Arthur Richard Crocker

Arthur Richard Crocker was born in 1885 in London, England, and in 1908, was standing on a street corner in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada at the age of 23, and was converted to Christ thru the preaching of a Mr. Lester and a Mr. Brown who later served in Argentina. Crocker was received into fellowship at Brandon, Manitoba and commended to full-time laboring in the Lord's work among the open brethren (OB) from an assembly at Galt, Ontario. He labored for many years on Manitoulin Island, then in Florida, then his remaining years in Los Angeles, California where he died in 1955. He married Dinah Higson Crocker (b. 1881 Bolton, England - d. 1969 Tustin, CA). He was in poor health for a good portion of his adult life, but still managed to lead scores to Christ, including while in hospitals, and was in high demand as a conference preacher. He and his wife were also in a car-semi accident in the late 1940's in Kentucky that set them back a bit, but not out.

Writings

Devotionals

• AA 1955-8: Our Kinsman Redeemer

"But I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though after my skin worms shall destroy this body, yet from my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself and mine eyes shall behold and not another." (Job 19:25)

An able commentator has in part remarked, "The Last shall stand up for my dust." Three precious truths are developed here. 1. The Kinsman. 2. The Redeemer. 3. The Avenger.

1. Kinsman: Job spoke of a Daysman, Umpire, or Arbitrator to put His hand on us both. It was only the next of kin that had the right to redeem in Israel; so our Blessed Lord Jesus in taking on Him a body, became our Kinsman. Note Hebrews 2:14, "Forasmuch then as children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also likewise took part of the same."

2. Redeemer: The Kinsman must have the right and power to redeem. So our Blessed Lord by His cross has conquered Satan in the very place where he exercised his dominion over man. The Son of God became the Son of Man that He might become our Redeemer. There are three words for Redeemer: "Agarazo", which means to purchase in the market; "Ex-agarazo", meaning to purchase out of the market and never to be for sale again; and "Lutroo", which means to be loosed from bondage. So in the book of Ruth, Boaz said, "I have bought all". So also David on one occasion said, "I have recovered all."

3. Avenger: "He shall stand up for my dust." Note Isaiah 41:4, "I, the Lord, the First and the Last; I am He." The Lord Jesus, the First and the Last, will have the last word to say about the dust of His people. Satan may contend with Michael about the body of Moses, but the Lord will have the last word to say about that. So Job knew that from his flesh he would see God and not as a stranger; he knew Him as his Vindicator or Avenger, in subduing the power of death and dealing triumphantly with his dust. Note Philippians 3:21 and the latter part of the verse, "according to the working whereby He is able to subdue all things unto Himself." Also Hebrews 2 and the latter part of verse 14, "that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil."

Job looked on beyond his present sufferings, knowing the day would come when he, and all other believers, who have fallen asleep, and we who are alive and remain, et cetera, shall see Him as He is. "From his flesh" contrasts the difference between his present state and then. "Who shall change our body of humiliation and shall fashion it like unto His Body of Glory."

Testimony Addresses

The following is transcribed from Assembly Annals 1934-4, unrevised notes of address by A.R. Crocker, titled Our Death With Christ, with main texts Rev. 2:1-6; 1 Kings 22:1-3. Italics his. Some spellings have been Americanized, editor's choice.

"We have been meditating a little in past nights upon the truths of the death, the burial, and the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I would like to follow that up tonight and apply it to the heart, for there is a tendency to let these old-fashioned, yet nevertheless vital truths slip. The tendency today, as no doubt you will agree with me, is to depart from the simplicity that is in Christ.

I don't know how it was with each of you who are saved. I know how it was with myself when God saved me twenty-five years ago last summer, standing on a street corner in the city of Woodstock, in Ontario, Canada. Two brethren now laboring in South America (I refer to Mr. Lester and Mr. Brown of the Argentine) were preaching, and as a young man of twenty-three years of age my heart was captivated. "Religious?" Yes, so religious that I was studying for the Episcopal ministry at Wycliffe College, yet I knew nothing of the lovely, simple truths, now so well-known to us that we are prone to treat them as commonplace.

For the first time there and then entered into my heart the wonderful, the warm message of the death of Christ, and I well remember how the mingled tears of contrition and joy coursed down my cheeks. The date of the month I do not know. I know it was a Saturday night between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, that my heart was won, was captivated, when for the first time I took in the reason why the Lord Jesus died on that cruel rugged tree. I there and then apprehended that it was for a guilty sinner like me.

