Mr. Harlow was ordained to the Gospel ministry Oct. 15, 1868, in Middleboro, Mass. He was engaged as a stated supply by the St. Lawrence Street Church in Portland, Me., where he labored for more than a year. He then went to Belfast, Me., and was a stated supply for the First Congregational Church during some thirteen months, when he received a call to the pastorate of the Evangelical Congretional [sic] Church as a colleague pastor with the Rev. David Sanford. The call was accepted, and Mr. Harlow was duly installed Feb. 13, 1872.
