Character and Conduct – 17 March – To be Trusted is to be Saved
NO one can perish in whom any spark of the Divine life is still burning. No one can be plucked out of the Saviour’s hands who still struggles towards Him, however feebly and falteringly.
Life Here and Hereafter, Canon MacCOLL
TO be trusted is to be saved. And if we try to influence or elevate others, we shall soon see that success is in proportion to their belief of our belief in them. For the respect of another is the first restoration of the self-respect a man has lost; our ideal of what he is becomes to him the hope and pattern of what he may become.
The Greatest Thing in the World, HENRY DRUMMOND.
COARSE treatment never wins souls.
HENRY DRUMMOND.

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 so thatreaders may be inspired to imitate the example of the authors.
