Minister Milks Cows,
Takes Care of.House
and Holds Pastorate
If you had to milk, the cow on Sun
day morning, cook breakfast, wash
knd dress the children for Sunday
School, clean up the house, teach a
Sunday School class, preach and con
duct the morning service, go home and
cook dinner, wash the dishes, go out
to a mission and preach in the after
noon, go home, milk the cow again,
get supper, wash the dishes, take the
children to Christian Endeavor, preach
again at night, go home and put the
kiddies to bed
Well, would you think you had done
a day’s work? Is your pastor as in
dustrious as all that?
That is the record of one Missouri
pastor, the Rev. S. M. Crank, pastor
of the Christian Church at Greenfield,
Mo., as discovered by the recent
Kansas City conference of the Inter
church World Movement. The Rev.
"Mrs.” Crank is no “crank” at all, but
tather a'very common-sense woman,
Vho can do several things at the same
time, and do them all well,v
In addition to her other duties, she
finds time to be a wife and companion
to her husband, who is also a minister,
^he has the pastorate at home, while
he, as she expresses it, is kind enough
to take one at a distance, in order to
afcve her travel.
For the past 30 years Mrs. Crank
has been on the job as a combination
minister-housekeeper, and is as vigor
ous as ever. Every time a new baby
came she would think it was time to
leave the pulpit, but sftie has never
done it. Her call to the ministry was
too strong upon her, she said. In the
30 years ohe has built or revived 33
churches, baptized 3,500 persons, mar
ried hundreds of couples, held untold
meetings, raised thousands of dollars,
and has never taken a vacation from
either the nursery or houselold drudg
ery.
There are several women preachers
In Missouri, Arkansas and adjoini*"'
states, and they are all enthusiar
supporters of the Interchurch Wc
Movement.
