His best-known books are In Understanding be Men (a handbook of Christian doctrine) and The One Hundred Texts, with Bible verses explaining Reformed teaching. He continued to debate Catholics, with his program on radio 2CH competing with that of the Catholic apologist Dr Rumble on 2SM Hammond was a controversial figure both in Ireland and Australia as a member of the Orange Order in Dublin and Sydney, eventually rising to the position of Grand Master of the Orange Institution of New South Wales in 1961. In recent times, his involvement in the establishment and running of the Bethany Home, a home for orphans, unmarried mothers and their children, and petty criminals, has also been raised for questioning, particularly due to the high mortality rate. The home is subject to ongoing calls to be added to the State redress scheme for victims of child, neglect, sexual and physical abuse. Hammond sat on the board of trustees of the Bethany Home from 1922 until 1935, as other members of the Church of Ireland clergy did throughout its existence. Hammond died on 16 November 1961.
