He graduated with his B.A from Princeton in 1896, and his B.D. from Hartford Theological Seminary in 1906.^{S10, S11}

A Google Books (books.google.com) search shows that he wrote the following books: - Faith in Christ - 1917

- Mar to Dec 1918 - Religious Work Secretary in the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Upton
- 1919 to his retirement - Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church, Plainfield, NJ (he was still conducting weddings in 1948, so I assume he had not yet retired at this time)
