Character and Conduct – 7 October – Manifestations of God

IT IS human character or developed humanity that conducts us to our notion of the character Divine…   In proportion as the mysteries of man’s goodness unfold themselves to us, in that proportion do we obtain an insight into God’s.

J. B. MOZLEY

IF YOU want your neighbour to know what the Christ spirit will do for him, let him see what it has done for you.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

WHEN a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook and the rustle of the corn.

EMERSON

oooOOOooo

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.
