This month, we see some relief from financial pressures. At age thirty, after years of living quietly and passing a $50 loans between himself, Uncle Sewall, and his father when necessary, Gallison finally had money enough to invest on his own account. He was able to put $469 into government bonds, and another $100 into a savings account—a year’s salary not too long before.
Channing returned from delivering his famous Baltimore Sermon. For another, less formal look at Unitarian theology, we can read an extended account of Gallison’s Wednesday discussion group, which engaged in analysis of the Crucifixion.
