Rev. James H. Holder Installation Service At Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday Oct. II.

Rev. James H. Holder, 0. D The above is the likeness of the Rev. Dr. James H. Holder, who is being installed as pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday, October 11, 1914, at 3 p. m. This character was born on a farm of Tennessee near Hendersonville. His parents moved to this State when he was about seven years old. Some of the older people today remember how when he was but a boy that he shirked no task placed upon him by parents or his employer; and that industry and truthfulness was the very essence of his character. He embraced a hope in Christ during* a revival at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Baltimore avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., at the age of eleven years. He united with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which the Rev. B. F. Farrell at that time was pastor, and and was baptized. Though but a boy the evidence for a life of usefulness w r as detected and admitted by all who knew him. He was fond of hard work, a diligent student, and made his home with his parents always until his work called him away from home. In 1895 when the burden and responsibility of his life’s work pressed upon him, he was forced to relate same to the little St. John the Baptist Church in the country out west of Indianapolis, where he preached and held successful revivals even before he was licensed to preach. Even though but a lad he pressed his w r ay up and w r ith the aid of the common schools of Indiana and burning midnight oil he w T as able for his ministerial education to enter the Roger Williams University and broadened his vision for greater usefulness. In 1898 he was ordained to the pastorate of the St. Paul Baptist Church, Haughville, where he had been serving as pastor, In 1900 he joined in wedlock to one Miss Laura A. Butler, of Princeton, Ind., who has even until now proved a great spoke in the wheel of his success.. In December, 1901, he took charge of the Second Baptist Church, Brazil, Ind., where he lifted the mortgage, remodeled the building, paid off that debt, held successful revivals, doubled the membership and lifted the w r ork to a higher intelligent standard. In July, 1904, he took charge of the Second Baptist Church of Columbus, Ind., w'here he greatly improved the general conditions of the parish and erected a cosy and unique edifice. It w'as here that young Holder’s influence was felt, not only as a minister, but in the general life of the people, both white and jblack, that he had the honor during the Legislature of 1906 to serve as chaplain in one of its sessions. I In November, 1906, he was called to the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, South Bend, Ind.. In keeping with Dr. Holder’s ministerial habits, he at once went to work, lifted the mortgage from this property, held successful revivals and increased greatly^ the membership. The church pride brought about by his ministry demanded a modern and adequate church building, which he went about at once, and carried the work to the blue print point, at which point a panic struck the place, and business w^as tied up, during which event a call was extended him from the Metropolitap Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Pa. In September, 1908, Dr. Holder took charge of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. This is one of the leading churches of both our race and denomination. The work was run down, yet this young hero was found to be equal to the task. He found on the church property a mortgage of $12,144, including other floating debts. He paid on the mortgage over $6,500. Total receipts for the five years were something over $14,500. With modern ideas and methods the intelligent standard of the church was raised to cope with any of the race. He was the first to introduce the individual communion set among the colored churches of the city. He resigned the Metropolitan Baptist Church August 16, 1914, on his own free will and accord to accept the pastorate of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Indianapolis, Ind. He will be installed Sunday, October 11, 1914, at 3 p. m. This young man has occupied with credit some of the leading positions of his denomination in both Pennsylvania and Indiana. He leaves the East with a deep sense of regret on the part of both church and State, and returns to the old Hoosier State with a cordial reception on the part of both his church and friends. B. F. FARRELL.
