Character and Conduct – 5 October – Manifestations of God

THE distinguishing mark of religion is not so much liberty as obedience, and its value is measured by the sacrifices which it can extract from the individual.

Amiel’s Journal

THERE is perhaps no human soul which never hungers after God.  Men’s unbelief in lies is often quoted against them, by the liar especially.   But we believe – not when we are told about, but when we are shown – Christ.

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 readers may be inspired to imitate the example of the authors.
