died at the age of twenty-eight, and it was left to William Ellery Channing to be the first Unitarian to show something like a full appreciation of the significance for religion of the changing spirit of the time. Channing is the bridge between Unitarianism and transcendentalism. Channing was born in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1780. His early religious environment was Calvinistic but not illiberal, his parents being orthodox in belief but tolerant in spirit.

During his college days at Harvard Channing's early tendency toward revolt was strengthened and his seeking for intellectual independence encouraged. Contact in his reading with radical English writers of the eighteenth century gave a direction to his thinking which, in spite

In Newport, too, Hopkins became acquainted with the Channing family: Wing to be damned, then you are sure to be. Hopkins thus carried onward and reduced to a system tral emancipation from theological terrors. Hopkins personally met his own requirements of benevorian tolerance: he was the friend not only of Hopkins but of the Boston progressives and of the Newsupplies them. The germ of this portion of Hopkins's system appears in one of his earliest publi universe and left it thenceforth to evolve. Hopkins perceived and turned to account with much acuw unknowable power distinct from matter; and, Hopkins might have added, Wallace, with his several s[29 more...]
