Janney was born on March 8, 1856, in Washington, D. C. , the youngest child of Henry and Hannah Russell (Scholfield) Janney. He was a descendant of Thomas Janney, Quaker minister, and his wife, Margery, of Cheshire, England, who migrated to Pennsylvania in 1683. His early life was spent in the country, where his primary education was carried on largely at home under the tuition of an aunt and his older sister, Elizabeth.
Janney attended the Friends Elementary and High School conducted by Elizabeth Lamb in Baltimore and the State Normal School at Millersville, Pennsylvania, graduating from the latter in 1875. He then became an apprentice in a Baltimore drug store, where he served for six years. Graduating as a pharmacist from the University of Maryland in March 1879, he entered the medical department of that institution and in 1881 received the degree of M. D. In October of that same year he was admitted to the senior class of the Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, from which he graduated in 1882.
Returning to Baltimore, Janney engaged in the practice of medicine. In 1891 he was appointed to the faculty of the Southern Homeopathic Medical College. During all these years of many professional engagements, Janney entered energetically into the activities of the Friends Meeting, and into many of the social reform movements of his time. From 1900 to 1920 he was chairman of the Friends General Conference. For many years he took an active part in the work of the American Purity Alliance, succeeding Aaron M. Powell as its president in 1900.
In 1906 with other interested Friends and philanthropic citizens, he organized the National Vigilance Committee, which had for its object the suppression of the white slave traffic in women, then prevalent throughout the civilized world; Janney was made chairman and Elizabeth Stover, secretary. He attended several conventions abroad convened to consider the problems of degraded womanhood, and was appointed by President Taft an official delegate from the United States to the International White Slave Congress held at Madrid in October 1910. He also took an active part in the work of the Society for the Suppression of Vice in Baltimore; early identified himself with the temperance, woman suffrage, interracial relations, and other movements for the benefit of humanity; and for many years prior to his death, he was an active member of the headquarters committee of the Anti-Saloon League of Maryland.
In 1917 he was one of fifteen called together to initiate the peace service of Friends in time of war, a gathering which resulted in the organization of the American Friends Service Committee. He represented the Friends on the peace committee of the Federal Churches of Christ, and was active in its work. In 1907, with full approval of his wife, he gave up the practice of medicine to devote all his time and energy to reform and religious work. He worked devotedly and whole-heartedly to advance the principles of the Society, particularly in his own Yearly Meeting. In 1910 the Baltimore Yearly Meeting appointed an Advancement Committee with Janney as chairman; from 1914 to 1928 he served as secretary, resigning to become chairman of the Joint Cooperating Committee of the two Baltimore Yearly Meetings. Among his published writings are: The White Slave Traffic in America (1911); The Making of a Man (1914); and Quakerism and Its Application to Some Modern Problems (1917). He was also the author of several booklets and pamphlets. Janney died on November 17, 1930, in Baltimore, Maryland.
