Some forty years ago. an impulsive,
active, merry lad by the name OF Dan
Crawford was growing up in Green
ock, Scotland. a leader in all the
boyish sports of the town but making
time somehow to learn many passages
from the poets and to commit page
after page of Macauley. AS this boy
came to manhood he studied law FOR
three years and was about to enter
the legal profession when a new in
fIuence enriched and deepened his
life. This compelling personality was
meme other than Professor Henry
Drunmond, then giving his illumInat-
ing lectures at the universities OF
Scotland. His call to service met a
quick response in Dan Crawford. In
company with other young men he
formed the West End Christian Tn.
ion" in his town and held meetings up
and down Scotland, kindling a new
fire in the sedate religious obserV-
ances then popular.
Although brought up a thorough
going Presbyterian. Crawford's Bible
studies brought him into sympathy
with the Baptist position and his per
sonal relationships led him into close
touch with the famous George. Null
Ter of Bristol No doubt the Muller
doctrine OF dependence on God rather
than on human instruments was re-
sponsible for Crawford's decision to
60 out to Africa with the backing of
no society behind him, and is the rea-
son why he has for overptwenty years
depended upon what might come to
him in providential ways for support
At the time of his conversion the
way was opened for a university
course at Cambridge. and to man Of
his scholarly tastes and capacities
this was a most tempting opportunity.
A predisposition to tuberculosis seem
ed likely to develop, however, and
It became necessary for him to leave
Scotland. Most OPPORTUNITY he was
enabled to join small party starting
out under the leadership of F. s. Ar
not for missionary work in Africa.
With them Crawford left London in
1889 after a great missionary meeting
at Exeter Hall, London, convened to
