Walter Hughes
1890 - 1975

"When you have been saved, regenerated, born again, then join a church-a live church. Join where the preacher loves the Word of God and the souls of men. Keep out of these ecclesiastical deep freezers. A deep freeze is all right for a dead chicken or a chunk of cheese or a leg of lamb, but it is no place for a live baby. A baby must be fed and nourished and given a chance to exercise, vocalize and grow. It couldn't do that in a refrigerator."


Dr. Walter Hughes was an evangelist and Bible teacher from Ilderton, Ontario, Canada. This graduate of Woodstock Baptist College and McMaster University was pastor of the Forward Baptist Church in Toronto for 13 years.

Dr. Hughes was a gold and silver medalist in public speaking and the author of two sermon books.

He was a twice-wounded veteran of two wars. He was made a member of "The Order of the British Empire," served as Captain Chaplain with Canadian forces and was decorated "for gallant and outstanding service in Northwest Europe."
