Character and Conduct – 13 March – One by One
OUR LORD…. does not, on entering a village, ordain that all the lepers in it shall be cleansed, or all the palsied restored to the use of their limbs. He condescends to take each case by itself.
Pastor Pastorum, HENRY LATHAM.
‘ONE by one’ is not only the safest way of helping, it is the only possible way of ensuring that any real good is done.
Rich and Poor, Mrs. BERNARD BOSANQUET.
LOVE cannot be content while any suffer, – cannot rest while any sin.
I WOULD not let one cry whom I could save.
The Light of Asia, E. ARNOLD.

These quotes are from ‘Character and Conduct’ A selection of helpful thoughts from various authors arranged for daily reading.
Collected by Constance M Whishaw and first published in 1905 as a follow up to her volume of Daily Readings for members of the Being and Doing Guild who asked for an additional volume
In her preface Whishaw writes:
‘This collection of noble thoughts expressed by men and women of past and present ages who have endeavoured to leave the world a little better than they found it.’
It is my hope in publishing them here is so that readers may be inspired to imitate the example of the authors.
