“..."Old Chefusian." Jim, as he is known to so many of his Chefoo friends, attended the Chefoo Schools from 1936-45 at Chefoo (Yantai) and under internment in the Temple Hill and Weihsien Camps. While he himself is also a second generation Chefusian, since his father, James H. Taylor II, also went to Chefoo [1900-10], his Chefoo School roots go still much deeper — indeed, for four generations of Chefoo involvement back to the origins of the Schools. It was Jim’s greatgrandfather, James Hudson Taylor I, the founder of the China Inland Mission, who started the Schools on a visit to Chefoo back in 1879. Further, Jim's grandfather, Herbert Taylor, was only the second teaching master to join the new "Chefoo School" in the first year of its operation as the co-ed Protestant Collegiate School in 1881. But Dr. Taylor's interest in the Association also looks to the future; his personal and frequent visits, simply as "Uncle Jim," to the present Chefoo Schools and OMF hostels are well known and remembered...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1987 CHEFOO — A FOUNDATION Chefoo A sanctuary A paradise A world within a world A place A school. Chefoo was to me A bit of everything All tied up in one neat package In a small green valley Of Malaysia. Laughter mixed with tears And triumphs with failures These all made Chefoo What it was — a home Away from home. Chefoo was security And friends And life itself When my childish mind Could not stretch beyond That tiny valley. There I discovered music And harmony as many children Tried to live together With the minimum supervision. There I learnt to love The beauty of nature That surrounded me In the midst of the jungle. There I learnt some important lessons That have helped me In the years since. Chefoo was The foundation of my life. It is a memory I never want to forget. — Ruth Dykema [77-83] 3...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine IT© IL2TSPIL® ®w June 1987 UO4 Almost 100 years have now passed since the founding of the China Inland Mission Preparatory School in 1895. Under the hand of God, that Chefoo "Lower" School still flourishes today in two locations: Chefoo School in Nanae and Chefoo School in the Cameron Highlands. Many Chefusians who attended Chefoo School before the age of 12 remark on how special that period of schooling was and often readily recall the particular joy of those early Chefoo years. For many of them, again, and especially for today's Chefoo graduates, the total Chefoo School experience has been contained in the years before their teens. The longstanding and ongoing commitment of the China Inland Mission and now the Overseas Missionary Fellowship to provide loving nurture and schooling, these past 93 years, to the "little ones" of the Mission and of many others through the Mission's own junior Chefoo School(s) is unique. The persevering love and dedication of the Chefoo staff...”

“...which often literally fell to pieces under one's hands! This was a severe discipline for me, but among other things which I learnt from it was the power to get music out of all kinds of uncongenial circumstances — no small gain. The school grew in numbers both of teachers and pupils, and we had some very happy years at Tungshin before it was decided to move back to East Beach. Then I spent two years in England in training, as I hoped, for work in the interior. However, I was asked to return to Chefoo, for a while at least, as teachers were needed. My own experience as a child made me feel that it would be a privilege if I could help to spare other families the experience through which mine had passed. Besides, 5...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1987 Chefoo was like home to me, and I loved teaching, so I did not consider it a cross to give up hopes of Chinese work. Looking back over all these years of connection with Chefoo, I pray with all my heart that its future may be worthy of its past. Reprinted from: Stanley Houghton, Edith B. Harman, and Margaret Pyle, Chefoo (London: The China Inland Mission, 1931) "Duty-Day" in the 1930s Kathie Judd (Mrs Leslie Lyall) [1915-21; Prep Staff 1932-33] Do you know where and what the Prep School is? The C.I.M. has three schools at this healthy north sea port of Chefoo, not for Chinese, but for the children of its own and some other missionaries, and when school is in session the Compound is a busy place with its nearly 250 boys and girls of ages 6 to 17, together with the necessary staff of teachers as well as of Chinese servants. In the Prep' we have all the 'tinies,' boys and girls from 6-10 years of age. Don't you long to come and 'mother' them? Have you a heart...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1987 one Sunday recently I had a Very tiny' one near me and as Luke 2 was read, his lips moved in perfect unison and I got a beaming smile of triumph from him. But quiet time' over, a long crocodile of Prepites winds down the corridors to breakfast. Do you know the early morning feeling of walking on air' and brimming over with life? If you do, you'll understand what real self-control a Prepite exerts to walk in line to breakfast and the need to encourage that self-control. Breakfast over, there comes nearly an hour of 'odds and ends’; dispensary-children sometimes have to be rounded up to go to nurse; boys and girls in turn are summoned for daily inspection by the wardrobe-keeper, and there are all the other jobs necessary at the beginning of the day for the smooth running of the rest of it. Then the prayers bell' goes and all the children are seated in their places in the big schoolroom, Bibles and hymnbooks in hand. The Principal comes in to take morning prayers...”

“... for wisdom, for love and understanding, for strength and for sternness. And it is only when the day ends with the feeling that "the government has been upon His shoulders" that I feel I have anywhere near done my duty. Reprinted from: China's Millions (April 1933) "Dorm Aunty" in the 1970s Em Stewart [Staff 1973-86] My offer to help at Chefoo was accepted! Within weeks I had left my job and my dear little apartment, and arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the day before my re-entry visa expired! John Miller, our headmaster and leader, was in Kuala Lumpur to welcome me and to assure me of how he believed God was fitting me into His place for me at Chefoo. The last few weeks at the school before the new term began were filled with questioning, observing, preparing, wondering and even trembling at the new phase of missionary life I'd launched upon. My first assignment was to be dormitory aunty to eleven little girls. 8...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine June 1987 Ina MacLachlan with mixed feelings introduced me to each one returning, through their family pictures and little piles of toys and clothes laid out on beds while the dorm was being thoroughly house-cleaned. Six were coming for the first time. As preparations proceeded and arrival dates approached, 1 found myself panicking, wondering how I would handle so many bright little girls all at once. What if they didn't like me? How would I comfort them when they were homesick? As I posted names on beds, I prayed for guidance in the serious question of who should sleep next to whom. Well, the midnight arrival of the first group of children from Thailand was really a thrill. One little girl tumbled out of the taxi clutching the welcome card 1 had sent her. They were soon bathed and fast asleep in their beds. That night began a wonderful vigil over my little girls in dorm seven. Do you realise that the children are at school with us more weeks of the year than they are...”

“...for the children they are mutually concerned about. Being a dorm aunty at Chefoo has been an enriching time in my own spiritual life. I've learned and am learning from the Word and from my fellow staff members, as well as from the children. Adapted with permission: East Asta Millions (Dec. 1977/Jan. 1978) WTO TO W The following list of staff of the present Chefoo Schools, back to their founding as the "Prep" in 1895, bears more than mere names. It presents a concrete reminder that those who gave and still give some of the best years of their lives to the "little ones" of Chefoo will always be remembered with affection and esteem. For most of us Chefusians, we cherish the memories of Chefoo as our first school and are deeply grateful to the China Inland Mission and Overseas Missionary Fellowship for having provided Chefoo School for us as our home away from home. We especially give thanks to God for you, our Chefoo School "parents" and teachers, for your love and sacrifice on our behalf during...”
