Puritanical pastor retains his charge in Poughkeepsie
In Poughkeepsie New York on July 15 Reverend W H Hubbard pastor of the Baptist church with a turbulent following narrowly retains his pastorate by a vote of 116 to 110 amid disorder. Hubbard’s strict Puritan views have long caused church dissension with opponents citing opposition to automobile riding and a past lecture on a parishioner’s children.
