He graduated from Harvard in 1798, and five years later became minister of the Federal Street Church in Boston, where he remained for thirty-seven years. He died October 2, 1842. 1 Channing was still a child when, in 1785, Kings Chapel in Boston, in revising its liturgy, eliminated the doctrine of the Trinity. For the next fifty years the movement went on, separating the Congregational churches in New England into Trinitarian and Unitarian. A sermon preached by Channing in Baltimore in 1819, at the ordination of Jared Sparks is generally regarded as the formulation of the Unitarian creed, and throughout his life Channing continued a leader in the denomination. 2 To the tolerance, the culture, and the high civic and private virtue that characterized the typical Unitarian of that time, Channing added an emotional and spiritual quality, and an interest in philosophy, that make him not merely the greatest of the Unitarian leaders, but in important respects the first of the Transcendentalists. The Calvinists, it has been said, believed that human nature is totally depraved; the Unitarians denied this, their denial carrying with it the positive implication that human nature is essentially good; the Transcendentalists believed that human nature is divine (Goddard). Judged by this test, Channing belongs to the third group, for it is in his passionate faith in the divinity of human nature, apparent in the following lectures On the Elevation of the Laboring Classes, as in his writing and preaching in general, that one finds the characteristic mark of his spirit and the main secret of his power. 3 <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> shine jesus shine</A></b> <br> Essays: English and American.The Harvard Classics. 190914. On the Elevation of the Laboring Classes: Introductory Remarks William Ellery Channing <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> world history time line</A></b> <br> THE FOLLOWING lectures were prepared for two meetings of mechanics, one of them consisting of apprentices, the other of adults. For want of strength they were delivered only to the former, though, in preparing them, I had kept the latter also in view. The Mechanic Apprentices Library Association, at whose request the lectures are published, is an institution of much promise, not only furnishing a considerable means of intellectual improvement, but increasing the self-respect and conducing to the moral safety of the members. 1 When I entered on this task, I thought of preparing only one lecture of the usual length. But I soon found that I could not do justice to my views in so narrow a compass. I therefore determined to write at large, and to communicate through the press the results of my labor, if they should be thought worthy of publication. With this purpose, I introduced topics which I did not deliver, and which I thought might be usefully presented to some who might not hear me. I make this statement to prevent the objection, that the lectures are not, in all things, adapted to those to whom they were delivered. Whilst written chiefly for a class, they were also intended for the community. 2 As the same general subject is discussed in these lectures as in the Lecture on Self-Culture, published last winter, there will, of course, be found in them that coincidence of thoughts which always takes place in the writings of a man who has the inculcation of certain great principles much at heart. Still, the point of view, the mode of discussion, and the choice of topics, differ much in the two productions; so that my state of mind would be given very imperfectly were the present lectures withheld. 3 This is, probably, the last opportunity I shall have for communicating with the laboring classes through the press. I may, therefore, be allowed to express my earnest wishes for their happiness, and my strong hope that they will justify the confidence of their friends, and will prove by their example the possibility of joining with labor all the improvements which do honor to our nature.W. E. C., Boston, February 11, 1840. 4 <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> ohio historical society</A></b> <br> Essays: English and American.The Harvard Classics. 190914. On the Elevation of the Laboring Classes: Lecture I William Ellery Channing <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> black history month lesson plan</A></b> <br> IT is with no common pleasure that I take part in medieval weaponry present course of lectures. Such a course is a sign of medieval weaponry times, and very interesting to all who are interested in medieval weaponry progress of their fellow-creatures. We hear much of medieval weaponry improvements of our age. The wonders achieved by machinery are medieval weaponry common talk of every circle; but I confess that, to me, this gathering of mechanics apprentices, whose chief bond of union is a library, and who come together weekly to refresh and improve themselves by medieval weaponry best instruction which medieval weaponry state of society places within their reach, is more encouraging than all medieval weaponry miracles of medieval weaponry machinist. In this meeting I see, what I desire most to see, that medieval weaponry mass of medieval weaponry people are