During 1852 and 1853 he supplied the First Church of Chester. He was next called to the First Presbyterian Church of Memphis, Tennessee, in 1854; and in 1868 organized the Alabama Street Church, in the same city, which he served until 1880, when failing health obliged him to retire from active work.
