Anyone who attended school in Chefoo, especially those who were interned in Weihsien, know who Jim Moore is. Former Chefoo student, he later joined the War effort with the US Navy, and in 1945 he was selected to join the small band of parachutists assigned to jump from 500 feet into a field beside the internment camp in Weihsien to officially liberate the 2,000 people who had...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine Page 2 EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK From where I sit, the past year has been both exciting and disappointing as far as the Chefoo Schools Association is concerned. On the brighter side I feel very much the hub of the Association as I receive communications almost daily, from Chefusians all over the globe, primarily by email, but also by regular mail. The constant theme is gratitude for all the “work" I am doing on behalf of the Chefusians. It is truly gratifying to be constantly thanked for having fun! A second highlight has been the increase in the number of dues paying members, as a fairly significant number of old scholars have come on board, especially the Ku I i ng contingent, many of who are now reaching the age where it is as interesting to look back as looking to the future. To a large extent the growth has been through 'word of mouth’. Special credit is due to Marjorie (Butler) Reeble in Australia, who is doing a superb job of contacting Chefusians, organizing reunions...”

Alvyn Austin, Toronto Thank you for the new Chefoo magazine. It is wonderful. I like the letters to the editor, particularly the sweet letter from Vera (Tyler). You must feel pleased that you have created something worthwhile and enduring. Congratulations. Thank you for publishing my article, even if you did find it a wee bit irreverent. The reader for my book called me an amiable eccentric. I just reread it for the first time, and I guess I can see what you mean. Moses Chu, Tempe, Arizona I am privileged to be an associate member of the Chefoo School Association. For the past several years I have learned very much by reading your magazine. I hope it continues to prosper and be supported now by people who love to be a member though they never had the privilege to be educated in the CIM School. Faith...”

“...had so many struggles and problems and could make 'mistakes' or misjudgment's Hudson Taylor was not whitewashed. Frank Moore, Shaanxi, China My heartiest congratulations to you on the 2004 edition of Chefoo Magazine. You have, I think, rescued the entire organization from a slow and sentimental passing away. By shifting the focus of the magazine to an exploration of the pastas opposed to a retelling of the past, you have revived us. Good on yer, mate! You've done us all a great service. Jim Moore, Dallas John Robinson’s article on spending the Christmas Holidays at school in 1935 brought back pleasant memories. There were 8 to 10 boys who were unable to secure adequate transportation home and remained in the dorm. I was a day student and my home in the Baptist compound across from the Chefoo Club tennis courts was only a couple of blocks from the school. I don’t remember whether I was invited or simply showed up but every morning about ten I would climb the stone wall at the southeast corner...”

“...as those who have no hope.* Lost Friends If you have a friend from Chefoo Schools who you have lost track of, and are wondering where they might be, please contact the Editor, and maybe we can help. We have had half a dozen such requests over the past year, all by email, and this has proven successful. The person in question may have died, but at least the inquirer has an answer. If you don’t have access to email, don’t let that deter you. Just send a note by mail (address on back cover), and it will be posted on the email network. If an answer arrives, you will receive a reply by regular mail. If this does not work, your query will appear here in the Magazine. Wha t wa s your num b er?

“...celebration. And we could stay in all the homes of those who had prayed us out of prison. After a complete New Year’s thanksgiving in the bosom of our new Christian family for three days, we were taken back to the ship to land properly. The Red Cross met us and drove us to the CIM headquarters in Vancouver, and kindly outfitted us with warm winter clothes. Then we boarded the train for Toronto.* TRIP PLANNED TO VISIT KULING IN 2006 OR 2007 Organized by the Kuling American School Association The Kuling American School Association is organizing a trip to China that will feature Kuling. It is tentatively scheduled for either October 2006 or the Spring of 2007. They have very graciously invited Kuling CIM school alumni to join them. The general plan is to spend about seven days at Kuling, then people can break into groups, as they choose, to visit other parts of China. The overall time frame is one month, but people can choose to be in China for longer or shorter periods of time. Spearheading this trip...”

He did raise the money, and he got a church to furnish him with a car, which was unique in Chefoo - I don’t know that there were four or five of them. We did not get back to Chefoo until 1929, so we were in the States for three years. When we got back to Chefoo I enrolled again in the elementary school and then when I finished that I moved over to the Boys School. My parents, I think very rightly, figured this would be a good time for me to be a boarding student. I guess a 9 or 10 year old would need a little discipline and trainingthat we would get at the school that we wouldn’t get at home. I was the one who was athletic in the family. My sister Martha Jane was the 'A' student. She had the brains in the family and I made out on my athletic ability. When I moved to the Boys School there was some competition between the houses to get...”

“...there was no way that I had fouled anybody. So he came to my defense. He was a dear sweet man. I didn’t have any courses with him but everyone who did, liked him. He was typical of the professors there. KG: In 1936you left Chefoo In 1936 we were due home for furlough. We came back to the States and I enrolled at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. I had a choice of two schools, Hardin-Simmons or Baylor, where I wouldn’t have to pay any tuition as a missionary kid, and even some help in room and board if I needed it. These were Southern Baptist schools. My sister and I started there. My Dad had been havingsome problems that he thought were hemorrhoids. When he finally went to see a doctor it I can’t believe how my parents were so free with me. I wandered around Chefoo. They had a little museum that I enjoyed going to that had a two-headed baby in a glass, things like that. was diagnosed as cancer. So he hungon for about a year and a half and he died in 1938.

