“...details of our buildings and furnishings and cost, our names, ages, addresses and nationalities included in each. Finally we have each been given an arm band to wear when we go out. It has our nationality on it. One day, after filling in a particularly large number of forms all in duplicate, the one who took the prayer meeting gave out 'Count your blessings, name them one by one!’ We have cut down our meat and milk bills by half and dismissed a number of servants. The boys and girls in the other schools set tables and clean rooms. Here the staff do their own chores and spread bread. It is quite a business to clean one’s room before morning school. We are also limited in the number of pieces of bread we eat. The Preps eat 9 a day. At supper they are allowed one piece every 5 minutes and each is very particular that no-one gets over his share. We are having the most interesting meals - ‘Teo-fu’ (bean curd) in huge quantities and peanuts in a number of dishes, one of the most popular being peanut...”

“...to seeing this venture on the road to realisation. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness and concern. Alan and Hetty Dorman WEDDING OF STANLEY HOUGHTON & DOROTHY BENSON ON 16 JANUARY 1930 AT CHEFOO Wedding at St Andrew’s Church The right man and the right bride, the blessing of God, plenty of friends, and sunshine - these are needed for a real marriage, and these were not lacking at the wedding of Mr Stanley Houghton and Miss Dorothy Blanche Benson, both of the China Inland Mission Schools Staff. St Andrew’s Church was full of friends when Mr Bruce escorted the bride to the chancel steps where Mr Houghton was waiting, with Mr LT Lyall, the 'best man’. Miss Benson was dressed delightfully in white Chinese crepe, and wore a charming veil which had been worn by her mother and grandmother before her. Miss Edith Bruce, who acted as bridesmaid, wore light blue silk and carried a bouquet of sweet peas. The Reverend Basil Mather read the service so that we realised that we were met for...”

“...At the end of the service, mr and Mrs Houghton obligingly paused on the steps for various photographers to do their work, and after the ceremony at the British Consulate, motored to the Boys’ School for the reception. There boys and girls from the Schools quietly and effectively waited on the large number of guests who had the pleasure of meeting and congratulating Mr and Mrs Houghton. Mrs Houghton with her husband’s assistance cut the glorious wedding cake: and then Mr Bruce wished them both all good fortune in the name of their many friends. Mr Houghton thanked the friends present for their good wishes and kindness, especially acknowledging the unstinted helpfulness of Mr and Mrs Bruce, and Mr and Mrs Chalkley. He also thanked the bridesmaid who so exactly fulfilled his ideas of what a bridesmaid should be. Mr Lyall speaking as ‘best man’ on behalf of the bridesmaid, in a pleasant speech offered with becoming diffidence to Mr and Mrs Houghton the advice of St Paul, ‘Submitting yourselves...”
