In 1906 he left Canada where he lived and worked until 1936, eventually becoming Canon Precentor of Toronto (1931-1936). From 1931 until his death he lived and worked in Australia, in such positions as lecturer at Moore Theological College, 1936-1956, lecturer at Sydney University, 1938-1956, and as Bishop Coadjutor of Sydney, 1936-1960. He was a prolific author with a particular interest in the translation of Icelandic spiritual works. His translation was recognised by the Icelandic Government with the award of Knight Commander of The Icelandic Order of the Falcon in 1954.
