“...THREE GENERATIONS James Hudson Taylor, III, IV and V, at the baby’s dedication at the Chinese Bible Church of Greater Boston, where JHT IV is associate pastor. A church packed with Chinese and Chinese-Americans witnessed the dedication as James Hudson Taylor III read the vows to his son. JHT III, known as Jamie Taylor in his Chefoo School days, is the great grandson of J Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission and the Chefoo Schools. He and his wife, Leone, serve God and the Chinese people from their home base in Hong Kong.

“...INEZ GRIFFITHS (DAVIDSON) (1920-26) I was very pleased to get the Summer Chefoo Magazine and receive news of the schools up to date. We still live in Kingston (after 47 years!) and we like it here in spite of many changes. My husband, Eric, still has some musical ploys, the chief one being the Council for Music in Hospitals. It entails accompanying singers and instrumentalists in iive concerts in hospitals including Mental Institutions and Children’s Wards. He sees many harrowing sights but feels it is worthwhile work. Now both in our 80’s, we don’t travel very far afield, but we are blessed with good health and have much to be thankful for. I have wonderful memories of the years at Chefoo - 2 years in the Prep School and 4 years in the Girls’ School. GENE JOHN (SINTON) (1924-33) After 46 years in 2 and 20 Chessel Avenue, Bitterne Alan and I have moved half a mile to a modernised cottage - built originally 150 years ago.

“...are in the grounds of Cornford House, the Residential and Nursing Home where Margaret worked for 27 years so it is rather like coming home. Bernard and Jean Welch are in charge here and we are surrounded by old friends, many of whom were Chefusians. We have so much to thank the Lord for. PRESENT DAY CHEFOO Educating MKs On the primary level, OMF’s own Chefoo Schools in Malaysia and Japan have been, and continue to be the basic educational provision for all our OMF children throughout East Asia. However, with an increasing number of Christian schools opening inAsia, OMFers have been able to send their children to more local schools. Chiang Mai Interna-page 24...”

“...iional School in I hailand, Faith Academy in the Philippines and Morrison Academy in Taiwan are examples of such schools. Other options for primary education include local home schools or home schooling. Although there can be successful alternatives, OMF does not usually recommend either, because of the difficulties they can cause for children at a later stage. For secondary education, Faith Academy (Philippines) and Hebron School (South India) are the official provision for MKs from the UK. Faith Academy is an international school which operates on the American system. However, Faith also offers an IGCSE programme, which is geared towards UK and Commonwealth pupils. Hebron School works within an English curriculum and offers course up to A level. Oct-Dec 1993 East Asia Millions CHEFOO MALAYSIA Our God is from everlasting to everlasting and unchanging.

“...ating students. All had the joy of having one or both of their parents for the occasions. They will be continuing their education at schools in four different countries. Travel We are always thankful for the Lord's protection and financial provision for our children as they travel, particularly as they make the long journey to and from school. In June we implemented new travel arrangements. Instead of hiring a fleet of taxis, a coach was chartered from a local tour company. Along with the use of one taxi and a Chefoo minibus, all the children were transported to the airport at Kuala Lumpur before flying home to be re-united with their parents. The trial run was successful, so this will be the norma! means for Chefoo travel. Opportunities for Involvement in the Local Community Children from Levels 3-6 appreciated the opportunity to play a major part in the programme of Easter outreach meeting, initiated by Rev Stephen. This was held at Mount Vernon, one of the local holiday bungalows. Their...”

“...stabilising around 35 pupils. We can therefore be confident that he will provide the staff to care for, and teach these children. Currently there are people expressing interest in some of these vacancies. Pray that the Lord will confirm whether or not Chefoo is the right place for them. Dave Matson CHEFOO NANAE, JAPAN It's a real privilege and joy to be back here at Chefoo School after time in England on Home Assignment. With an increasing number of families working in cities with international schools and others, especially Asian families, opting for Japanese local schooling, it looked as if our numbers this term would drop to an all-time low. So we were very thankful for the 5 new entries (4 of them from outside OMF). Three more are essential during the school year. The fact that 2 of them speak only a little English and the other 3 knew none at all, has certainly brought challenges to both children and staff! Yet we’re very thankful for the way they’ve begun to settle in and the progress...”

“...guage, after their mother tongue and Japanese! As well as becoming increasingly international within the school, we’ve also had more and more opportunities in recent years, for joining in activities with local schools and other groups. These have varied from attending excellent concerts and plays at local Japanese schools, and joint games with the local school for the mentally handicapped, to our own Sports Day, when the local children look forward to joining in the teams with the Chefoo children. Local volunteers come in to help on brush writing and traditional Japanese crafts and even to help in science lessons. Incidentally, despite our efforts to be involved in the life of the Japanese community around us, our youngest boarder, a first grade Korean boy, when talking about going home to Tokyo for the holiday, was heard to remark, “When I go back to Japan......”!! One particularly welcome opportunity for involvement in the Japanese community around us has come through the setting up of...”

“...us was the living proof to the contrary! That night we hired a taxi and went down the back streets of the city, armed with an address on a scrap of paper, and there before us was our old friend and his tiny wife, both in their seventies. As we got talking, which was difficult because they had no English, we discovered that, unbeknown to us, during the war years he had become Dad’s assistant, and for three years they had travelled together, cycling over damaged roads, holding Short term Bible Schools in a circuit of five towns. We even had with us a hand-drawn map of mother’s, showing the pentagon of towns with no names, and he was able to fill in the names for us! page 43...”

“...journeys by junk or raft, and of Dr King’s tragic drowning in a whirlpool. Dr Funnell sang in Mandarin, ‘There'll be no sorrow there In my Father's house....’ a chorus we learned, in English, at Chefoo C.S.S.M. 1926. It was a joyful prospect to consider. Apparently camphor was recommended a a cure for cholera in China then! The slides began with photos of Hudson Taylor, then of Maria, the Cambridge Seven. Bishop Cassell, Victor Funnell’s parents, missionaries in Chinese clothes, and pictures of the schools in Chefoo.

“...Scottish branch of the Chefoo Schools Association and worked very hard for the Eric Liddell Memorial Trust. Those of us who knew Jenny in her retirement years will always remember her as a true and loyal friend with tremendous faith in her Christian principles and a great zest for living. She had an amusing and kindly sense of humour, maintained her interest in sport, her love of China and the Chinese people and was always prepared to meet and help Chinese who passed through Edinburgh, both old and new friends. She was an excellent speaker and had a genuine interest in the human race. Always a sparkle in her eye and an inborn kindness and gentleness which will long be remembered. Her home was always open to her family and friends and though she may have been old in years she was young in heart and her mind clear as a bell. She died peacefully in her sleep on 8 June 1994.