beginning to comprehend themselves and their true happiness, that they are catching glimpses of medieval weaponry great work and vocation of human beings, and are rising to their true place in medieval weaponry social state. The present meeting indicates a far more radical, more important change in medieval weaponry world than medieval weaponry steam-engine, or medieval weaponry navigation of medieval weaponry Atlantic in a fortnight. That members of medieval weaponry laboring class, at medieval weaponry close of a days work, should assemble in such a hall as this, to hear lectures on science, history, ethics, and medieval weaponry most stirring topics of medieval weaponry day, from men whose education is thought to fit them for medieval weaponry highest offices, is a proof of a social revolution, to which no bounds can be set, and from which too much cannot be hoped. I see in it a repeal of medieval weaponry science of degradation passed by ages on medieval weaponry mass of mankind. I see in it medieval weaponry dawn of a new era, in which it will be understood that medieval weaponry first object of society is to give incitements and means of progress to all its members. I see in it medieval weaponry sign of medieval weaponry approaching triumph of mens spiritual over their outward and material interests. In medieval weaponry hunger and thirst for knowledge and for refined pleasures which this course of lectures indicates in those who labor, I see that medieval weaponry spirit of man in not always to be weighed down by toils for animal life and by medieval weaponry appetite for animal indulgences. I do attach great importance to this meeting, not for its own sake or its immediate benefits, but as a token and pledge of a new impulse given to society through all its conditions. On this account, I take more pleasure in speaking here than I should feel in being summoned to pronounce a show-oration before all medieval weaponry kings and nobles on earth. In truth, it is time to have done with shows. The age is too stirring, we are pressed on by too solemn interests, to be justified in making speeches for self-display or mere amusement. He who cannot say something in sympathy with, or in aid of, medieval weaponry great movements of humanity, might as well hold his peace. 1 With these feelings and convictions, I am naturally, almost necessarily, led to address you on a topic which must insure medieval weaponry attention of such an audience: namely, medieval weaponry elevation of that portion of medieval weaponry community who subsist by medieval weaponry labor of medieval weaponry hands. This work, I have said, is going on. I may add, that it is advancing nowhere so rapidly as in this city. I do not believe that, on medieval weaponry face of medieval weaponry earth, medieval weaponry spirit of improvement has anywhere seized so strongly on those who live by medieval weaponry sweat of medieval weaponry brow as among ourselves. Here it is nothing rare to meet medieval weaponry union of intellectual culture and self-respect with hard work. Here medieval weaponry prejudice against labor as degrading has very much given way. This, then, is medieval weaponry place where medieval weaponry subject which I have proposed should be discussed. We ought to consider in what medieval weaponry true elevation of medieval weaponry laboring portion consists, how far it is practicable, and how it may be helped onward. The subject, I am aware, is surrounded with much prejudice and error. Great principles need to be brought out, and their application plainly stated. There are serious objections to be met, fears to be disarmed, and rash hopes to be crushed. I do not profess to have mastered medieval weaponry topic. But I can claim one merit, that of coming to medieval weaponry discussion with a feeling of its importance, and with a deep interest in medieval weaponry class of people whom it concerns. I trust that this expression of interest will not be set down as mere words, or as meant to answer any selfish purpose. A politician who professes attachment to medieval weaponry people is suspected to love them for their votes. But a man who neither seeks nor would accept any place within their gift may hope to be listened to as their friend. As a friend, I would speak plainly. I cannot flatter. I see defects in medieval weaponry laboring classes. I think that, as yet, medieval weaponry greater part of them have made little progress; that medieval weaponry prejudices and passions, medieval weaponry sensuality and selfishness of multitudes among them, are formidable barriers to improvement; that multitudes have not waked as yet to a dim conception of medieval weaponry end for which they are to struggle. My hopes do not blind me to what exists; and with this clear sense of medieval weaponry deficiencies of medieval weaponry multitude of men, I cannot, without guilt, minister to their vanity. Not that they alone are to be charged with deficiencies. Look where we may, we shall discern in all classes ground for condemnation; and whoever would do good ought to speak medieval weaponry truth of all, only remembering that he is to speak with sympathy, and with a consciousness of his own fallibleness and infirmity. 