Centennial Notes

By Dr. Harold Hunter

Year: 1917
Pentecostal Holiness Advocate launched; G.F. Taylor served as editor until 1934, except for 1925-1929; Advocate served as official voice of church until 1997

The Way of Faith founded in Columbia, South Carolina in 1895 provided a valuable platform for various Fire-Baptized Holiness and Pentecostal Holiness ministers. The Way of Faith is currently published by the Oliver Gospel Mission which once counted R.B. Hayes among its workers and presently serves as a homeless shelter and is led by a dynamic charismatic Baptist woman. Published in Way of Faith by 1895, B.H. Irwin constructed the doctrine of a "third blessing" for those who had already been sanctified. This was the baptism of the Holy Ghost and with fire, or simply the baptism of fire. This would be the enduement of power from on high through the Holy Spirit.⁽⁶⁷⁾ During the Azusa St. Revival it was Bartleman's 1906 reports in Pike's Way of Faith where Crumpler learned of the Pentecostal mission. A North Carolina holiness preacher in Crumpler's church, Gaston Barnabas Cashwell, traveled to Los Angeles and obtained the Pentecostal experience first-hand. The North Carolina revival that Cashwell initiated upon his return in the first days of 1907 quickly spread in the Southeast, while every major holiness denomination and most of their individual leaders and laypersons soon entered the Pentecostal fold. The Church of God in Christ took its cue from Charles H. Mason personally went to the Azusa St. Revival.

A number of religious groups from across the country, and especially the holiness congregations of the South, followed the Azusa St. Revival with great interest, mainly through reports in the Apostolic Faith, W.J. Seymour's paper, which printed reports by Cashwell on the explosion of Pentecost in the Southeast. This is the same magazine which A.H. Argue passed on to J.H. King in Canada.

Founding editor G.F. Taylor started the Pentecostal Holiness Advocate which ran from 1917 until 1997. The was the first official organ of the PHC as consolidated in 1911.
