He was an American clergyman and author. He attended Wesleyan University, Connecticut (1869, A.M. 1871), Boston University (B.Div. 1871), and Marietta College (Ph.D. 1886). He served pastorates at Methodist Episcopal, Congregational, and Presbyterian churches, promoted Sunday School education, and was prominent in the temperance and prohibition movement.
