Excerpt from The Colonial Church Chronicle, and Missionary Journal, 1861 Mr Loam - I have prepared, in reply to the letter addressed by the Lord Bishop of Huron to the Executive Committee of his Synod, a full statement of my teaching on the points objected to by his Lords ship, together with authorities from approved writers of the Church of England but independent of this more elaborate reply, I think it necessary to give a brief answer to some of the comments of the Bishop on the manner, matter, and tendency of that teaching. As respects the manner, I can add but little to the statement which I made in my letter of the 28th of July, which was published in the daily papers, and which I here transcribe. It is my duty to lecture the students of the first year on the Cate chism of the Church of England. For this purpose I have compiled a manuscript, which I read and explain to the class. The students are expected to take notes of the lecture and to answer questions on the next day of attendance. In order to save time and to observe due method in my questioning, I have prepared for my own use a book of questions, omitting or adding questions at my discretion, when I use it. The only written result of my lectures which I require or wish, is a summary of them in the note-books of the students. The contents of these books I never see, nor can I hold myself responsible for them'. I am, however, given to understand that it is the practice of some of the students to write down the questions which are addressed to them, and to reduce their notes into the form of answers to these questions. This practice I disapprove, and it is well known that I do not consider it to be a legitimate mode of registering the information given in the lectures. Some years ago I consented, more than once, to place my book of questions in the hands of students, on their plea that it would assist them to complete or correct their notes. I know also that the note-books have passed from hand to hand in the College, but so far from encouraging this I have urged young men to trust, if not exclusively, at all events mainly, to their own recollection and record of what they hear. My wish is further, that in replying to my questions, the students should give, in their own language, for the most part, the substance of what they have been taught. Of course there are instances in which substantial accuracy can be secured only by keep ing close to the exact terms in which the instruction was conveyed.
