More Quotes from William Channing:
We do, then, with all earnestness, though without reproaching our brethren, protest against the irrational and unscriptural doctrine of the Trinity.

We are astonished, that any man can read the New Testament, and avoid the conviction, that the Father alone is God.William Channing

Self-culture, the care which every (person) owes to (oneself), to the unfolding . . . of (one's) nature. . . .
