Richmond Clergyman
Called 10 Calvary
Baptist Church
The Rev. C.. w. Crawford
Succeeds Dr.. Abernethy
As Pustor in February

The Rev. Clarence w. CRAWFORD
pastor of the Second Baptist
Church, Richmond, Va, has beer
called to the pastorate Of Calvary
Baptist Church here, it was an
nounced today.
The 35-year-old preacher will sue
ceed the Rev William S. Abernethy
who will retire at the end of this
month after serving the congrega-
ton for more than 20 years.
A native of Sharpeville. Pa. Mr.
Crawford was graduated from Buck
nell University in 1929 and received
his bachelor of divinity degree in
1882 from Grocer Theological Sem
mary. While at Grocer, he was
director of young peoples activities
in the Baptist Temple of Phila-
delphia.
After his ordination he became
pastor of the Logan Baptist Church
in Philadelphia. where he remained
until going to Richmond three years
ago.
The Calvary congregation voted
on November q to call Mr.. Gran
ford, but public announcement was
delayed until he could present his
resignation to his Richmond con-
gregation yesterday. His letter of
acceptance said, in part:
II recognize what an honor it is
to be chosen to lead such a sig
nificant church as Calvary Baptist.
and to follow a man of such unusual
gifts as DR.. Abernethy. Coming, as
do, to such a large work at
time when world conditions are in
such turbulent state, shall need
the prayers of every member of the
church that God may lead me Alright
in the days that lie ahead.
II will plan to close my work in
Richmond the last of January. A
previous commitment to conduct re-
ligious emphasis week at Coker Col
lege in South Carolina the first
week in February makes 1t impossi-
BILE for me to begin at Calvary until
February Is, 1912. I will plan to
begin my ministry there on that
date.
With the feeling that the hand
of God is upon me, I look forward
to my ministry in your important
