In the passing of Mr. Crawford.
Heppner loses one of its most high
ly respected and useful citizens. Dur
ing his fourteen years residence here
he endeared himself to the people of
Heppner and was know n far and wide
as the friend of every one.
The funeral services were held in
the Christian Church Sunday morn
ing at 11 o'clock, conducted by the
pastor, T. S. Handsaker, assisted by
Rev. Smith, of the Federated Church,
and Rev. Van Waters of the Episco
pal Church.
The large auditorium was filled
with a concourse of friends to pay the
last respects to a friend and brother.
The service at the grave was con
ducted by the Masonic order, of
which Mr.' Crawford was a member.
Rev. Handsaker spoke very feel
ingly of his long and intimate ac
quaintance with the deceased. He
called attention to the appropriatnesa
of the place and hour for the ser
vice, inasmuch as Mr. Crawford was
for four years pastor of this congre
gation and had often stood in this
pulpit at this hour to proclaim the
gospel and officiate at the commun
ion table. He spoke of a sense of
personal loss that he felt especially
since Tiro. Crawford had been, during
the present pastorate, associate min
ister to the congregation. This office,
he said, w as not merely nominal, but
that in many ways he had received
help from the one he was glad to call
his associate, and that the frequent
calls which came to Bro. Crawford
to conduct funerals, attested to the
large hold he had upon the hearts of
the community.
The texts chosen, Rev. Handsaker
said, were selected from a great num
ber of oppropriate ones, but that he
thought none more suitable could be
found than Paul's words (II Corin
thians, 12:2) "I know a man in
Christ" and the promise in Revela
tion: "Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord" (Rev. 14:13).
He said in part: "To be in Christ,
Paul tells us, Is to be a new creature.
The life Is characterized by new mo
tives. The wordly life consists in
getting. The Christ life gives. Of
the Master it was said: 'He came not
to be ministered unto but to minister.
Those who live in Christ will count
It a privilege to serve their fellow
men. For fourteen years, Bro. Craw-
