“...Remember Jesus Christ, Risen from the dead ” (2 Tim. 2. 8, R.V.). Victorious over sin and death, always praying for us, always at hand, at our right hand, so that we should not be moved by Satan and his wiles. Let us then remember Him and put our whole trust in Him, and “ In Him ” share in His victory over Satan and sin. If I mistake not, these things were brought constantly to our notice in the Chefoo Schools and will continue to be so as long as they exist and wherever they may be situated. Let us praise Him for all that is past and trust Him for all that is to come. P. A. Bruce {President of the Association)....”

“...occasion for rejoicing, and so it is with our own Association—the C.S.A. As we reflect on the fifty years of our existence—not many can cover the whole period !— we can indeed thank God for the many O.C’s whose devotion and loyalty to their old schools have kept our Association alive. With members scattered all over the world, very few of whom could ever re-visit their “ Alma Mater ”, the maintenance of the C.S.A. has always presented special problems, but, in spite of several critical periods, the Association is still very much alive to-day. However, our rejoicings cannot help being tinged with a certain measure of sorrow. Tragic circumstances in China, to many of us the land of our birth, have brought about the end of our beloved schools at Chefoo, and thus the very source from which we used to draw new members no longer exists. Nevertheless, the spirit of Chefoo still lives on in the hearts of many O.C’s: to them the traditions of their old schools are a treasured possession, and for many their...”

“...O.P. or Chums or Punch or—best of all—The Illustrated London News. I have subscribed to the last almost ever since. Yes I am glad I went to Chefoo. It was a good teacher of many things. Carrington Goodrich (Chairman, North American Branch') AUSTRALIAN BRANCH (Extracts from a letter dated March, 1958) IA7E formed two sections at our last annual meeting in our spring (October). These ’ ’ will meet separately in our autumn (April, May) and jointly in October. We are intending to perpetuate the stabilizing junction of our C.I.M. home here, which has been so very obvious in the past. In fact, it could almost be said, “ No C.I.M. home, no C.S.A.” The local hostel, which is a super large family home run by Mr. Kitchen, is called “ Ruling ”, and this made the division so easy and obvious. The children go from there to various local schools and high schools, and even university, in conjunction with the C.I.M. home. Integration in a queer world, as we know it, is not for them— they fit already. For...”

“...n of these gatherings. We were indeed favoured in having such men of God as Dr. Alan Cole, M.Th., Ph.D., of the C.I.M.O.M.F., and Rev. Lawrence Love, of Florida, U.S.A., to minister to us in spiritual things. The Lord was with us in power and challenged many of us to see the tremendous responsibility and privilege of systematic, persistent and regular intercession on behalf of missionaries overseas. As I thought in retrospect over the years in China, and particularly of our days at school in Chefoo, I realized a little of what we old Chefusians owed to the prayers of faithful intercessors in the Homelands. Rev. L. Love made us see that the Christian life was a warfare, and that the battle against “ principalities and powers ” in heathen lands was won on the knees of prayer warriors at home. We needed “ the whole armour of God ” so that we could “ pray always with all supplication and perseverance with all saints ” (Ephesians 6. 18). Would it not be a grand thing if we who have been the...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE Sit jlUmoriain DR. ALFRED HOGG FAR. ALFRED HOGG was a familiar U figure on the Chefoo Compound forty or fifty years ago. As a family doctor of the old school he attended to the needs of children, staff and visitors. Nor did he confine his duties to the hours of surgery and the daily rounds which often included a walk to “ Iso ” be the weather what it may. In his own home he and his wife exercised a ministry of gracious hospitality for the refreshment of the jaded or the recuperation of convalescents. Later generations of Chefusians accepted as a matter of course the well-built hospital block with its light, airy wards and pretty rest rooms, that could at a pinch accommo- date two patients. Few realized, perhaps, that the convenient buildings which took the place of earlier structures were largely due to the faith and prayers and careful planning of Dr. and Mrs. Hogg and the hospital staff of that period. Many who read this will have remembrances of the kindly doctor and...”

“...successful, but the disease spread later to many other parts. During a time of wonderfully restored health in January and February, Marie was able to make quite a number of records which were sent to the Philippines. Just before she passed away word was received of the tremendous joy and challenge these had been to the Buhid. and we believe that her prayer and labour on their behalf and sacrifice for them, will shortly bring forth “ much fruit ”. MARGUERITE DICKIE A/TARGUERITE DICKIE attended the Chefoo Schools from 1914-1920 and went to China under the China Inland Mission in 1933. She was a graduate nurse of the Oshawa (Ontario) General Hospital, and rendered noble service in several hospitals in China. After leaving China in 1951 she had a serious illness, but latterly was able to take up nursing again in Vancouver, a city she loved for its beauty and one in which she had worked as a nurse before going to China. After an operation at the beginning of October, !957, she developed a serious blood...”