I was very simple then and I pray the Lord that whenever I refer to my conversion He will help me to throw my mind back to that occasion so that I may not add twenty-five years of Christian experience to it. Everyone here that is saved, even though you have been saved forty or fifty years, will heartily concur in this remark that you were very simple the night, or the day, that God saved you.

I just drank in the glorious message of the wonderful love of God to me. I know that men thought me mad. Some ridiculed me. Some insulted me, and said very unkind things, such as, "Give him enough rope", and gibes like that. But twenty-five years have rolled over my head since then and I am still here by the grace of God. If I know my own heart, I think the Lord Jesus is more sweet and precious to me than ever He was before.

But at the same time, I would like to get back to that beautiful simplicity that we found in Christ Jesus when we were saved, not being "simple", but the simplicity that is in Christ. The tendency today is to want new things, big things, prophecy, coming events. All well and good in their place, but God's work, if it is anything at all, is heart work. The Lord Jesus clearly teaches us that, by His words and His life and actions. Never do we see Him performing miracles to make the giddy-eyed populace stare and wonder. Never. Every one of His miracles, without exception, is a moral miracle, heart work.

Now I want to elucidate and emphasize the truth of our death with Christ by asking a question. Young Christian, what did you learn when you were saved? "I learned that Jesus made an end of all my sins." That is good. But I want you to remember this as well, that God then made an end of you. God's estimate of you was that you were no good. You were so bad in His eyes that you were past recovery. Only one thing could He do with you, and that was to put you to death judicially in the person of Jesus Christ.

We said something the other night about a young man I knew who had got saved. He had been saved about six months and it was lovely to hear him pray. I like to hear babes lisp. It is something out of all proportion when hear discourses from babes. That man was happy, but he came to the prayer meeting one night and his head was hanging down and he looked the picture of misery. I tried to find out the trouble. He said, "While at work today, I hit the wrong nail with my hammer, and something shot out of my mouth. I never thought I would ever say a thing like that after I was saved, but it was out." Now he was wondering if he was saved at all.

"What did you learn when you got saved?" I asked him. "I learned that Jesus had made an end of all my sins by His precious blood. "Well, you are saved all right. Your trouble, young man, is that you are proud." He looked puzzled. "Yes, you are proud. You are giving yourself away. You are looking into your own heart for something good that you will never find there, and that is enough to make you miserable. You are looking in the wrong place."

Not only did Jesus make an end of your sins, but remember this other truth... for it will stabilize you, it will steady you in days to come; it will help you when there is opposition, when you get the sneer and frown from a wicked, cold, Christless world: it will help you to know this... that not only did God make an end of your sins, but He made an end of you. That will help wonderfully.

(To be continued D.V.)"

Assembly Annals obit

"Brother Crocker went home on July 25 after a lingering illness, patiently borne. He was born in London, England, was born again in Woodstock, Canada, received in fellowship in Brandon, Manitoba, and commended to the work of the Lord in Galt, Ontario.

He had been operated on six times and had been in fourteen hospitals, some of them being the largest and best in the country. The Lord richly blessed his testimony to the salvation of souls contacted, outstanding among them was Col. French, at Peter-Bent-Bingham Hospital (Harvard). Also a medical student, Warner, was saved while he was there. He had come all the way from Chile to study at Harvard.

For a good many years our brother labored on Manitoulin Island, and many years in Florida where he had the joy of seeing the good hand of the Lord in conversions. The last several years were spent in Los Angeles where he sought to help in ministering to the saints there. Brother Crocker's last words were from Psalm 62:5 (JND Translation), "Upon God alone does my soul rest peacefully."

We commend the widow (1507 S. Stanley, Los Angeles, California) to the prayers of the Lord's people. Brother Westwood and Olson spoke at the funeral services."

1950's

• LOI 1950-1: A.R. Crocker, Los Angeles, CA: "Am feeling slightly improved, and am able to minister the Word in the different assemblies in the Los Angeles area.

Crocker, T.M. Olson, and T.E. McCully. The Lord graciously met our every need and there was a very evident spirit of anticipation as our theme, the soon coming of our Lord, was opened up. We can truly thank God for a time of spiritual awakening. Maranatha."
• LOI 1951-9: Harold Smeal @ LaBrea Gospel Chapel, Los Angeles, CA: "Southern California assemblies for the past six months or so have been deprived of Brother Crocker's exceptionally helpful ministry due to his having a serious heart ailment and a severe disease in the blood vessels of the lower extremities. His many friends in the United States and Canada will undoubtedly join in swelling the large volume of prayer locally that, if it be His will, the Lord will grant at least partial restoration, so as to permit His servant to continue to distribute the precious nuggets of biblical truth which have always characterized Bro. Crocker's unfolding of the Word."
