“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE, No. 63 DECEMBER, 1959 General Committee Notes The Constitution of the C.S.A. Over the last twenty years the composition of the C.S.A. has been gradually changing, with the inclusion of an ever-increasing proportion of members from the schools and hostels which have succeeded Chefoo, North China. Inevitably the C.S.A. Constitution has become in certain respects out-dated and inappropriately phrased. The North American Branch Committee has taken the initiative of revising it, and copies of the amended Constitution are now in the hands of all Branch Secretaries, who will be pleased to lend them to anyone wishing to study the changes. We wish you all a very happy Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. Arthur R. Parry {Hon. Gen. Secretary). J SHOULD like to thank all those who have contributed to this issue of the Magazine, and to apologize to those whose articles I have not been able to include, as due to the rise in the cost of printing, the magazine has had to be...”

“...elegance as if she were only just starting. Throughout the ten-day journey the world had come to laugh at her as a comedian, to admire her as a climber, and love her as a personality. She had forged her trunk route over the Alps. If elephants never forget, she never will. Nor will we ! John Hoyte. SOME NOTES ON THE EFFECT OF TEACHING AT CHEFOO ON MY LIFE AND WORK * K. C. Evans (1919) TT is not easy to point to the ways in which the Chefoo Schools prepared me for my life work. It would perhaps be easier to name the defects in the education obtained there, or the lacks in it that had to be remedied or made up afterwards. The Anglicans in the C.I.M. schools were a small minority. They were the only ones whose “ denomination ” was recognized; all the others, even including the Lutherans, went off Sunday by Sunday to a “ union ” church. I never remember hearing Lutheran missionaries complaining about the arrangement. Most of those missionaries undoubtedly felt that a new, a higher level of religious...”

“...the real and actual things in our daily experience. The Bible and Latin, rather than China and the world in the making, are what tend to absorb us. Quite unintentionally in the Chefoo Schools the monastic spirit was transformed into a Protestant and evangelical environment. Others might describe the process as the fostering of a very strict puritanism within a small, circumscribed area. In fact, the schools and compound were enclosed. There was no wall to jump over, but the ring of hills above us, and the vast oriental population around us, formed a more effective barrier than any wall. Only once in my acquaintance with the schools, and that four years after I left, did boys try to jump over this invisible wall. And to recapture them was very easy. People spread out and went along the roads leading away from Chefoo. As they went, they just asked the Chinese whether they had seen three “ foreign ” boys. They picked up the trail in half-an-hour, though it took a few hours to overtake the truants...”

“...rich and fortunate. And, of course, we were. We had those things which promoted health, contentment, and the sound mind. It is in the realm of these intangible but very real things that one gained most for life and work from the C.I.M. Schools at Chefoo. * Kenneth Evans had a distinguished career at the University of Toronto, as professor of oriental languages and later Dean of Divinity at Trinity College, the Church of England college in the University of Toronto. In 1944 he was appointed Dean of Montreal’s Christ Church Cathedral. He is now Bishop of Ontario, with headquarters in Kingston, Ontario. 3he St, Cawrence Seaway— A personal 19 tew COME twenty-five years ago, the Che-fusian, new to Canada, very young, very unsophisticated, in fact very Chefoo, arrived to teach Canadian history and kindred subjects to the youth of Iroquois— a little old village in the heart of “ old ” Canada—half way between Toronto and Montreal on the St. Lawrence river. And insensibly, she became tied up with...”

“...Brouse; Carman, Casselman, Coon; Ellis, Forward, Harkness, Merkley; Parlow, Seeley, Service, Shaver. There was too much past, perhaps not enough present and future. It drove the ambitious sons away, to Toronto, to the far west, to the prairies. Those who remained lacked drive; and living pleasantly did not make Iroquois grow. It had its rapids, and in a very special sense, its river. Many came back to the river. Some could not bear to leave it. The Chefusian had seen sunsets over Settlement Hill in Chefoo, over the unbroken expanse of the Indian Ocean, or over the same distances on the prairies, but the Chefusian soon agreed with the local inhabitants that nowhere, and nothing, is quite the equal of the moonlight or the sunset dancing, glancing off, and sparkling on those St. Lawrence rapids. And so, while she did not stay, she could quite understand those who did, and she came back. This love affair with the St. Lawrence culminated in the opening by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and President...”

“...Manchester took her friends by surprise. God had a quiet ministry for her there, and she was happy in her new life. Her husband delighted in her stories of Chefoo, inland China and the C.I.M., and shared her love for the Word of God. May he be comforted in his loneliness. “ ALL for Jesus, ALL for Jesus. This the Church’s song shall be, Till at last we stand before Thee, One in love and one in Thee.” REUNION REPORTS A FLYING VISIT TO THE NORTH AMERICAN JUBILEE REUNION, TORONTO A CHRISTMAS letter from Margaret ** Bunting gave me the first news of the suggested special reunion of the North American Branch of the Chefoo Schools Association. Margaret informed me that the reunion, to celebrate the fifty years of the association’s existence, was to take the form of an outing to Niagara Falls, and that the time proposed was as near as possible to the Schools’ Foundation Day in June. It then seemed highly improbable that I, living as I do in Vancouver, British Columbia, would be in Toronto to attend, and...”

