“...Hallelujah. At any one time more than a third of the world was singing together! New Zealand started the chain with 13 performances involving most of their hospices. Hawaii sang the final performance. What a wonderful event to be part of. The next international Messiah is in 2000 - so now you know - there is no excuse not to join in then
The summer 1998 issue of the Chefoo Magazine will be celebrating 90 years of the Chefoo Schools Association. We want this to be a very special edition and this can only happen if YOU help to make it so. However, there will be a touch of sadness because we will also be marking the closing of Chefoo, Nanae.
A big thank you to all the contributors to this issue. I came back from two weeks soaking up the sun in Tenerife to a mountain of post from all over the world. My new computer and I have been put through our paces and I hope have not been found wanting.
Please may I have copy for the Summer 1998 Magazine by 26 May at the latest. Thank you
God bless you all...”

ELIZABETH [ELSIE] (STEWART) HOUSTON died suddenly on 20 October 1997. The following is an extract of the tribute paid by her Minister at the Thanksgiving Service.
(Elsie’s) own family roots were in the north-east, in the Buchan Peninsular. The journeying which has its origins there, was very much a faith journey. Her parents the Revd John Stewart and her mother, Gladys, responded to the call to mission by moving, in the early days of their own family life, from the relative comforts of the then country market town of Stirling, far away to Mukden, Manchuria in China, where the young Elsie was to go to Chefoo School. There she grew into her inheritance of bright spirit and good humour which shone for all to see throughout...”
