ERICKSEN: This is an interview with Jennie Kingston Fitzwilliam by Paul Ericksen for the Missionary Sources Collection of Wheaton College. This interview took place in the offices of the Billy Graham Center Archives on October 31, 1985 at 3:30 pm. Well, the first thing I=d like to do is pick up a few details - dates and what not that we seemed to have skipped over in our previous interviews. First thing, can you tell me the years that you were at Moody? FITZWILLIAM: Let=s see, from 20...22...22 fall of >22 to the fal...till Christmas at...of >25.

And when were you evacuated to Shanghai? FITZWILLIAM: You mean in that first year? ERICKSEN: Yes, from when you were in language school. FITZWILLIAM: Goodness. I couldn=t remember that. ERICKSEN: I don=t need a day.... FITZWILLIAM: I...I think it was...we were there in Yang...Yangzhou the wintertime and it was sort of toward the spring. That is as near as I can remember. ERICKSEN: So would it be 1927? FITZWILLIAM: It=d be 1927, yeah. ERICKSEN: And then, how long were you in Shanghai? FITZWILLIAM: Well, let=s see. We finished out our...my first year in China. My husband came out two weeks later and we were allowed to be married on my first year in China [anniversary]; that was October 18, 1927. Yeah, >27 © 2017. The Billy Graham Center Archives.

FITZWILLIAM: Yes, we were designated ERICKSEN: ...right around the time you were married? FITZWILLIAM: Yes ERICKSEN: Okay. And hat was the name of the village you were stationed in while you were working with the Kachin? FITZWILLIAM: Longchiu ERICKSEN: All right. Now we=re going to skip to after you got back to the United States. After you had been at the CIM youth hostel in Philadelphia, when did you return...when did you come to Wheaton? FITZWILLIAM: Let=s see. I think I was there about a year. I think we had the hostel about a year and then the parents came home. I think I came...I think we came here [Wheaton] to be here for the fall...the September opening of school that...the next year. When would that be? Let=s see. ERICKSEN: You were repatriated in 1943. FITZWILLIAM: 1943. And I think we were in Shangh...Philadelphia probably the whole of 1944. And I think we came out to Wheaton in the fall of 1945. ERICKSEN: Okay. FITZWILLIAM: Maybe it was.... >44? When was peace declared? ERICKSEN: 1945. FITZWILLIAM: I know we got here for the fall...the fall semester because Jack had a [unclear] school. ERICKSEN: Let=s go into a couple of other things.

I was there 1952 to 1957. ERICKSEN: Oh. That doesn=t help. I mean, it helps, but I was thinking it was in the late forties. FITZWILLIAM: No. ERICKSEN: Okay. When FITZWILLIAM: It wasn=t until... ERICKSEN: ...when.... FITZWILLIAM: ...Jack had graduated. ERICKSEN: Yeah. When did you reapply to the mission? FITZWILLIAM: Let=s see. [Pauses] 1950 I did deputation work so it must have been late 1949 ERICKSEN: Okay. [Pauses] FITZWILLIAM: Or 1948, like that. Jack graduated [from college] in 1951 and I was away [pauses] I was away for his senior year, so...doing deputation work... ERICKSEN: Uh huh. FITZWILLIAM: ...so it must have been...it must have been late >49 or early >50. ERICKSEN: Okay. Where were you working while you were here in Wheaton during that period? FITZWILLIAM: At Wheaton College in the accounting department. ERICKSEN: Okay. Well, maybe I can check with them and find out when.... FITZWILLIAM: Yeah. [Unclear] I was...I was away for that year and then I came...as soon as I couldn=t go back to China so I came back to Wheaton College again. Then I was away for Philadelphia and after I had been there for five years I came back to Wheaton College. I always worked in the accounting department.

FITZWILLIAM: No, no, but the mission wanted me to do...to do deputation work for that year before I...well, China was so unsettled they didn=t know whether we could...whether I could go or whether I couldn=t go, so they wanted me to do deputation work for a year until it was a little more clear... ERICKSEN: Yeah. FITZWILLIAM: ...what was going to happen. And then when China definitely closed, I went back to Wheaton College. ERICKSEN: So, did you resign from the mission at any point... FITZWILLIAM: Well, I don=t think... ERICKSEN: ...that you needed to officially reapply? FITZWILLIAM: ...I officially resigned. No, I didn=t need to reapply. ERICKSEN: Oh. FITZWILLIAM: I was always more or less.... ERICKSEN: Like reactivating? FITZWILLIAM: Yeah. ERICKSEN: Okay. Now going to the time when you were at Chefoo School, how long were you under house arrest? FITZWILLIAM: I think it was about a year. Let=s see, war was declared in... ERICKSEN: December 7, 1941 [The actual declaration of war was December 8, 1941]. FITZWILLIAM: ...1941. I think we were about...well, maybe it was nine or ten months, something like that. ERICKSEN: Do you remember when you were transferred to Temple Hill? FITZWILLIAM: I don=t remember the date.

