“...hymn tunes. In spite of my puritan upbringing - or perhaps because of it -1 loved especially to watch the Dancing, with the stately whirl of figures gliding round the floor in waltz, quickstep or foxtrot, the throb and beat of the drums and the clever fingers of smiling Percy Gleed - the Camp’s musical wizard - twinkling up and down the piano. Internees from the cities of Peking,Tientsin, Tsingtao and Chefoo had all brought substantial numbers of books with them from the libraries of clubs, schools and colleges or from personal collections. Most of these were pooled and formed an invaluable Camp library. From its shelves I was able to study, and write essays for my tutor on Roman Roads, the character of Shakespeare, mediaeval chivalry, etc. I also read up some ‘liberal’theology and - more as duty than pleasure - ploughed my way steadily through Boswell's Life of Johnson. It kept me occupied through many a morning Roll Call! A mutual interest in books and an appreciation of Scott, Buchan...”

“...where more than half the children live in poverty. Some come here with fresh bullet wounds. “It’s just a different kind of war,” says Previte, who lives in Haddonfield. As a child, Previte and her three siblings were separated from her Methodist missionary parents in China. Japanese soldiers commandeered their boarding school in December 1941 and the next year moved them to a concentration camp. At the time of the Japanese invasion, Mary, then 9, was studying at one of the few English-speaking schools in China, a boarding school for children of American and British missionaries called the Chefoo School in Yantai, Shandong. The school was at a strategic location on the coast, so the Japanese took it over for a military base. At the school with Mary were sister Kathleen, 14, and brothers John, 7, and Jamie, 12. Their parents were working as missionaries in central China while the children were off at school. They were never taken captive. “The Japanese got to us and never got to them,” Previte...”

“...and He has given us joy and fun throughout this year, whether or not these things we enjoy compare with the greatness of the eternal plan, and the power of creation we see around us. Middle School has been vibrating as usual with important after school sports, games, the wins, the losses, and of course, the all-star teams as they play against other schools. Our Middle School boys’ soccer team, with four OMF representatives proceeded to beat every other team without letting them score once. This led to much jubilation on our part. High Schoolers have been busy with the musical to be soon performed ‘The Fiddler on the Roof'with students involved back stage, with the music and on the stage itself. After school sports have also hit the High School with both softball and soccer games being played among teams made up of high schoolers. Many parents have visited recently, including the Curtises, Leightons, Yangs, Trelogans, Dinkins, Wigrams, Seeds, Stretchs and Mclvors who are expected for the...”

“...spent a week in Yunnan in June. Through the Lord’s goodness we were able to spend a few brief hours in the village where I spent my early childhood. We were delighted to find a solid church!

“...servicing OMF Home Departments in their ministry to Chinese immigrants, students and the overseas Chinese churches. Please pray with us for wisdom and strength from Above that His name will be glorified and His kingdom advanced through these strategic means. KATHLEEN THOMPSON (from SU News March 1996) I have been a member of the Scripture Union for 76 years. I joined at the age of 7 years. As a missionaries’ kid, I attended the Chefoo Schools in North China and signed on as a member almost as soon as I committed myself to Jesus Christ. The staff at the schools encouraged us to have a ‘Quiet Time’ each day and so it was easy to keep our promise to read a portion of the Scripture every day. Later on, when I got married, I found my husband was also a member and he took very seriously any vows he made to God. So we read the Scriptures together. I count my vow to read my Bible every day the most important decision I ever made following my conversion. I feel the Word of God is so nourishing that...”

“...reverent pupils. But Guinness's mind was made up. To save time, he resolved he would bypass university and, after a year in business, go straight to the Bible Training Institute (now the Glasgow Bible College). He joined the China Inland Mission (now OMF International) in 1931, sailing from Tilbury on the Yasukumi Masu with 70 new recruits that September. More than 3,000 people packed Westminster Central Hall for their valedictory. His easy, informal manner brought him an immediate welcome in schools, hospitals, prisons and universities. He took local schoolboys away for camps where they discussed questions like “How can I know there is a God?" while learning how to make pinhole cameras and functional, aeroplane propellers. Dangers were real. After preaching in an inn, Guinness overheard a group of brigands laying plans to put him down a well. He was fit, a trained cross-country runner, and sometimes covered 40 miles a day. Aware of the threat of being kidnapped, he had taken stock of the...”

“...OLIVE JOYCE Ruth Mary Olive Joyce was born on 28 March 1904 in Honan, North China, of missionary parents. Hudson Taylor was often received into the home of her parents Francis Stephen and Ruth Hewlett Joyce. She was educated at Chefoo School in Shantung and later at a finishing school in England. During the years 1931-51 Olive served three terms with the CIM largely in Honan and Gansu Provinces in North China doing country and city work as well as Short Term Bible Schools. She worked with women and children and rejoiced to see illiterate women become literate and eager to study God’s word. This was very difficult for them and was often only accomplished through fasting and prayer. In 1951 along with all Western Christian workers she left China. First she returned to England and then in 1958 she came to Canada. She lived in West Vancouver with herthree aunts, Mrs H Beedham and Misses Frances and Jessie Brook, and in 1964 came to Victoria. For several years she was a valuable member of the...”

“...gifted teacher of small children. When war came there was an exciting journey leaving Shanghai, through Canada and on to England where her parents, as other members of the Mission, had already settled in Tunbridge Wells. The house to which she came became her home for nearly 50 years. Here a lot of hospitality was dispensed especially to former schoolmates from various parts of the world. Dorothy cared for her parents until they died in the mid-fifties and at the same time she taught in local schools, for the longest period in charge of a reception class. She continued to inspire and encourage young children. Her Christian faith was strong and she loved to talk about her baptism in the sea at Chefoo emerging from the water with a Chinese woman. When I came to Tunbridge Wells in 1961, it was an added bonus to find Dorothy living on the same road and she became like a sister. Both she and Bea who, when she retired, came to live with Dorothy, took a great interest in all sorts of activities...”
