Though increasingly plagued with disability through a progressive rare muscular disease he worked hard the last two years of his life to complete a compilation of his writings into a book to be entitled 'Born for the Battle', now being readied for publication. (Taken from the obituary in the Oct/Nov.1978 issue of East Asia Millions) Mrs May Purchas: 1901-1978 May Grainger was a Boxer baby born in that most tragic of years in the history of missions in China.

News from the Sydney Area: Chefoo Reunion - 27th October, 1978, Sydney Could you imagine a Chefoo Reunion when there weren't at least a dozen cross-conversations going on simultaneously? The years roll away and reminiscences flow thick and fast, dating from the early years of this century through to the present "Chefoo Schools" in various countries.

“...ps were on that day so we were able to "keep an eye" on that as the television set was in a convenient position. But there were other pictures to see as Freda Shipway had paid a visit to China in January. Her trip had included time in Peking as well as Shanghai so it was all very interesting. This was followed by our Annual Meeting. It was obvious that people preferred two magazines each year so this meant that the C.S.A. subscription would have to be £2.00 annually. There was £48.00 in the "Chefoo" fund and £100.00 had already been given to the two "Chefoos" in Japan and Malaysia. Greetings were brought to us from Canada so through Irene Bouse. Edith(Bruce)Staines had arranged this Reunion so we were very grateful to her and also to Randall and Gill Cousins for their hospitality and preparation for us.
