As a youth, he left Scotland and committed his life to preaching the word of God to the people of Uganda.He introduced vocational training, taught practical skills and laid the foundation of education in the Church of Uganda. He introduced a printing press which he used to print the Luganda version of the Holy Bible. The printing press is now at the Uganda Museum.
