How can a church help but progress substantially under ?he fine religious leadership of such an aggressive minister as Rev. Joseph E. Holland, the pastor of the growing Church of Christ Holiness located on the near northside. A native of Clarksville. Miss., the Southerner came to Indianapolis about 39 years ago. Since 1930 he has been affiliated with the Church of Christ Holiness. U.S.A. Before becoming pastor of the congregation at 789 Edgemont in 1960, the * clergyman actively participated in its activities. While chairman of the deacon board he aided in the construction of an edifice to replace what then was a store front building housing about 50 faithful membeis in services. The gospel servant succeeded Rev. J. E. Bearden who accepted a pastorate in Jackson.

Miss.

Rev. Holland, who has had limited formal education, feels that he was "divinely inspired” to enter the ministry. He admitted to somewhat “ducking” the supreme power which was drawing him toward a religious career. But Rev. Holland soon complied to his call to the ministry since he was always an araent church goer and worshipper. WITH THE membership tripling through the years and upon Rev. Holland's acceptance as pastor, he proved his ministerial ability. The preacher has successfully led his followers to redecorating the edifice, painting the interior and basement auditorium, which cost over $500, and purchasing an organ valued at $1,000. One attribute to his success is his fair philosophy in regard to the treatirent of the membership. He strives to deal with each member as an individual—that is to extend courtesy, love, visitation and respect eve 1 to the least affiliate —or to have the same feeling

for everyone. His sense of “fair play” has not only kept his membership together but has motivated each worshipper to contribute soirething personally to the church’s growth. Rev. Holland is closely assisted in his work by his righteous wife, Letha, who is a ehoir member, a Sunday Sehool teacher and secretary of the Willing Workers, a woman’s auxiliary. Like most churches. Rev. Holland's agenda includes a 6 p.m. Sunday youth meeting, a downstairs department mainly lor the youngsters, and Sunday School for everyone.