“...encouraged by an optimistic weather report, we set forth on the day’s expedition. In shepherding me on and off street-cars, buses, and subway trains, Marion gave me my introduction to the complexities of travel in Metropolitan Toronto. We Chefusians gathered, seventy-five strong at the bus depot at Bay and Dundas Streets, where we were ushered aboard two chartered buses, labelled “ Chefoo ”, This name, so familiar to all of us, must have seemed strange indeed to many who saw it on the buses that day ! Once aboard, we were issued lapel pins bearing our names, and the dates of our attendance at the Chefoo schools. Leaving Toronto, we motored over a modern divided highway, the Queen Elizabeth Way, along the shores of Lake Ontario. We crossed the new Burlington Skyway, publicized as “ the longest engineering highway structure in Canada ”. The city of Hamilton, thus by-passed, lay to the right across Hamilton Bay. The time passed so quickly in conversation with friends of long ago—Marjorie Tull...”

“...Here, at the airport, my husband met me; I was back home. Although the pictures of places will remain long in my mind’s gallery, it was the people whom I met that made my visit to Toronto truly worthwhile. On several occasions, each one abounding in reminiscences of Chefoo, I enjoyed meeting contemporaries of mine or my sister Maud’s. The kindness and hospitality of Toronto Chefusians I shall never forget. I had not seen some of them since I left school in 1920, or even earlier, and their ways in forty years had diverged widely from mine, yet I felt with them the ease of old friendship, based undoubtedly upon the fact that we had, to borrow the words from our invitation cards to the reunion, “ a great deal in common, Chefoo, China ”. Edith (Hutson) Thirkell, 1911-1920. | This is most irregular, and will embarrass any reading Torontonian, used from other Canadian cities, only, to “ Let’s All Hate Toronto Campaigns But when it comes from scenic Vancouver, it’s an accolade that can only send...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE Great Britain On Saturday, September 5th, the C.S.A. Summer Reunion was once again held in the delightfully free and easy atmosphere of Maxwell House. This is the home of the C.I.M. children whose parents are on the field, and here we have the opportunity of meeting some of the Chefusians from the little Chefoo Schools in the Far East. The latest arrival was Humphrey Clarke, son of Dr. Rupert Clarke, one of the “ Sons of the Prophets ” who added spice to our lives in Chefoo in 1938-1939. One of the features of this reunion is the picnic lunch in the garden. Faith Mc-Gahan (nee Clayton), her husband and four children arrived early and found a shady corner under a tree, where they had a family party seated on a rug. Others sat around and gossiped, while Edith Preedy plied them with cups of tea. Godfrey Hirst, Dr. Hoyte, Robin and John were among the number. John Hoyte had brought press cuttings and photos of his British Alpine Hannibal Expedition. The story of his trip was...”

“...opened this year, and proud we Aucklanders are of it. A brief business session followed in which Stan Conway and Mary Howie were re-elected respectively as President and Secretary-Treasurer. This year we have been privileged to have visiting us, Rev. J. H. Liversidge (Chefoo 1930-1938), known to most of us as “Joe”. He is in New Zealand on a short tour of deputation for the Japan Evangelistic Band. During the evening Joe gave us a Bible reading and showed us some lovely Kodachrome slides illustrating missionary work in Japan. He spoke to us of the urgent need of the Gospel to be taken to that beautiful, densely populated and needy land, steeped in idolatry, superstition and materialism. After Joe’s address we sang the Chefoo anthem, “ Lord of all Power and Might,” and the evening closed with a cup of tea and biscuits. Those present were: Mrs. Brock and Joan, Stan and Meric Conway, Norah Conway, Mrs. Gibb, Stan Goold, Lois Gosling (nee Dawson), Lois and Francis Gosling, Joe Liversidge, Mrs...”

“...expects to be there another two years. MISS LUCIA and I were delighted to meet JEAN RAITT (ne'e ALLEN) in Hastings when on holiday in August. She enjoyed all the news we were able to give her of past members of her form at Chefoo. Her young daughter, Carol, seemed to know the names of all her mother’s school friends ! We also called on her cousin, JOYCE WARNER (nee REILLY) who was very pleased to renew old links. After more than a year of living in North London, our family feels more like Londoners ! I am very happy at the Parochial School at Clerkenwell. It is good to have MRS. HOSTE (nee NORAH EVANS) not far away (14 Firs Avenue, N.io), but we seem to be too busy to see much of each other ! ” HOWARD JOYCE had a very pleasant reunion one day in August with an old Chefoo form mate, ALFRED CROFTS, whom he last saw in 1915 ! Howard was able to produce a photo of a form group taken in the summer of 1915 and that evoked a flood of reminiscences of those days, War Arrows and J.R’s, etc., to which...”

