ARTHUR HOLLAND:  The subject of this sketch first saw the light of day 
near Auburn, Kentucky, on July 7, 1886, and is the son of R. C. and 
Sue B. Holland.  He grew up on a farm and attended the schools at 
hand.  After graduating from high school at Auburn, Kentucky, he 
attended Bethel College, Russellville, Kentucky, in preparation for 
the work of the ministry.
	He was converted at the age of sixteen and united with the 
Friendship Church, Logan County, Kentucky, being baptized by Rev. 
John Henry Moore.  He had previously united with the Cumberland 
Presbyterians at the age of ten but was not saved.  After his 
experience of grace he began to study the Bible on the subjects of 
Baptism and the Church and in consequence he became a Baptist.  His 
home Church licensed him to preach in 1908 and in the year 1910 he 
was ordained to the work of the ministry by this same Church with 
Revs. A. C. Dorris, the pastor, John Kinnidy, F. M. Welborn, and Wood 
Hall serving as the council of ordination.
	Immediately after his ordination he entered the pastorate of 
his home Church.  He also served the Cave Spring, Whittaker's Chapel, 
Elk Lick, Beechland, and Mt. Pleasant Churches in Logan County; 
Dunmor, Ky.; Kelly's Station; South Carrollton; and Drakesboro, 
Kentucky.  He served the Station, Sacramento, and Island Churches in 
this Association for part time.  In the years 1923-1929 he served the 
Whitesville Church for full time.  His other full time pastorates 
have been at Hartford, Smithland, Eddyville ,and Fredonia.  He served 
Bell's Run Church in connection with the Whitesville pastorate and 
Liberty and Pleasant Hill in connection with the pastorate at 
Eddyville.  Since 1936 he has pastored Panther Creek, Clear Run, 
Dundee, Concord, and Barnett's Creek Churches in Ohio County, and at 
one time was pastor of Beech Creek Church, Muhlenberg County.  He is 
still a pastor in Ohio County at present and makes his home on a 
small farm near Mt. Carmel Church on the Owensboro-Hartford road.
	He has served as the Moderator of the Logan County Association 
and as a member of the Mission Boards of the Logan County, 
Muhlenberg, Daviess-McLean Ohio County, Ohio River, and Caldwell 
County Associations.  He led the Drakesboro, Whitesville, and 
Eddyville Churches to adopt full time preaching and laid the ground 
work for the erection of a twenty-room annex at the Whitesville 
Church and also a nineteen-room annex at the Eddyville Church.  Both 
of these annexes were completed soon after his retirement from the 
pastorate of these Churches.
	Seven young men have been converted under his ministry who 
later became ministers of the Gospel.  They are: George D. Park, 
Louis Dobbins, Raymond Stovall Terrel, Drexel Hankins, Renich Dailey, 
and Imon Lee Baughn.  This alone gives ample proof of his missionary 
and evangelistic spirit in his preaching and life.
	Our brother first married Miss Pearl Robbins in 1908.  She was 
the daughter of J. L. and Paralee Robbins.  Three sons and one 
daughter blessed this union.  His first wife died in 1927 and in the 
year 1928 he married Miss Thelma Patton, the daughter of Clarence and 
Jessie Patton, of Ohio County.  Two sons and four daughters have 
blessed this second union.  The two youngest daughters are twins.
	The life and ministry of Brother Holland has been a blessing to 
multitudes and his contribution to the furtherance of the work of 
Baptists in the Associations and Churches where he has served has 
been noteworthy.  He is an able Bible student and expositor of the 
Word of God and has built up his Churches in the Doctrines believed 
by Baptists.
