this country.

MAY HARDING for the past year has taught in two types of special schools; first a school for the educationally subnormal, and then in a school for the deaf and dumb.

“...many will be interested and wish her good health and many more happy years.” MARION TAYLOR entertained at Sunday supper for RUTH WHITTLESEY SPENCER and her husband, Dr. Spencer, when they were in Toronto attending a medical convention.

Strange how much, after even all these years, one can find in common, and all at least professed to recognize everyone. Certainly we would all have known RUTH anywhere.
