He then studied for his profession, and was settled over a parish in Chelsea in 1801, where he remained for twenty-five years. During this time he was instrumental in forming the American Seaman s Friend Society, the first of its kind in the United States, for whose benefit he wrote a number of tracts which had large circulation. In 1826 he removed to Boston, to begin The Ministry at Large, a city mission for the poor on a broad basis, which soon came to be connected with The Benevolent Fraternity of Churches, an association of several parishes for cooperative charity.