  • Daily Get Alone Time: Eric Liddell's Recommendations Liddell's
    Daily Get Alone Time: Eric Liddell’s recommendations A Disciple desires to meet with God day by day, through good times and bad. Like Jesus, they make it a habit to have get alone time before God. It refreshes them spiritually, so they can refresh others. How to keep the get alone time fresh and meaningful? It’s a struggle. Here’s good guidance from a wise leader. (review this with a Disciple) Eric Liddell was famous as a Olympian, the hero of the movie Chariots of Fire. His memorable saying was, when I run I feel His pleasure. He served as a missionary in China in the 1930s. He was captured by the Japanese and put in a concentration camp. He died there. During internment he wrote a Manual of Christian Discipleship for serious Christians. Here’s his teachings about a daily quiet time. Liddell’s Morning Quiet Time: One way to know God is to spend time with him each day. Set aside a specific time for prayer and Bible study and plan to stick to it... Ask yourself, Have I surrendered this new day to God and will I seek and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout its hours? Wait until you can honestly say, Yes... Here are some suggestions to help you make the most of that time: 1. Be still. God, the source of all truth and love, is here. Take time to realize his presence. Be glad that he speaks when we listen and hears when we pray. Thank him for his Spirit living in us.

  • Eric Liddell's Lasting Olympic Impact on Chinese Culture by Rev Dr Ed & Janice Hird
    Eric Liddell's Lasting Olympic Impact on Chinese Culture By Rev Dr Ed & Janice Hird - published in the July 2019 Light Magazine How often does a Chinese-born missionary to China become the subject of an academy award- winning movie?1 The people of China see Eric Liddell as their first Olympic gold medalist, even recently unveiling a statue of him.2 His daughter Patricia Liddell commented, "My father was multi-faceted, he didn't just appeal to religious people. He was born in China, he worked in China, he died in China. He's their Olympic hero." Duncan Hamilton poignantly commented, “In Chinese eyes, he is a true son of their country; he belongs to no one else.”3 In Chariots of Fire, he is shown running for the glory of God in the 1924 Olympics.4 Eric commented, “I never prayed that I would win a race. I have of course prayed about the athletic meetings, asking that in this too, God might be glorified.”5 A leading sports reporter summed him up as ‘probably the most illustrious type of muscular Christianity ever known.’6 Nicknamed the flying Scotsman, he famously said: “God made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure.”7 When asked how he ran so quickly, he often said that he ran as fast as he could for the first half of a race, and then asked God to help him run even faster for the second half.8 Eric won so much gold and silver that his mother hid his trophies under her bed at night, in case of burglary.9 Missionary families often make great sacrifices for the sake of the lost.

  • The Historical Context
    CHAPTER ONE THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT Introduction The Historically Documented Context of the Informants' Stories The China Inland Mission (CIM) The China Inland Mission Schools Chefoo 1931 - 1940 CIM January, 1940 - July, 1940 CIM October, 1940 - December, 1941 Chefoo 1941 - 1942 Evacuation of Chefoo Formation of Weihsien Internment Camp Education at Weihsien Chefoo Transfer Repatriation and Internment Chefoo in Weihsien Seasons of trials Liberation Day Issues of Personal Reality and Official History Summary THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT Introduction This chapter describes the setting in which the stories of the informants' lives took place. The historical context for this study is North China during the Second World War. It was at this time that the China Inland Mission Schools (Chefoo), a British school for children of Western missionaries and other expatriates, came under Japanese-occupation, and was eventually relocated to a civilian assembly center. (1) These actions of occupation and internment were the external threats to the school's continuity. The war and its outcome meant the end of the British colonial lifestyle in which this school had been established and had existed for sixty-two years. Subtle yet even more damaging threats came from within the internment camp as the once secluded school was suddenly thrust into close contact with people of various backgrounds and beliefs. The purpose of this study will be to analyze how teachers and students responded to these challenges in order to convey and maintain the ethos of their school and culture. 1 Through the use of primary and secondary sources, a panorama of the events that affected their youth is presented.

  • RUNNING the RACE’ ‘ERIC LIDDELL-OLYMPIC CHAMPION/MISSIONARY’ by John W
    ‘RUNNING THE RACE’ ‘ERIC LIDDELL-OLYMPIC CHAMPION/MISSIONARY’ By John W. Keddie A Review John Keddie has succeeded in producing a wonderfully interesting and engaging account of the ‘Eric Liddell story’ in this newly updated version of his book which was originally published in 2007. Although primarily a sporting biography, that aspect is complemented with significant material on his Christian faith and missionary work in China. It therefore reflects the intertwining nature of Liddell’s life while emphasising that his overarching faith underpinned and permeated everything and provides the key to understanding him. The content is presented in eminently readable fashion and will offer much to those already broadly familiar with the Olympic champion’s life as well as to those with merely a passing acquaintanceship. Keddie as a former athlete, rugby player and churchman who assisted with the screenplay for ‘Chariots of Fire,’ is ideally suited to the task. The film of course resulted in Liddell’s ‘story’ receiving worldwide attention and with certain licence detailed his Olympic success founded on his adherence to his Christian principle of not competing on a Sunday before thereafter devoting his life to the service of God. Several factors struck me particularly on reading the book. His sporting success was achieved when he was very young, capped by Scotland at rugby weeks before his 20th birthday and Olympic gold medallist at age 22.
