In 1841 He was ordained and subsequently worked the Stamford and St. Catharines circuits. During his career he was called to the following charges: Port Hope, Picton, Belleville, Kinston, London, Strathroy and Sarnia. In 1849 he was appointed editor of the Christian Guardian and worked there for five years until he took a ministerial position in Cobourg. Between 1854 and1859 he worked as a Book Steward in Toronto.