“...Secretary: Miss L. Parry. At a Committee Meeting on May 6th, 1908, it was resolved that the Association be called “ The Chefoo Schools Association ”, and this has remained unaltered throughout the fifty years. Officers were to be elected annually and the subscription for the first year was fixed at 2/6 per member. The first issue of our magazine Chefoo was made at the end of 1908, with H. W. Hunt as Editor, and his firm as printers. Originally there were three issues annually, but this was subsequently reduced to two, as this was found to be more satisfactory from every point of view. The Association gradually grew until there are now branches in North America, Australia and New Zealand. The branch in China automatically closed when that country became Communist and the school buildings were commandeered. During the war between 1915 and 1918 committee meetings lapsed somewhat, but the Association was kept alive and resumed its activities early in 1919, reunions being re-commenced on January...”

“...and a few others, a deep debt of gratitude for preventing the Chefoo Schools Association from becoming extinct. At the Emergency Committee Meeting it was found that the finances of the Association were in a perilous condition, and the pre-war Treasurer having resigned, the Hon. Secretary undertook to obtain the books of Account and prepare a statement of the exact position, so that the Official Committee could give it close consideration. This took a long time to put together and it was not until October 16th, 1945, that the figures could be presented. Vigorous methods were then adopted and it is a cause of thankfulness to God that the Chefoo Schools Association has continued satisfactorily ever since. I have refrained from mentioning names, except those of the first Committee members, but there are special people to whom the Association owes a very great deal. It is impossible to predict what the future holds for the Association; certainly, it looks as though there will be no “ old boys and...”

“...A Thanksgiving in Retrospect But the sea, Oh, the sea ! There’s no better place to be. CO we used to sing enthusiastically in the summer, in the days when the Chefoo School was “ beside the sea ”, when we could leave the compound by the Main Gate, cross the hot surface of the road, and step on to the warm beach, our eyes screwed up because of the glare on white sand and advancing waves. Though built within sight of the sea, the school had to move away from it during the war to Weihsien, in inland Shantung, and to Ruling, up the Yangtze, after the war. The settings of Chefoo and Ruling had their own compensations, as this description will show, and beautiful memories are a cause for gratitude which we love to express. Even Weihsien was not without its unforeseen delights. The influence the sea had on our activities in Chefoo was not surprising; beside it we picnicked, in it we dog-paddled before we could swim, and on it we rowed. Beside it, again, we held our C.S.S.M’s and in it baptisms...”

“...on a light, and that a boy “ carries ” a girl to a party. It’s soothing to be called “ sugah ” or “ sugar pie ” when you’re feeling low. We are, of course, conscious of the racial issues, but I’ve never seen any friction here. The beautiful new wards just opened are for Negro patients. There are nine of us teachers here, doing individual tutoring with books the children bring from their own schools. Trying to keep up with twelve or fifteen texts in all kinds of subjects is a bit frustrating, and the real pleasure in the work is, of course, the children themselves. Their polio involvement varies. Many of my pupils get around easily in wheel-chairs; some lie in body casts, propped up on pillows; some lie on their backs over frames which lump hips higher than head or feet, to stretch muscles contracted from sitting too much. The spirit of Warm Springs is its finest characteristic, and my pupils are a continual inspiration. I’m glad that they’re such normal, cheerful teen-agers, devoted to...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE ” I’m fresher than you, Sir” By David Bentley-Taylor T)ROBABLY few contributors to this unique magazine were at Chefoo for so short a time as I was, a mere 635 days, and that only as a member of staff, a status secondary to the real thing. I went there fairly fresh from an English prep school, a distinguished public school, and a famous University, yet in my affections and meditations over things past Chefoo beats the lot— largely, I think, because life was so much cleaner there, unsullied by the bullyings, beatings, cheatings and drunkenness which had marred communities where Christ was little known in a personal way. And some of those 635 days are outstanding to me still. There was a day when the whole compound went for a mammoth picnic to Lighthouse Island in two American Navy pinnaces. Each held about 150 persons and carried a crew of three self-conscious important-looking young men, who brought their boats alongside the jetty at maximum speed and then stopped them dead...”

“...was advisable to keep one eye on Quimby and one on the rest of the school. (And is that a shoe in the aisle equidistant from four desks whose occupants are working so industriously ? Should I allude to it, or not ? And is Billy reading his history book or another book at a slightly lower level ?) Quimby-had a flair for birds too. They perched on his finger, sat on the end of his bed in the sickroom, and flew down from the roof into his window when called upon to do so. It was on that ground at Chefoo that I bowled the last ball of my cricketing life, though I knew it not. It had David Hayman palpably leg-before-wicket and I swung round in a vociferous appeal. The umpire was John Quimby. With a most charming smile he explained that I had followed through right across the line of his vision so that he was quite unable to offer any opinion in the matter—a decision unique in my experience. There was a day when I walked to both extremities of the Bluff and its highest point as well, in company...”

