One of the “Put-outers” was Fred Hillery who, along with George Perry & others, were forced out of St. Paul’s Methodist Church in Providence, R.I. by a pastor who was not in sympathy with holiness & deleted holiness meetings from the church calendar. Hillery & Perry rented a hall to carry on holiness meetings, taking care not to conflict with services at St. Paul’s. The pastor finally removed them from their church offices. They contacted the presiding elder (DS), hoping to start another Methodist Church, but Hillery was instead charged & put out of the Meth. Ch. In 1887, the People’s Evangelical Church was organized, & soon became a magnet for other holiness associations. In 1888 The Beulah Christian became their official paper. |

Hoople & the APCA began aware of the CEHA in New England. Hiram F.
