I have googled HH and got some pretty pictures of a grist mill! Nothing about doctrines or anything. I looked at some articles and got two different pictures. One bad and one good! Still doesn't mean much. I am trying to pm some and have got a few responses but I'm still digging.
You guys are throwing names out there that mean nothing to me at this time. Forgive my ignorance but it is the truth!

Sorry about that. Us old timers think everybody is as old as dirt also and knows all of these names that were once famous in the UPC. Kenneth Phillips was a top UPC evangelist / pastor in the 60's and 70's who left the UPC in 1978 after they banned ministering on TV because he felt led to evangelize through television.
At the time, 1978, he had one of the largest churches in the UPC. He ran about 1500 people and had experienced a tremendous revival in Austin since he had begun pastoring there around 1966 or 1968. In the early to mid 70'sthey had a big hippie revival and many hippies came to the Lord. There are a lot of UPC, not UPC and other pastors who came out of that revival.
You would be amazed at the number of UPC preachers and saints who are around 45-60 years old who got baptized or received the Holy Ghost baptism under a Kenneth Phillips sermon at a Campmeeting or Conference of some kind in the 1970's.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
