Character and Conduct – 4 February – Regulation of Time
UNFAITHFULNESS in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person’s money as his time.

THE problem set before us is to bring our daily task into the temple of contemplation and ply it there, to act as in the presence of God, to interfuse one’s little part with religion.
… Amid the thronging duties, the ceaseless cares, the toilsome or pleasurable round of daily life, we must take and we must keep time to ‘commune with our own hearts and in our own chamber, and be still.’
As near as is the light to one sleeping in the light, so near is Christ
WE are too busy, too encumbered, too much occupied, too active!
The art of being quiet is necessary to enable a man to possess his own soul in peace and integrity
IT is not sin so much as triviality which hides God.
TRIVIALITY is the modern equivalent for worldliness, the regard for the outward and the visible. The trivial mind is enmity with God, and it is of many kinds.
IF we wish to cultivate our higher nature we must have solitude.
CHRIST was not primarily the Deed-Doer or the Word-Sayer. He was the Life-Giver.