“...The Chefoo Magazine Page 10 (Jim Moore Profile, continuing from previous page) KG: Jim, as I listen to you I am making an assumption, and it guess I need you to clarify. When you are telling me all these things I am assuming that you learned Chinese. Good point. And I mentioned what a great value my China background had, at the Chefoo School. I did learn Mandarin to some extent. After college I applied to various agencies in Washington, and planned to go to law school. I put my application in to about five government agencies - Commerce, and Agriculture and what not, and one of them was the Department of Justice, and the FBI. The FBI was looking for people to be clerks, but they were interested in my China background, and they asked if I spoke Mandarin, and I said, well, a little bit, which was probably pushing it somewhat because I was far from expert, but anyhow, I got in with them, and went to night law school. This was about 1941 and the war had broken out, you know, and the FBI had...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2005 Page 11 ARDUOUS DEPARTURE CLOSING THE CHEFOO SCHOOL IN KULING, WINTER 1950-51 Excerpt from Dorothy Bell’s privately published autobiography, NANNIE’S STORY, IN WEAKNESS, STRENGTH Late in 1951 Dorothy and George Bell traveled from their mission station in Kansu province to the Chefoo School at Kuling to visit with their three youngest children, Alfred, Grace, and Stephen. At the time they did not know that they would not be able to return to Kansu, and that their journey to Kuling, the mountain resort at Lushan, proved to be only a stop in their final trip home to Canada, having served with the China Inland Mission since the early 1920’s. Here is Dorothy’s account of the final closing of the Chefoo school in China. Mr. Crook soon hired men and sedan chairs to take us up the mountain to Kuling. By that time George and I were very excited. We had hardly dared think about meeting the children when there were so many hindrances en route, but then it did seem as though...”

The staff wanted the children to have a happy Christmas with nothing to mar their pleasure. That is just what God gave them. Carol singing, a Christmas eve party, Christmas day with its presents, its goodies at meals, how good it was! Everyone worshipped the Lord who had been born so long ago in Bethlehem. The program in the afternoon when so many took part, the final giving out of gifts, made the children wild with excitement. What a treat to see the carefree enjoyment of all those youngsters. Behind the fun was a feeling of oppression for the adults. We thought of the future and all it might hold. We knew we could leave it with the Lord. He would undertake. But how difficult would it be? What would happen when exit permits for the whole group were requested? In the night we were a little apprehensive. We had seen...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2005 Page 13 Kaitingto Kalimpong, 1943 Two Recollections Vera Tyler, from the C IM home in Kunming The evacuation (of CIM missionaries from China in the advance of Japanese troops) spread so that we had a continuous stream of guests, and (husband) Bill was kept busy getting flights forthem out of China. One Christmas, we had 125 with us including the school children and their teachers from the temporary school in West China. We waited all Christmas day for them and wondered what had happened, but they finally arrived about 4.30 AM with a great story of God’s protection. They had got as far as Chengtu airbase in Szechuan and found some problem that kept them grounded, so the flyers had the fun of having the children there for Christmas dinner. Because they couldn’t fit the children with parachutes, they refused to take them. When they finally got down near Kunming we were having an air raid so they couldn’t land, and flew on hoping to find another airstrip further inland...”

At night when you are alone as a family?" “What do you plan to be when you grow up? Do you want to go to America?" “What are the names of some of the Chinese friends of your father and mother?" There were times when the children said things we would have liked to say to our rulers. “What are you doing these days?" “Waitingfor you to give us permission to leave," one small girl replied. “What are you doing while you wait?" “We go for walks to Lion’s Leap, the Three Sisters, Monkey’s Ridge." However do you translate the nicknames the children were given to their favorite spots? “What else do you do" “I’ve just read The Woman in White, and Blind Fafferty." Again it taxed my ingenuity to translate the names of the novels into Chinese. I did the best I could with a quick prayer...”

His grandmother taught at the Chefoo School, and his mother attended there. Luther enrolled in 1935, just before his 7th birthday, and his brother Calvin enrolled a year later. Luther was interned in 1942, but was repatriated in August of that year. He says that his Grandma Wight was known to the Boys’ School as Old Turkey Hen, a name she apparently approved of. About 70 Mayors from all over the world attended a “World Environment Day” convention at San Francisco in June 2005. At this meeting Mount Lushan was awarded "PROMINENT ECO-TOURISM SCENERY" by the Vice Secretary-General. Lushan now has three world crowns from the United Nations: . World Culture Landscape Heritage, . World Geo Park, and . Prominent Eco- Tourism Scenery. One day for a great treat we hired a sampan and sculled to Pebble Beach, so...”

When the 440 was run, much to my surprise I easily overtook the second place runner but was content to plod along behind the front runner until an anonymous voice from the sidelines urged me by name to “step on it". Fearingthat the runner I’d just passed had received his second wind, I stepped on it and won the race. It was my only first in 8 years of school running and I was quite proud of it because the 440 is such a taxing sprint. The summer holidays lasted the whole month of August. One summer Mum and Dad were on furlough and another time the Japanese attack on China prevented us from returning to Hong Kong. On these summers we stayed with Grandma (in Chefoo). As a gift, she had bought us membership in the Chefoo Yacht Club, so we spent all day every day in the water. Mum said the sun was good vitamin D & C so by the end of the summer we were dark brown. Today I’m paying for the false science of...”

There was a huge pile of it as we had permission to take with us the baggage of the children who had returned home for the holidays. It was taken to an unoccupied compound. The boxes and trunks were lined up on a long porch for the examination that took three days. Atnightthe compound was left unguarded. A couple of men from the school were always with the boxes and at night George and Alfred took plenty of bedding and a lunch with a thermos of something hot and slept on the boxes. When the officers left the courtyard they unscrewed the light bulbs and took them away but George took a couple down from the school so he and Alfred could read during...”

Ta ylor III This past February 21st marked the 60th anniversary of the passing of Olympic champion, Eric Liddell, at Weihsien internment camp. Like so many who knew him at Weihsien, Jim acknowledges the great impact Eric had on his life.
