“...2 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 Editor’s FINAL notebook We can all attest to the fact that our universe, our world, our nations, our institutions, and each of us as individuals are constantly changing. The last Chefusian to enrol in the Chefoo School in China took place in the Fall of 1950. In June 2001 the last Chefoo School in Malaysia closed its doors for the last time. With this issue the Chefoo Magazine is being published for the last time. In a few more years any person who attended the Chefoo School in China will cease to exist. Our teachers and caregivers have already preceded us. I often remind myself that this summer I turn 78 years of age, and I am one of the youngest Chefusians from the China era. We've had a good run, and for a brief time at least, our 110-year-old alumni association will carry on. In the 2017 magazine I informed readers that the 2018 issue would be my last. I also said that because it was not likely that any other Chefusian would, at this stage of our collective lives...”

“...4 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 Letters and News Sam Arendt, Perth, Ontario Here are some corrections in connection with my article in the Chefoo Magazine last year. The Liebenzell Mission had no connection with brethren assemblies and my father knew nothing about them when he went to China. The book room my father operated was an outlet of the Christian Book Room of Shanghai, started by Mr. G C Willis, who was mainly in printing to supply all missions with gospel tracts, posters and booklets. If you have Dr. Nelson Bell's biography, he mentions Mr. Willis as his source of Gospel literature. The Christian Book Room moved to Hong Kong after the war. His daughter sold it to an Australian, when she retired. The man who bought it was the one who got arrested in North Korea about a year ago. Mr. Willis was in some ways my spiritual father. He authored some English books that are still in print. One is "To the Parents of My Grandchildren". Since writing my book I found out that the Mrs. Baller of Chefoo...”

“...5 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 dress is doable. Think of all the joy he is bringing to places like Luseland." My email set off a barrage of counter emails from my former Three Hills cohorts, and one of the most interesting was from Blake Bromley who has had a long history in Vancouver as a lawyer specializing in Charities law. (read the 2017 Chefoo Magazine for a report on his influence in charitable legislation in China). Blake's email said: "I set up Jimmy Pattison's charitable foundation so when these emails started I dropped him a note about the interaction among MK's generated by his Luseland exhibit. He was travelling, but his Executive Assistant responded asking me whether I had missed attaching the photo (Blake forwarded it soon after when he received from me the photo shown here). His daughter now runs the foundation and her response to me supported that they were pleased to hear the anecdote about Aunt Frieda.' A fascinating story, to be sure."

This in itself is useful information (see page 9 for an overview of Chefoo School and C.S.A. archival information available worldwide.) After Singapore we flew to Sydney, Australia. Again, we did a few of the normal tourist things, but a highlight was a visit with Chefusian David Simpkin, thanks to the kind assistance of With David, and his daughter Joy—the 3 TCKs, as OMF calls us. his MK daughter, Joy Lankshear. David and his wife live together in a nursing home. They had been medical missionaries in South Thailand with OMF. While we were warned that David usually doesn't talk very much, we were pleased to spend a couple of hours with him, including lunch together. David was very willing to talk of Kuling, and also of his medical experiences in Thailand as a physician. Following Sydney we flew to Adelaide and spent several days with Ruth Grant, who was in my class at Kuling...”

“...11 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 The Delegates Representing the Chefoo Schools Association Keith Butler Keith was born in Guiyang, Guizhou in 1934, where his parents were missionaries with the China Inland Mission. His family was from Australia, although his mother had been born in China to parents who were also missionaries in Guizhou. During the Sino-Japan War Keith's family stayed in 'Free China' until the end of 1944, as the Japanese had not taken Guizhou Province. But the family was then evacuated to India, then moved on to Australia, their home country. The family returned to China in 1947, and Keith and his two sisters attended the Chefoo School, first in Shanghai, then in Lushan, Jiangxi from 1947 - 51. Keith returned to Australia where he completed his secondary education, followed by university studies in Melbourne, specializing in architecture. He spent a career designing churches throughout Australia. He married a teacher and has three daughters. He and his wife moved to a retirement...”

In due course Chen Haitao, who was authorized to translate Gordon Martin's Chefoo School, 1881 to 1951, will no doubt translate this entire issue in Chinese.

“...14 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 Speech by Ian Grant, Chefoo Schools Association Vice-Mayor Zhang Bo and honored guests, M r|Jfx, S-'fji.JfeA?, I bring greetings from the many members of the Chefoo Schools Association. We are the alumni of the Chefoo School. More than 2000 students attended the school here in Yantai from the time it was established in 1881 until the school was interned at Weifang by the Japanese in 1943. After the War the school was re-established in Shanghai, and then at Lushan, Jiangxi. There were several small Chefoo Schools in East Asia following our days in China, the most prominent being in Malaysia, which was closed in 2001. However, the Chefoo Schools Association, made up of alumni of the schools, and the annual Chefoo Magazine, of which I am editor, have both been operating continuously for 110 years.

“...15 Chefoo Magazine, 2018 Most of these missionaries, and certainly my own parents genuinely liked the Chinese people they worked among. Our delegation here today, five of whom are children of those missionaries, grew up to share our parents respect and fondness for China. This was engrained in us as children and has remained in us all our lives. Each of us was born in China, and I am very proud that I was born right here in Yantai. AA. AfiWAAMAAAH, AHAAfflA, a-aa Because the missionaries of the China Inland Mission were spread across China, some in quite remote places, the best model for an educational experience for their children was a centralized boarding school where the children lived and attended school in one place and visited their parents once a year if possible. They chose Yantai, or Chefoo as it was called then, to be the location of this school because of the climate and its beauty beside the sea. The Japanese moved the Chefoo School in September 1942 to crowded quarters on...”

“...my warm welcome and compliments to all the delegates from the Chefoo Schools Association, to everybody attending this event, as well as every friend from the media! In the year of 1879, Mr. James Hudson Taylor chose Yantai and established China Inland Mission School, which was named Chefoo School in 1881. This school with beautiful seaside location has been known as "the best school east of Suez Canal", just because of its typical British curriculum under strict administration. Chefoo School has created indelible history with its unique and legendary experiences together with the proud school tradition during its development process in Yantai, in China, and even in the other parts of the world. 1879^.
