Stanton held a Ba­che­lor of Mu­sic de­gree, and was or­dained to the Ad­vent Chris­tian min­is­try.

He held pas­tor­ates at Hud­son Falls, New York and Law­rence, Mas­sa­chu­setts, and served as sec­re­ta­ry of his de­no­mi­na­tion’s South­ern Mas­sa­chu­setts Dis­trict Con­fer­ence.

Ill health and a fi­nal par­al­y­sis lim­it­ed ac­tiv­i­ty in his lat­er years, though he sup­plied in var­i­ous church­es around New Bed­ford.

His works in­clude:

• Carols of Hope, with Clar­ence Sea­mans & Fran­cis Black­mer (Bos­ton, Mas­sa­chu­setts: Ad­vent Chris­tian Pub­li­ca­tion So­ci­ety, 1906)