“..., and found the experiences pleasant and useful; he began his first year at Oxford this autumn. S.G. and F.H.M. spent some time in August at the Moral Rearmament Conference at Caux, meeting people from forty nations, seeing what critical days we live in and how urgently we are challenged to live our faith relevantly. They write: “ At MARY LUTLEY’S wedding in September it was good to meet the CHALKLEYS, MRS. WELCH and MR. and MRS. KERRY. Pre-war Chefusians will remember the impression left on Chefoo life by the REV. A. F. LUTLEY’S cricket and skill on the parallel bars. When we went to internment on Temple Hill, we took the parallel bars he gave us: boys trained by those he had trained still attained unusual skill, so strong was the tradition he had established.” MR. W. D. MUDDITT writes: “ I have continued to make satisfactory progress since my coronary thrombosis last October, and feel quite fit again. My doctor, however, tells me I must still go slow and rest and not overdo it. My wife...”

“...blessed day. And to top it all, I got to visit Miss Griffith of Yangchow days. I hadn't seen her since ’29~’3O. I was greatly disappointed at not seeing Dr. and Mrs. Fish, but that will have to be another reason for returning to Toronto.” MRS. BROWNLEE, known to so many Chefusians on this and other continents: “ Thank you sincerely for your kind invitation to celebrate with you the fifty years of your Schools’ Association. It would be a joy and honour to do so, but I must resist the strong desire to do so. I shall have to be content with reading all about it in the next issue of the Chefoo magazine. My warmest greetings to any of your number who mav remember me.” ROSE OLSEN BONNER: “ Ronald and I unfortunately cannot possibly see our way clear to come to the Jubilee Reunion. As you may know, we are here on a two-point charge in Tiverton, Ontario). We are responsible for three services on this field on Sundays, and we could not get back for these Sunday services if we went...”

“...Eastern Gospel Crusade. ELAINE DAVIS enters the London Bible Institute (Ontario) this fall.” “CHESHIRE” DREYER: “Thank you so much for the very personal invitation to the next meeting of the Chefoo Schools Association at Niagara Falls. I shall not be able to make this one, although I should very much like to. In 1961, I shall be planning to attend the thirty-fifth reunion of my medical class in Toronto. This will probably be in October. As you know by now, I probably had a little more co-ordination for my age than some of the boys, but although I did continue athletics at the university, all I am now good for is handling some fast cars.” RAY EMSLIE: “I should so like to come to the fifty year celebration of the C.S.A. but just cannot make it. There may be a few members who remember the Emslies at Chefoo and Kuling (early Kuling). DOUGLAS, my eldest brother (classmate of KEN TAYLOR) was a chaplain during War II and died with his Scottish Regiment at St. Valerie de France. HAROLD, EMSLIE MINOR...”

“...of course, I sec KEN TAYLOR whenever I can, a wonderful person, carrying a tremendous job. You may sec me, and I hope recognize me at the bus depot.” About WANDA (HAZELTON) HUMBLE, the Rev. and Mrs. Arnold Humble, of Denver, Colorado, were appointed as missionaries by the Conservative Baptist Foreign Missionary Society of Wheaton. Illinois. Their field of service is undecided, but will probably be some place in the Far East. WANDA (HAZELTON) HUMBLE graduated from the Chefoo Schools in 1950. After completing her work at Chefoo she enrolled in the Biola Bible College in Los Angeles, where she received a B.A. degree in 1955. She served as girls’ chaplain at the Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall under the auspices of the Christian Jail Workers, after completing her studies at Biola. Her work included counselling, planning church services, and organizing in Sunday school classes, as well as follow-up contacts when the girls left the Hall. MR. and MRS. HUMBLE will spend the next few months visiting...”

LUCE, editor-in-chief, described the new headquarters of the Time publications as a workshop, because ‘ for much of the work in the world, this is the best location (I wonder how much of this HENRY LUCE foresaw in the far away Chefoo days ?) MURIEL (HUNTLEY) MACNESS writes: “ My sister IRENE and her hus- band, Verne Samuelson, are spending the summer at Moral Rearmament headquarters on Mackinac Island, Michigan, where they are helping with the work being done by this group of fine people.” BILL MARTIN: “Thanks for your note about the Chefoo bus ride to Niagara. I am sorry, but I expect to be up north the week-end of the 13th and so will not be able to make it.” MRS. TIM McCarthy gives news of the MCCARTHY family.
