“...TOURS (The three Bibles taken by the Chefoo Tour groups to give to the libraries of schools in Chefoo were definitely denied and were given to individual Chinese en route. However the beautiful and expensive books with illustrations of North America were politely accepted by a school, a hospital and an embroidery factory in Chefoo). CHEFOO TOUR A September 1-17, 1981 General Conclusions from our Chefoo Tour by Edward Wells (1908-1915) 20 Berkeley Road, Millburn, N.J. 07041, U.S.A. In September 1981, a centennial tour was organized, under the Chefoo Schools Association to revisit Chefoo and, in passing, Tsinan and Tsingtao in Shantung, connected by train service, as well as other major cities, e.g. Peking and Shanghai. We wished to see what landmarks remain, and what changes have occurred since we were children - an average period of 50 to 60 years. There were 44 persons in two groups A and B, on the tour, about 28 former students and the remainder, family members and friends. Chefoo is...”

“...China continues short on balance of foreign trade, unlike Taiwan which has wealth and'exportable goods. It remains to be shown how the position of the Communist economy can be improved in future. Details of Tour by Margaret Wells (1911-17) 1350 - 15th Street 7 Apt.4C, Fort Lee, N.J. 07024 USA. (For the names of those on this Tour see Page 60) I had the great experience of joining a group of alumni of the China Inland Mission Schools which were located 100 years ago in Chefoo, now called Yantai. My brother and I were born in this city, lived there and went to their schools. We travelled with fifteen from Sept. 1, 1981 to Sept.17 from Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China on a private tour especially planned to include Yantai. Our group was made up of Americans and a couple from New Zealand, We were a merry group, wonderful to travel with and we had many a good laugh in our reminiscing. We covered at fast pace Peking(Beijing) Tsinan, Yantai, Tsingtao, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Canton, travelling...”

“...real joy. Excitement was intense as later when we passed by on the bus tour shouts were "stop, stop we want to see more". The tour guide with persuasion then took us on specific drives, to Temple Hill vfrere we had lived, along the bund to Consulate Hill, where the school children of the C.I.M. schools marched to get to English Church. The church was not really identifiable but it was a pleasure to walk up the roads of the hill among houses that had>bfeen home to consuls from all over the world. We were able to recognize the boat house of the Boys School, although that School and the Prep School were missing. We were not permitted to walk on any government property and all the area of the schools were off limit to us.The Temple on top of Temple Hill was well kept as a museum, no longer was it a Taoist Temple, and indeed there were no churches in Chefoo. I saw as I looked along a side street on the way up the hill the Chinese Church that was the Christian Center of the Presbyterian Mission...”

“...5th. We met across the generations. Ninety-two-year-old Dr. Parry cut the magnificent Centennial cake, and twelve year olds fresh home from today's Chefoo School were there to help eat it. We met, some of us, with school-mates not seen for forty years, and how those years rolled away! We met, from many places, including Scotland and Ireland, and some younger ones from holidays in the Orient. We met in singing the old songs, and in seeing the old compound in black-and-white film, and the modern schools in colour. We met a deadline too that day, the dead-line for the Centenary Book, "Pigtails, Petticoats and Old School Tie". As Sheila Miller told us how she wrote the book, and about her many eager contributors, we all felt we 26...”

“...forget. It was a low-water mark(or wasn't it a high-water mark?) in the school's experience. As they spoke, we watched a dejected procession leave the compound for internment. Then we saw joy illumine it as first one voice, and then all, broke into singing. We sang too - the same songs, "God is Our Refuge.", "God is Still on the Throne". In response to a letter from the General Director of the O.M.F. (Jim Taylor of Weihsien), a special challenge went out, to commit ourselves to pray for the schools of today. At the end of the Thanksgiving Service there was another meeting spoken of - a meeting of past, future and present, in the name and character of God. Ebenezer, for the past. "Hitherto has the Lord helped us." Jehovah-Jireh, for the future. "The Lord will provide". And for the present as we go out to our world of need "Jehovah-Nissi. "The Lord my Banner". Mary Weller.

“...prohibited to visitors. The Union Church and St. Andrews Church have disappeared. The visitors stayed at a modern hotel at "Fourth Beach" and were shown around much of modern Yantai with its new boulevards, factories, railway station and many schools. After a semi-Chinese meal (chopsticks for those who knew how), Linton Conway showed films of Cameron Highlands Chefoo, Malaysia. Following this was a programme of audio-visuals, skits and recollections dealing with the beginning of the Chefoo Schools and some of the highlights right down to the present. Rev. John Hewlett, Home Director for O.M.F. in N.Z. spoke on the theme of "Cost" both for missionary parents and children. The occasion was also the launching in N.Z. of Sheila Miller's well told history of the schools, "Pigtails Petticoats and the Old School Tie". Ex-pupils & staff present were: Gordon & May Conway, Linton, Annabell, Scott, Nicholas & Jennifer Conway, Stan Conway, John & Margaret(nee Jackson)Dewdney, 29...”

“...only chopsticks'. Fortunately they were the only ones in the dining room. The Guest House was surrounded by a wall and going out after breakfast they found the front gate open and sauntered down to the beach, and then back again to the mule road. After a while one of the guides caught up to them in great consternation thinking they were lost! David was able to take a composite picture of Chefoo Bay, a copy of which he gave to the C.S.A. 'Archives'. They were taken to different factories and schools and were impressed with the courtesy and friendliness of the people. The most nostalgic moment was when David was able to lean against the wall of the old B.S. Boat House! As a good number present were not familiar with the Chefoo Song "These 70-100 Years", Sandra Grant (Ian's wife) sang several verses and we all joined in the last verse and chorus. The reunion closed with the singing of "Lord of All Power and Might". & & & & & & & & & j’c r? CHEFOO CENTENNIAL DINNER, Toronto, Canada. June 13...”

The next event was the Edinburgh premiere on April 3rd., and Air Canada flew over Eric's 2 daughters for this. Unfortunately Eric's widow was not well enough to go.
