He had held pastorates in Birmingham, Ala., Kansas City, Fort Worth and Anniston, Ala. He was elected bishop in 1922. His first assignment as bishop was in Brazil, with his official residence being at Sao Paulo. He served as deacon of the school of theology of Southern Methodist university from 1916 to 1920.
