Tom Channing can go on at a splitting rate when he likes, and he has not spared his words. Gerald, being the party interested, does not like it. That's what they were having a row over, when you came up." "Gerald has no more right to be put over Tom Channing's head, than you have to be put over Pye's," said Roland, angrily. "Of course he has not," replied Gaunt.
The dean gazed at Arthur as he stood before him; at his tall form noble even in its youthfulness his fine, ingenuous countenance, his earnest eye; it was impossible to associate such with the brand of guilt, and the dean's suspicious doubts melted away. If ever uprightness was depicted unmistakably in a human countenance, it shone out then from Arthur Channing's.
All of us as proud as peacocks of our "little Raphael." Heard Mrs. Butler read; very fine. May. Left the L.'s with my $33; glad to rest. May went home with her picture, happy in her winter's work and success. Father had three talks at W. F. Channing's. Good company Emerson, Mrs. Howe, and the rest.
The religious secession took its definite form in Dr. Channing's sermon at the ordination of Jared Sparks in Baltimore in 1819, which powerfully arraigned the dominant theology of the time. Bryant's first volume followed a year or two later, and our distinctive literary epoch opened. Ten years afterwards, when Bryant had left New England, Dr.
Channing's health, the worse it made it for him to enter upon. As chance had it, Hamish himself paved the way. He began telling of an incident which had taken place that morning, to the scandal of the town. A young man, wealthy but improvident, had been arrested for debt. Mr. Huntley had not yet heard of it. "It stopped his day's pleasure," laughed Hamish.
"Whew!" retorted Pierce senior, "do you think I am afraid? I say that Arthur Channing stole the note lost by old Galloway." Tom, in uncontrollable temper, raised his hand and struck him. One half-minute's struggle, nothing more, and Pierce senior was sprawling on the ground, while Tom Channing's cheek and nose were bleeding. Gaunt had stepped in between them. "I stop this," he said.
Channing became minister of the Federal Street Church in Boston in 1803. The appointment of Ware as Hollis Professor of Divinity in Harvard College took place in 1805. That appointment was the first clear indication of the liberal party's strength. Channing's Baltimore Address was delivered in 1819. He died in 1847.
Arthur was taken into a small room, so full of papers that it seemed difficult to turn in it, and there he stated his business. "You are a son of Mr. Channing's, I believe," said Mr. Dove. He spoke morosely, coarsely; and he had a morose, coarse countenance a sure index of the mind, in him, as in others. "Was it you who figured in the proceedings at the Guildhall some few weeks ago?"
Next to Channing's name stands that of Henry Huntley, and to him I award the seniorship. Henry Huntley, you are appointed senior of Helstonleigh Collegiate School. Take your place." The dead silence was succeeded by a buzz, a murmur, suppressed almost as soon as heard. Tom Channing's face turned scarlet, then became deadly white. It was a cruel blow.
But mail matter moved slowly and the army moved quickly, and events crowded so closely upon each other that Channing's stories, when they reached New York, were ancient history and were unpublished, and, what was of more importance to him, unpaid for. He had no money now, and he had become a beach-comber in the real sense of the word.
