'He [the new apprentice] made selections from the Old and New Testament history, which he read aloud, and upon which he dilated with a force and eloquence that would have done honour to a barrister. With the most plausible reasoning he united the most cutting sarcasm, and with a show of ... candour he would invite our replies to his propositions, or challenge us to produce the arguments for our faith, woe to the unfortunate who had the temerity to accept his challenge.'
