Ministry
Rev. Hughes began preaching in 1886. He was Pastor at Newton Centre, Massachusetts (1892–96), and at Malden, Massachusetts (1896–1903).
He then became the President of DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana in 1903. As President he worked on promoting student discipline and reducing the University's financial deficits. By the time Hughes left office, the University's endowment had more than doubled, from $231,000 to $530,000. His term as President ended in 1909 shortly after assuming the work of a Bishop.
Rev. Hughes also served as a Trustee of the Carnegie Foundation (1904–08). He was elected president of the State Teachers' Association of Indiana for the year 1904.

Famous quotes containing the word ministry:
“the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“The State has but one face for me: that of the police. To my eyes, all of the State’s ministries have this single face, and I cannot imagine the ministry of culture other than as the police of culture, with its prefect and commissioners.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
