A THRIFTY PEOPLE.
You can see that the Utah pioneers
were thrifty people, They put every
effort forward TO establish homes and
established stage lines and mail routes
from city to city, and town TO town.
They planted gardens and fields OF
wheat; and carried with them wherever
they went the Anglo-SaNon love Tor law
and order. In % years, the Wilderness
had been reduced, and Utah was one OF
the I0ItmotI states OF kUf I llhflt eco

There IL great difference between
what a people are: reputation Ia what
they are thought to he Character Is "a
peoples actual holiefs, ~putation Is
what they are said 20 believe. Charac-
ter II life nj home. reputation II life IN
society. Character Is a peoples actual
worth: reputation is their public value.
Character IL solid and enduring: reputs-
don may be temporary and heeting.
Character II always true. reputation
may be false. Character II the very
stan OF life: reputation Is the deml-
settler. A people may have n bad reputa-
lion and good character or a good
reputation and a bad character Tho
Mormon people are more concerned
about their character han they arr
about their reputation. God hasten tho
lay when the Mormon people will be
known as they are and not as they are
