Excerpt from The First Bishop of Toronto
The theological views to which, as a young student at King ston, he had been led, may be described in general terms as those of the Bishop Hobart school in the United States; views re?ecting, in the main, the principles of the Scottish Episcopal Church. Among English divines,' Bishop Jeremy Taylor per haps (provided the Liberty of Prophesying be not excluded) may be taken as an exponent of them. But in no portion of his teaching, throughout the whole of his career, Is there any trace of Leaderism, 'that bane of theology, which renders the voice of every modern school more or less hollow and unreal. In the great Oxford movement, he instantly discerned the gold from the dross, the truthful from the fantastic. Newman, whom he had personally known, was, on his defection, to him as a stone cast into the sea -to use an expression of his own in relation to that occurrence.
