He was ordained a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1866 and he served successively in charges at Truro, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Halifax. From 1894 to 1902, he was a professor of systematic theology and apologetics at the Halifax Presbyterian College and in 1902 he was appointed Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Queen's University.
