In between, and among several other things, he became known by contemporaries as "The Poet of the Laurentians" (Old Poetry Archive). Over the course of his career, he was also known for his love of fellow Canadians and distinguished war service while having the "vision and enthusiasm of an Imperialist" (Old Poetry Archive). Poems like "Hymn of Empire" spoke more to his clerical career. "
