On ne sait pas quand le colonel a appris la vérité d'Israël pour la première fois, mais cela a dû être assez tôt dans la vie car il avait étudié l'Évangile du Royaume tout en étant associé à l'Église anglicane. Quoi qu'il en soit, à son arrivée à Vancouver, il a vite été attiré par cette association et en a été le secrétaire pendant près de vingt ans. Il était très connu comme conférencier et enseignant et a voyagé à la fois au Canada et aux États-Unis, en plus de Londres en Angleterre, et ses manières sympathiques ont fait de lui un conférencier très populaire. C'était un grand ambassadeur de la vérité d'Israël. Il mourut en 1950.
