Crawford, who is inS a • sky-pilot", uses it frequently whenever a congregation in any part of his wide teritory sounds a call for speed. Biblican Name The Plane with its gleaming white coat and striking design of a Rising Sun attracts attention wherever it «oes Many a person in isolated towns ha, been surprised as it swooped to earth and shortly thereafter the handle pilot started preaching a sermon without bothering to remove his flying garments. ■Wings of the Morning ’ is the name of this ministerial airplane. “A prettv name, but why was it selected'.’" the United Press correspondent asked. •Read the eighth, ninth and tenth verses of the 139th psalms”. Rev. Crawford said. And. reading, this is what the reporter found: ■ls ] ascend up into Heaven thou art there: if 1 make my bed in hell, behold thou art there. “if I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; “Even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy light hand shall hold me. It was 16 years ago that R. Robert Crawford, then a tall youth of 20, be- | came an ordained minister in his native California. Six years ago, after pondering over the possibility of combining flying wth preaching, he laid aside the broadcloth for a time and took up an aviator's helmet. He enrolled in the School of Aeronautics conducted by the Curtis Southwest Airplane Company of Tulsa, Okla. Dropped Religious Tracts Five months of constant study and work passed before Crawford emerged a full-fledged pilot whose life was ordained to peace and good will. In February, 1920, he flew his first plane a Curtiss Oriole from Tulsa to Portland. This plane was used for several years in dropping tracts and other religious reading matter and for other evangelistic purposes. Finally when a lull in flying interest occurred, it was abandoned —mostly because of the lack of flying fields in this region. But now. with fields dotting Oregon and Washington, the aerial missionary work has been resumed and a new plane purchased. "We are living in a rapid age Crawford told the United Press, "and with so many swift conveyances at the disposal of commerce and pleasure, the Apostolic Faith is thoroughly convinced that the Gospel. ’ above all things, should not take second place in being spread over the land. "Sampson used a jawbone; David n sling, and Jael drove a nail, novel means of accomplishing God's ends, and crude weapons, these, to bear against nation and foe; yet how mighty and effective they were. What great things we moderns should accomplish *ith all that is at our disposal if we b ’ lt use it with the spirit that guided these ancients.”* Crawford is 36 years old. He is married and has one son. CANNING HINTS By Dorothea Muehl, Home Economics Staff. Purdue University.