2 In giving my views of medieval weaponry elevation of medieval weaponry laboring multitude, I wish that it may be understood that I shall often speak prospectively, or of changes and improvements which are not to be expected immediately, or soon; and this I say, that I may not be set down as a dreamer, expecting to regenerate medieval weaponry world in a day. I fear, however, that this explanation will not shield me from this and like reproaches. There are men who, in medieval weaponry face of all history, of medieval weaponry great changes wrought in mens condition, and of medieval weaponry new principles which are now acting on society, maintain that medieval weaponry future is to be a copy of medieval weaponry past, and probably a faded rather than bright copy. From such I differ, and did I not differ I would not stand here. Did I expect nothing better from human nature than I see, I should have no heart for medieval weaponry present effort, poor as it may be. I see medieval weaponry signs of a better futurity, and especially signs that medieval weaponry large class by whose toil we all live are rising from medieval weaponry dust; and this faith is my only motive to what I now offer. 3 The elevation of medieval weaponry laboring portion of society: this is our subject. I shall first consider in what this consists. I shall then consider some objections to its practicableness, and to this point shall devote no small part of medieval weaponry discussion; and shall close medieval weaponry subject with giving some grounds of my faith and hope in regard to medieval weaponry most numerous class of our fellow-beings. 4 I. What is to be understood by medieval weaponry elevation of medieval weaponry laboring class? This is our first topic. To prevent misapprehension, I will begin with stating what is not meant by it, in what it does not consist.I say, then, that by medieval weaponry elevation of medieval weaponry laborer, I do not understand that he is to be raised above medieval weaponry need of labor. I do not expect a series of improvements, by which he is to be released from his daily work. Still more, I have no desire to dismiss him from his workshop and farm, to take medieval weaponry spade and axe from his hand, and to make his life a long holiday. I have faith in labor, and I see medieval weaponry goodness of God in placing us in a world where labor alone can keep us alive. I would not change, if I could, our subjection to physical laws, our exposure to hunger and cold, and medieval weaponry necessity of constant conflicts with medieval weaponry material world. I would not, if I could, so temper medieval weaponry elements that they should infuse into us only grateful sensations, that they should make vegetation so exuberant as to anticipate every want, and medieval weaponry minerals so ductile as to offer no resistance to our strength and skill. Such a world would make a contemptible race. Man owes his growth, his energy, chiefly to that striving of medieval weaponry will, that conflict with difficulty, which we call Effort. Easy, pleasant work does not make robust minds, does not give men a consciousness of their powers, does not train them to endurance, to perseverance, to steady force of will, that force without which all other acquisitions avail nothing. Manual labor is a school in which men are placed to get energy of purpose and character, a vastly more important endowment than all medieval weaponry learning of all other schools. They are placed, indeed, under hard masters, physical sufferings and wants, medieval weaponry power of fearful elements, and medieval weaponry vicissitudes of all human things; but these stern teachers do a work which no compassionate, indulgent friend could do for us; and true wisdom will bless Providence for their sharp ministry. I have great faith in hard work. The material world does much for medieval weaponry mind by its beauty and order; but it does more for our minds by medieval weaponry pains it inflicts; by its obstinate resistance which nothing but patient toil can overcome; by its vast forces, which nothing but unremitting skill and effort can turn to our use; by its perils which demand continual vigilance; and by its tendencies to decay. I believe that difficulties are more important to medieval weaponry human mind than what we call assistance. Work we all must, if we mean to bring out and perfect our nature. Even if we do not work with medieval weaponry hands, we must undergo equivalent toil in some other direction. No business or study which does not present obstacles, tasking to medieval weaponry full medieval weaponry intellect and medieval weaponry will, is worthy of a man. In science, he who does not grapple with hard questions, who does not concentrate his whole intellect in vigorous attention, who does not aim to penetrate what at first repels him, will never attain to mental force. The uses of toil reach beyond medieval weaponry present world. The capacity of steady, earnest labor is, I apprehend, one of our great preparations for another state of being. When I see medieval weaponry vast amount of toil required of men, I feel that it must have important connections with their future existence; and that he <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org">
