At the age of sixteen, Morris became a Cadet and served his cadetship as secretary to the Territorial Commander. As a Lieutenant he was attached to Headquarters. In 1893 he was appointed chief assistant in the office of the Provincial Commander for Eastern Ontario, located in Kingston. Recalled to Headquarters in 1896, he became private secretary to the Chief Secretary, and later served as the private secretary to the Territorial Commander Evangeline Booth.
