character is matter of serious I'M
portance.
1t is business asset to have your
ability and reliability well thought
OF.
Such acts of life as form the basis
of your reputation should be clearly
thought out and carefully performed.
But when a man places reputation
above character, he makes mockery
|of it.
When he cultivates it to nurse his
vanity, he degrades 1t.
When he sets fashion above COM
fort. appearances above facts, gossip
above truth, religious forms above
morals, or popular applause above
happiness, he has his reward" as
the good Book says; and it is a poor
one.
The desire to seem to be rather
than to be is mild sort of crime; bu.
| it brings in its train more actua
physical discomfort and mental re-
grets than many evils that are III
themselves much more vicious ant
diabolical. 1t is the essence of fool
ishness, and same of Stiffness, and We
it is probably the most universal o
follies.