“...popped over the top of the wall, followed by the master, who took a favourable view of the situation. So I picked Donald Fish up and he doled out tracts to the whole lot from my shoulders. I estimate that in these expeditions we disposed of towards 15,000 tracts. It was all we could do under the circumstances and good seed bears a harvest one day. Eighteen years afterwards I am writing these words in our village home in East Java and the road has led straight through from those trips into the Chefoo countryside. There was a day when Haakon Torjesen, aided by Jackie Fitzwilliam and Gilbert Dunachie, founded the Children’s Magazine. They used to borrow my typewriter and go into a huddle in my room overlooking the sea. My advice was rarely asked. The magazine contained articles, poems, serials (hero up tree—lion at the bottom—continued in our next), Biblical expositions, sermonettes, Bible quizzes, and the like. At ten cents a copy it was a howling success and half the first issue was sold...”

“...and wearing his winter overcoat. Silhouetted on the skyline for a moment he raised his right hand high in a greeting, the warmth of which cheered us and has remained in my memory till this day. But only a week later we sailed past those rugged Shantung mountains into the world outside and left Chefoo to itself for ever and ever. CHEFOO TO ME (2JHEFOO to me means sights, and sound, and smells; The guardian hills; the ever changing sea; It means long corridors; and ringing bells; And bread and peanut butter still for tea. It means to move in childhood’s wonderland; To skip from rock to rock at the low tide; To search for cats’ eyes in the clean warm sand; In fields of kaoliang to run and hide. Chefoo means youthful feelings, now long gone; Exhilaration from a game well played, A lesson learned, or exercise well done; And, when the last bell’s rung, the last prayer prayed, The secure feeling in a bed at night, With the mosquito netting tucked in tight. E.M.H.T. *9...”

“...excellently made silhouettes of Chefoo and dolphins and streamers in school colours—the work of the three Misses Stark—watched the merry proceedings. The table, too, was festively decorated and its centre piece was a Jubilee cake. Supper followed other games and then came the feature of the evening: “ Chefoo in 1936”, a silent film by Mr. Dunachie. Dr. Dorothy Toop barely managed to beat all comers for the commentary. At the interval the belated jellies were consumed, but not before we witnessed Stanley Rowe in the star-turn of the evening, making the discovery that there’s many a slip ’tween tray and lip. They were “jelly” good just the same. In the absence of our Chairman, Mr. Howard Joyce, through illness, Mr. W. D. Mudditt took the chair, for the A.G.M. reports were given by David and Arthur Parry. To Mr. Mudditt, a foundation member, was given the honour of leading our evening prayers. He reminded us of what God had done through the Mission, its schools, and the C.S.A., over these fifty...”

“...Chefusians to Kulingites has been quite complete. The former are now rarely seen, but always very welcome. We have our club meetings on Sunday nights, periodically throughout the school year. Missionaries and old Chefusians passing through town always make an interesting feature on the programme which mainly consists of singing from “ Golden Bells Standing around the piano with refreshments in hand while singing the favourite old school songs, usually ends up the meeting. The first of our semi-annual Chefoo reunions was on Thanksgiving Day. There were about thirty of us who enjoyed the time.. We are now looking forward to our second on May 23rd. A big Chinese meal and a lovely programme is in store for us. Bruce Crapuchettes.

“...and I get numerous opportunities to visit Georgetown, the capital, sixty-five miles down river and on the coast. You can appreciate my amazement when I discovered that our agent in Georgetown was an old Chefoo boy, Roy Lucas, 1919-1926. I think he left in about the fourth form. His twin sisters were in Lunghwa internment camp, Shanghai, with me, and one of them had the distinction of being married there. My wife and I, together with three others, have started a Sunday School for expatriate staff children, and at the moment we have about sixty-five children. At Christmas we invited the parents to our Carol Service and fifty turned up. It was a real thrill to us to know of this interest among them and to have the privilege of telling them the Christmas story and applying it to their own lives. Life in a mining community is lived, and at a hard pace, and the addition of a construction outfit makes it even more so. “ We spend our free time at the swimming pool or exploring the jungle and bush...”

“...Trona, California. RUTH (JACOBSEN) WATSON is in Los Angeles, and has two girls. ELSIE (JACOBSEN) HARDING is living in Chicago, and has five children (one set of twins). She and her husband opened a nursery school for pre-school children. Haven’t heard how they are getting along. We had almost a Chefoo reunion while we were in Chicago. My folks are living in the Mission Home there now, having retired from mission work overseas. JOAN (SWENSON) TOFT had us all over after church one night. In all their were seven of us: JOAN, PEARL (SWENSON) SERGEANT (planning to go back to Japan in mission work), my other sister, WINIFRED (ENGLUND) CHRISTIANSEN, JAKE (ELSIE), and someone I hadn’t seen since Chefoo days, RUTH (GLITTENBURG) STARR, and her^fc brother KEN. He works on some hush-hush job for the government in Racine, Wisconsin, and he is unmarried.
