HUGHES, HUGH PRICE: English Wesleyan; b. at Carmarthen, Wales, 1847; d. in London Nov. 17, 1902.

On Sundays he preached to large congregations at St. James's Hall, the public center of the mission, and was recognized as one of the most popular preachers and platform speakers in England. For twenty years he was prominent in every important religious or semi-religious controversy. He was a leader of the Forward Movement aiming at social as well as individual salvation, and carried on with far-reaching effect crusades against drinking, gambling, music-hall indecencies, and the inefficient state regulation of vice. From the beginning he was a leading spirit in the movement for the federation of the non-conformist churches, and became president of the National Council of Evangelical Free Churches. He was president of the Wesleyan Conference in 1898-99, and for fifteen years was editor of the Methodist Times, the organ of the more advanced Methodists. He published The Atheist Shoemaker (London, 1S89); The Philanthropy of God (1890); Social Christianity (1890); Ethical Christianity (1892); Essential Christianity (1894); and Morning Lands of History : A Visit to Greece, Palestine, and Egypt (1901).

HUGHES, JOHN: First archbishop of New York; b. at Annaloghan, County Tyrone, Ireland, June 24 1797; d. in New York Jan. 3, 1864. He came to America in 1817, and entered the Mount St. Mary's Catholic College at Emmitteburg, Md., in 1820. In 1826 he was ordained priest, and settled over a parish in Philadelphia, where he remained until 1837, when he was appointed coadjutor-bishop of New York. Soon after his consecration in 1838 he assumed the virtual administration of the diocese, and on the death of Bishop Dubois in 1842 he succeeded to the bishopric. In 1850, when the see of New York was made an archbishopric, he went to Rome to receive the pallium at the hands of the pope. In 1847 he delivered before both houses of Congress, and at their request, a discourse upon Christianity, the only Source of Moral, Social, and Political Regeneration (New York, 1848). On Aug. 5, 1855, he laid the corner-stone of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the high altar of which was dedicated May 25, 1879. In Nov., 1861, with Mr. Thurlow Weed, he made a semiofficial journey to Europe, at the request of Secretary Seward, to secure the friendly neutrality of European nations, especially of France.
Archbishop Hughes played a more prominent part in America than any other Roman Catholic of his day and enjoyed much respect and popularity. He was, however, a determined Romanist, and took the Roman Catholic view of the public-school system. He was ever ready to defend himself and his Church. He had memorable controversies with John Breckinridge, Nicholas Murray, and Erastus Brooks, editor of the New York Express. One of his acts as bishop was to remove the lay trustees of church property, and to secure the titles in his own name. In this way he stopped litigation, which had brought Romanists into disrepute. He also established (1841) St. John's College, Fordham, N. Y. His Complete Works, consisting of occasional sermons and controversial writings, were edited by L. Kehoe (2 vols., New York, 1864-65).
