OREGON PASTOR
USES PLANE IN
REVIVAL WORK
SKY Pilot Often breaches
Sermons CARRIED in His
Air Toys.
BY GEORGE ID. CRISSEY
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

PORTLAND, Ore, July 5.-Over
sky-scraping mountains and lowly
plains Of the Oregon country"
where a few years ago tired circuit
riders plodded their weary way,
there now speeds on the wings of
the wind a preacher aviator.
The Rev. r. Robert Crawford of
Portland, is an ordained minister
of the Apostolic Faith as we'll as
being a licensed pilot. He is as
sistant overseer of the Pacific
Northwest region of his denomina-
ton and flies to the various out
posts of his charge in trim little
hi-plane.
Purchased by Church
This airplane, believed to be one
of very few if not the only one
used exclusive for evangelistic work,
was purchased by the church TO per-
NIT rapid travel from central
headquarters toivarious small towns
and to cities where ministerial serv-
ices were needed urgently.
1t is a three-passenger American
Eagle biplane, equipped with a 125
horse power Radial Ryan-Siemens
motor, capable of travelling 10
miles per hour. The Rev. Crawford,
who indeed is SKY pilot" uses it
frequently whenevera congregation
many part of his wide territory
sounds a call for speed.
The plane, with it's cleaning
white coat and striking design of
Rising Sun, attracts attention wher-
ever it goes. Many a person in iso-
lated towns has been surprised as it
swooped to earth and shortly there
after the handsome pilot started
preaching a sermon without bother
ing to remove his flying garments.
Started Six Years Ago
Wings of the Morning is the
name Of this ministerial air plane.
1t was sixteen years ago that r.
Robert Crawford, then a tall youth
Of 20, became an ordained minister
in his native California. Q Six years
ago, after bordering over the pos
sibility of combining flying with
preaching, he laid aside the broad
cloth for time and took up an avn
ator's helmet. He enrolled in the
school of aeronautics conducted by
the Curtiss Southwest Airplane
Company of Tulsa, Okla.
Five months of constant study
and work passed before Crawford
emerged "a full-f1edged pilot whose
life was ordained to peace and good
will. In February, 1920, he flew his
first plane, a Curtis Oriole from
Tulas 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 &C.
Cured, it was abandoned-mostly
because Of the lack of flying fields
in this region.
But now, with fields dotting Ore
gon and Washington, the aerial mis-
sionary work has been resumed and
a new plane purchased.
